Which do you think lives the more disciplined lifestyle? I think it's a 50/50 fight! Tank's advantage is age, and power! GRJ's advantage is hand speed, and experience! MAKE IT HAPPEN!
    Not sure you can play the experience card on GRJ. The guy has fought once a year for the last 6 years. Tank took about half that time to have the same amount of fights.

    Gary's inactivity hurts his value and worth. He has very little fans and has no draw power. Floyd will never put Davis in the ring with Gary because financially it would be a waste of time. From here on out Floyd will only put average/slightly above avg opponents as long as it makes financial sense.

      When will Tank man up and fight a worthy opponent? Any ideas?

        What he meant to say was "I feel safe at 130, but I'll go to 135 when the top guys move to 140."

          Tank vs Russell should be in the DMV
          I don't think they can have fans in the DMV yet, but if they can, definitely DMV a better choice!

            Definitely better than Gamboa. You get no argument from me there. However to me GRJ is all flash and not a complete fighter. His defense is horrible. All he does is keep his hands up. I’m like dude can you move your head. He’s not a counter puncher so he won’t be able to get off while LSC is punching. He’s really not all that skilled. Hand speed and not much else.
            WOW! Maybe we're not looking at the same guy???

                Davis' dimensions suggest 130 is a better weight for him but it's a business so $$$ will dictate which weight he fights at.

                  Only question is will Politics and BS get in the way given all the best opponents are with Top Rank or GBP.

                  My guess is even if he stays in perfect shape and does everything professionally Tank will be at 135 by 2022.
                  Floyd was the one that sees the best opportunity to showcase Tanks skills is at 130. They'll stay there for as long as Tank can maintain that weight. Which probably won't be long. I would like him to stay there and clean out that division but something tells he'll be steered clear of Shakur.

                    broner also looked great when he fought smaller guys.

                      He lost soundly to Loma in his 3rd pro fight.
