    This is a Boss move. If Tank pulls this off it sets him up nicely to face winner of Josh Taylor vs Ramirez or Teofimo Lopez.[url]

    I think Barrios beats him anyway, but I think him and Floyd can live with that, but I don't they could live with ODLH's new Golden Boy spanking him.

    They entertained Ryan Garcia when he called Tank out then Garcia ran away because he is not of that life. Loma brings nothing to the table. Haney is another future super fight.

    Garcia can get it but he talks about it then runs away. Tank would legally murder Garcia.

    There are better ways to sidestep good comp than going up to 140 to face Barrios. I don't think that's it.

    Floyd wouldn't let Tank fight Lomachenko. The fact that he's letting him fight Barrios is all you need to know.

    Tank Davis is making Mikey Garcia moves and that is only take safe fights and take risk when you have a built in excuse for losing. Mikey didn’t wanna fight prime Gamboa, Prime Loma, Linares etc..

    Garcia went everywhere saying he wanted Tank next even got Mike Tyson to call Tank who accepted there and then. Mayweather Promotions Leonard Ellerbe then approached them about the fight they they ran away claiming they were fighting Pacquiao. ***** punk move. Only teenage girls on Instagram take Garcia seriously. Though mandate for Haney’s title he does not want it.

    Interesting fight... Gervonta's mostly fought featherweights since he won the belts and Barrios has good size and power for 140. This will tell us a lot about Tank's real level. If he KOs Barrios, Garcia will think twice before chirping at him on Twitter.

    That said, it's a calculated risk that shouldn't be called a boss move, as Barrios is one of those WBA paper champs... Fighting Prograis would be a boss move. Not hating, just being real.

    The way you go on, one would think that Floyd spurned your advances.

    I don't understand what the allure of 140 is for all these 135lbs guys who ought to just fight each other or the fairly deep second tier at 135.

    There is someone like Barrios in every division, why jump up two divisions to face him?
