    He's a talented kid, let's just hope he doesn't get lost in his own sauce like Broner did.

    I think Tank Davis is actually becoming a star tbh.

    He had 3 times as much people (15/16,000) in his last fight which was in his hometown as Fury had against Tom Schwarz, bearing in mind the crazy amount of publicity and media coverage Fury had with ESPN+ and affiliated partners. That was as a wild crowd as you will see in America, unless they are travelling over from Britain.

    Tank's fight was also peaking at 600,000 viewers, and that was against unknown opponent. Not to also mention that he was also going against a much better fight card that night in Hooker vs Ramirez and also UFC 240.

    Tanks might not be an amalgamation of the fighters that PBF listed, but he is becoming a star in the making.

    The balls of Floyd, the head size and height of Pac, the mental ability to overcome adversity of Tyson and the perchance for white powder of Whitaker (RIP champ and no disrespect intended).

    Tank is actually a big draw and he has a big social media following.

    Eubank Sr said Jr was better than SRL.

    People close to fighters tend to exaggerate.

    Tank is not a draw. Selling out your home town is good but we have no idea what the sale price was or how much they made from the gate. I wouldn’t be surprise if TMT made the tickets very affordable and gave out a ton to market their star. They still made a profit, not huge , but got to market their star fighter.

    Star power is when you can sell out Vegas or MSG.

    As for talent, without a doubt the kid is talented. But he is wasting it away with inactivity and fighting bums. He has had 1 maybe 2 good name on his resume and that’s it. I would love to see him in a good match up but I doubt it happens this year or in 2020.

    In the end letting FlIVd be the architect of his career will be a mistake.

    I dont believe it at the moment the kid is young he has power and potential I'll give him that but hes gotta step it up next year seriously.

    If he wants to be like Pacquiao or floyd. Hes definitely gonna have to move up several weight classes and face the best in those divisions.
