So if Tank is special why he's fighting B and C level fighters all the time?

    I think the caveat most see with the LSC win is that he was well above his best weight, which is fair. People saying he was only ever a B- fighter to begin with are talking silly.

    Please list the current fighters you know of who do not mostly fight c/b level fighters relative to the weight class they fought in. please and thanks. I will give a head start there is no one. In fact I dare you to name a current belt holder that has fought more than one A level fighter in the past 3 years

    the LSC was not a big win. What LSC accomplished was at the lower weight, 118-126. He had no business at 130.

    I agree with you, but nakatumi is a B fighter at best and I dont see you people saying the same about other fighters.

    yes who's LSC? right? on the other hand campbel is ATG, that's why you dont say the same about other fighters. And nakatumi will be a hofer the next year of his retirement. And crolla... wow! the fantastic 4. Not like Tank, who doesnt dare to be great, at least he could drag chocolatito some weights up and put a beating on him, why not?

    I agree, Tank needs to improve his rivals. But it has nothing to do with you all being unfair. And you all are.

    LSC is a great victory. Way above average. And I didnt like LSC at first, not at all. But he proved to be a good figher, a very good one actually. Saying LSC is a B fighter is the same as calling us idiot.

    On the other hand, a guy with Tank's talent should have more victories like this one. I only complain about that sometimes here were are not fair (and yes, probably sometimes I'm the one being unfair, I know, but lets try not to say nonsense).

    Don't know what the hell you are talking about with the other fighter. This thread is about Tank. If you think the LSC win was great that is because you are a nuthugger. Why stop there. Why not call up Inoue to 130. He is p4p one of the best. Would be a great win for him since he beat a p4p fighter.

    I'm specifically calling out the LSC fght. It was not a great win. It was a fight he was expected to win. He was campaigning at 135 and decided to go down an collect a trinket. Exactly how is it great when Tank did exactly what everyone expected him to do and that was stop a light hitting smaller fighter.

    before beating campbel (atg campbel ofc) your idol draged up rigo 2 full weights. LOL. And you people are still nuthugging for that. What are you talking about? you want to be unfarit to tank, ok, good for you. But dont expect people here to clap at you. You are saying nonsense.

    WTF are you talking about ? What idol. WTF are you smoking?? I have no idea who you are referencing. You have me confused with someone else. Quote me MFER on this idol.

    I stand by my statement that KOing a guy who spent his career from 118-126 while Tank has fought at higher weight than 130 does not make it a great win.

    Whatever, saying LSC is a B fighter is nonsense.

    What's worse is that you dont need to say that to say that Tank needs to face better oposition (which is true). You could just say the truth without being unfair to Tank. But any way, we are not going to agree here... so... let's agree to disagree.

    Never said he was a B fighter. I think you are still confusing me with someone else. I said the win wasn't great. It was an expected win. As for LSC , he was a good fighter and pretty good one from 118-126.

    See his promoters comments & statements about their plans for PBC in house fights only.

    They don’t have a lot of A level competition for the lil fella.

    I think of mostly the same names as you when considering "slick". I would add one that pretty much personifies the "slick Cuban school" in my estimation; Rigoneaux, who never (?) got knocked down and rarely took a clean punch til' he stepped in the ring with Loma.

    The point of my earlier post was not to claim that Davis is "slick", slick, but rather that Gamboa and Broner are/were not really. Both got hit too much to be called "slick", imo. Gamboa was similar to Davis, imo, in that he was a case of reflexes mixed with power and took risks on defense to prosecute his offense. And (of course) that did/are wasting their prime and did/will fail to realize their potential to be great as a result. In the case of Broner (who was never anywhere close to good enough to be called "slick"imo), the only comparison to Davis are some of his thuggish tendencies.

    So there :lunchacos:

    Sorry it took a minute to respond. I've been pretty busy.
