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

    I think he’d beat Lomachenko, possibly beat Garcia after a back-and-forth fight, and would probably lose to Haney and Lopez.

    If he fights a decent resume, he’ll probably retire something like 44-7-2.
    Lopez vs tank would have the potential to be a war both of their styles would mesh up nicely

      Blame promotions.
      He's the underdog against Lomachenko and Lopez. Odds for those potential match ups are already out.

          The hype train will be derailed eventually. He doesn't have the discipline to see this to the end. He'll eventually lose another title on the scales, get into legal trouble, and finally be forced to step up to bigger challenges he won't be able to overcome.

            becaue that's what fraud weather and haymon want you to believe, so you become dumb enough to pay your hard earned dollars to watch their protected fraud pretender.

              No, Haymon and fraud weather desperately need davis, they are both done if he loses, so he will never be allowed to lose. the question is if enough dumb idiots will pay to watch this fraud in all his fake fraud fights?

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.


                I cant disagree with nothing said

                    You're forgetting the guy who started the trend - Floyd

                      Tank has talent. Just his team has been very selective with his matchmaking so it's hard to say where he is.

                      He has one great performance - Pedraza. And then everything else is an OK performance. Relative to expectations.
