    Tank is a real special fighter. See how he dissected an undefeated well prepared well coached fighter tonight in Barrios at 140 pounds. As I told people beforehand Barrios is really good. He made the adjustments midway took away Barrios jab and took it dog style. Great night of boxing.

    Dissected is what Canelo did to Saunders. I wouldn't really compare the two.

    Tank did impress me. I know I lost faith in him, but he did his thing tonight. Hope he keeps it up & fights more top contenders. Now let's see the haters who said Barrios would win give him his props (we know they won't).

    The haters will always hate but those who know boxing understand what they were seeing tonight. I have no issues with him facing anyone and I mean anyone between 130-135. He is cut from that special cloth.

    A good possibly even very good young talent? Absolutely.

    Special? No. I'm not convinced he's the best at 135lbs, much less 140.

    Tank is good and he showed himself to be a good fighter tonight. He has a good chin, he has a good punch. The problem with tank is that he is not allowed to fight the elite fighters of his division like lomachenko, Devin, Ryan Garcia, Lopez. He fights guys only when he is the favorite.

    He is in no way shape or form the best at 140. Taylor or Prograis would absolutely butcher him.

    So I take it you're a face of face first plodders who can't box for ****, and need their power to bail them out?

    I have been watching boxing for over 73 years. Tank is the best I've ever seen.

    I think he likely destroys Devin, & Ryan G.

    loma & López are the only 2 that I think would be competitive.

    but he could very well squash them too. Wish they would make those fights.

    but no way in hell money may takes that kind of chance with his lil mini Canelo.

    There is no way tank was up by 6 points when they stopped that fight… the fix was in.
