Lets Be Honest: Teofimo likely beats Tank Davis at 135

[Keysandboxing]

Let’s be honest Teo is thirsty for a big fight. He knows he’s moving up in a year and these fights go away for the near future. But Ryan and Tank have been going at it for over a year so he’s going to have to wait in line. Or fight Haney if you’re really that dude. Or just rematch Loma.

Agreed! Though I think he can beat both Ryan or Tank, I dont think any of them want to actually fight Teo. Lomachenko was a boogie man, Tank wanted no smoke, and after hearing what Loma did to Ryan in sparring its fair to say that Ryan didn't want the smoke either. What happens when you beat the boogie man, you become the boogie man. By next year though, Teo will likely go to 140 and beat Ramirez or Taylor in a TOUGH CLOSE FIGHT.

Picking Lopez over Tank isn't really earth shattering. Lopez is on his way to 140 and 147, probably topping out at 154, while Tank likely tops out at 135 or 140 if he stays in shape and dedicates himself (a huge if I know).

Frankly, its similar to why it was common sense to pick Floyd over Manny- the larger guy who is the better boxer against the smaller guy who is a power puncher.

IMO Tank's best bet is to stay in shape like Hagler or GGG and dabble at 135 like Floyd did at 154. If Tank goes the Broner route, he's going to get his wig pushed in at 135 and 140 regularly.

I'm apparently the only one picking Tank but I will explain why. Tank is explosive and Carrie's his power throughout and more than anything I think Teo will let his guard down slightly after beating Lomo the way he did and end up getting clipped because he now feels invincible.

I agree BUT Teo can’t afford to eat the same shots that he ate from Loma. Tanks power is legit and he can’t be a stationary target

I don’t think any of them are scared of Teo. It’s just business. I think Teo would be the target if Ryan Garcia didn’t exist. Teo is the next biggest fight out there for Tank.

Tank would be at the end of his jab for most of the fight

Facts.

He was pushed to his limit by Leo Santa Cruz, he’s not seeing Takeover at all on any level other than social media popularity.

tank knocks him out in 4

Lopez should of really sparked out Lomachenko if? His power was that great.

Lomachenko for me, is not durable at 135 etc

Note: You never know Tank Davis has Pacquiao dimensions, maybe he can survive at the higher weights.

While Tank's power is real, he's not nearly as dynamic as Manny was and nowhere near as fast with hand or feet. Plus, the real elephant in the room with him is his lack of discipline in between fights that will undoubtedly shorten his career.

Maybe, maybe not.

Let’s see them fight and find out.

I’d favour Teofimo but not all that confident in that to be honest.

It’s the fight to make in Boxing, hands down.
