Why are we pretending like Tank is some top tier lightweight?

Show me one pick I got wrong. I actually expect Davis to run Lopez out of the ring in 6 rounds. Who would you favor against him? Be real because it's gonna come back to bite you in the ass.
Which 130 or 135 now will be favored against Davis?Comment

I don’t see you in the Pick Em League...
I’d take Lopez and Loma over him. Higher ring IQ, better activity. He’s a live dog in both fights but I’d take both those guys over him.
He probably beats the rest.
If I was pricing Lopez-Tank I’d go Lopez 4/6, Tank 11/10. I think it’s a very close fight.Comment

Tank is the man to beat at 135. I think he stops Lopez in a short back and forth fight and Lomo showed he doesnt like being bullied and I think Tank shuts him down similar to the way Lopez did but gets a stoppage late. People discredit Tank but he has a excellent punch selection not to mention hand speed and devastating power. Tank doesnt lose until he tries 147 IMOComment

He grabbed a belt there but I think he's way too small for 135 so I wouldn't favor him against Lopez and the Haney or Garcia fights would be 50-50 due to their lack of experience and seemingly grit and toughness. He would've been very good at 126 and then moved up to 130 and just stay there.Comment

GGG did not beat bum after bum. He fought a few mediocre guys like every boxer in the world does. He defended his title against many top ten contenders who haters like you turned into bums as soon as he knocked them out. He is 38 now so he is not as good as he used to be but still a champion and still good. He was p4p number 1 for 3 years by Ring, Boxrec and the other major guys that rank boxers. Are they all ****** on boxing and the only smart guy is you? I don't think so. You are just a hater of Eastern European boxers as anyone who reads your past posts knows. If GGG was a black American boxer with the same record you would be praising him, not trashing him.We are in the hype job era. GGG beat bum after bum and was touted as an ATG and p4p. Crawford has a worse resume than Tank but he's top p4p. Lomachenko has a weak resume and got sonned by Salido but was p4p. This era is trash when you look at resumes. It sucks but that's where we are. At least Tank is fairly young with his resume and not in his 30's like Crawford.Comment

Why do you say even Loma when Loma lost a close fight to Lopez no matter what the official score cards said? Ward scored it a draw as did some others. Most viewer had it about 8 rounds to 4 for Lopez so Loma is still a top lightweight. Lopez himself did nothing special until his last two fights. Believe what you want. I believe Tank KOs Haney who has done less than Tank. I believe Tank KOs Garcia who as of now has done next to nothing. Tank has the best KO percentage of any champion today and hits hard enough, fast enough and accurately enough to KO any lightweight. I am not saying he beats all lightweights but I would not bet against him.Tank has been a professional for almost 8 years now, and it's crazy to think he hasn't gotten one SOLID win after being a pro for almost a decade.
For the first couple of years, he goes through fighting bums/cans as most prospects do, and he gets his first somewhat decent opponent Jose Pedraza. This is probably his best victory. Undefeated, and would later give Bumchenko a run for his money. Not bad. Then he fights undefeated tomato can knockout artist Fonsesca, a top 3 Tank win. But wait! Who the **** has Fonsesca beaten? Absolutely nobody and would get first round KO'd by Ryan "instagram thot" Garcia. Later fights ancient Gamboa who was on Bambi legs during the whole fight and took him 12 rounds to stop him. Great job.
But the biggest disgrace? In his almost decade-long career as a professional boxer, his biggest paper to date is Leo Santa Cruz. On paper, it's a good test. He only has one decision loss (which he avenged) and has never been dropped except for the one time he was rabbit punched. But how big is he? Well he started fighting at ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTEEN POUNDS!! Tank fights a dude that has NO business fighting above 126 lbs and drags him to 130 lbs. Now before you say "Oh, well he got a belt" but from who? Exactly. So of course he knocks out the twig.
And I'm supposed to believe he'd beat Teofimo, Ryan Garcia, Haney, or even Lomachenko when he's done nothing at 135 lbs and arguably 130 lbs as well?Comment
