    Ever since he took that strap off of pedraza it’s been EZ street for Tank.

    People are easily duped.
    I do think Tank is Legit. I just don’t Truly know it by his competition as of late.

    Garcia doesn't use his height and reach well yet. He rely strictly on his speed and power. His inexperience will allow Tank to take advantage of this. Garcia never established his front foot on the outside of Campbell and kept over shoot his lead right hand, putting him in danger of a counter left hook, in which Tank likes to throw and will land accurately on Garcia. Tank will allow Garcia to be the aggressor and catch him coming in anxiously with a counter left hand or counter left hook.

    You think Garcia has less power than Davis? Garcia clipped Fonseca a lot quicker than Tank did. Skill-wise is probably debatable, Tank's defense seems better to me but I could be wrong.

    I 100% agree with you on Haney, he is the most skilled out of the three without question.

    I'm not yet confident that King Ry would take out Sniper or LSC in quite the same brutally decisive way (if at all, honeslty)...nor Walsh or Cuellar as early as Davis did.

    Just had a look and Fonseca is their only common opponent to date. If he builds up a larger body of evidence of superior results against the same or similar guys, then I'd be inclined to lean towards his power being equal or greater. Luke is a start, but more is needed to cancel out Santa Cruz and Pedraza.

    As it stands he already boasts a slew of advantages in a h2h matchup: hand speed, ring IQ, height, reach. Only thing Tank really has going for him is an edge (IMO, but not a massive one) in power, probably also in chin but the jury's out until he fights a live body with a big punch himself, and being a southpaw, although, giant question mark on how disadvantaged García would even be there, as he has thus far fought two professional southpaws - including a world class one in Campbell (along with Noe Raygoza) and knocked them both out.

    Germane to this thread: García fought Haney six times in the amateurs. They split the series with three victories each (at least one for García was a split dcision, and one for Haney was a three-card shutout).

    Gervonta never fought either.

    Haney may KO Garcia. Garcia's defense is non-existant, and he is way too flat footed. Haney is too good a boxer to have any problems whatsoever with Garcia.

    Garcia is 5'10" with a 70" reach, Tank is 5'5 1/2" with a 67.5" reach. Even if Garcia comes to him, he will have a hard time getting to him because of that. He had to come to Leo in order to get to him and Leo is a come forward fighter. Garcia is bigger, faster, and hits a lot harder than Leo. Plus the kid is a quick study. He adjusted quite well against the Campbell knockdown. Hate to say it but I think he stops Davis. To much upside.

    At 135, Fortuna took him out quicker, and had the ref allowed it to continue, probably more brutally than Davis did as well.

    And yeah, sadly for Leo, he'd be brain damaged by the third round.

    I like Garcia against Haney, not so much against Tank.

    Hey, Haney vs Fortuna is a damn good fight. Fortuna can possibly win that fight.

    I wouldn't rule it out, Javier has probably the trickiest most unpredictable style possible for Haney to have to deal with.
