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

    You have no idea about boxing little boy. Grow up. We can talk again if Tank fights the first elite opponent.

    You didn't even train your dog to sit down dude. You're talking some random bull**** in here. You have no idea about boxing. If you're working as a coach i guess your gym is empty. A decent coach would never have made the stupid comparison between Loma vs. Pedraza at 135 and Tank vs. Pedraza at 130.

    And i have fought several times in my life. Amateur boxing. Submission Grappling. And other stuff. I don't have to bring that up in our discussion because i have the arguments on my side and it has nothing to do with it. You desperately needed some stuff to support your nonsense.

    Stop embarrassing yourself, keyboard warrior.

    You are the embarrassment. If you were a fighter in any discipline you would be a crap one. Only the blind don’t recognize what a special talent Tank is. I am going to sleep as I can be bothered with you. Have a great day son.

    Him mimicking Fonseca while he was down to a rabbit punch he threw was disgusting. The ref ruling it a rabbit punch, then counting when he knew it'd lead to a DQ was even worse.

    lol if you read my initial posting i even admitted that Tank has something special about him. Nevertheless he never fought an elite fighter in his entire career. He fought many good B level fighters but most of them had an asteriks like LSC moving up a weight class for example. His best win to date is Mario Barrios who got schooled by Akhmedov. It's still a good win but not like "Man he just ko'd an elite level fighter"....no, he didn't. If you would just put your Tank glasses aside you might see it that way....

    If you look at the elite fighters between 130-140 they all have career defining wins against elite fighters in their weight classes....

    140: Taylor beat Prograis and Ramirez
    135: Teo beat Loma
    130: Valdez beat Berchelt

    I never said Tank isn't special. I just said his record isn't special. So if he's special why he's not fighting special fighters? That's a legitimate and reasonable question. And nobody of those Tank fanboys could answer it. Including yourself.

    There were some really good arguments towards the age of Tank in here. Tank is 26 and turns 27 later this year i think. He probably has 3-4 years left in his prime. So when he's starting to fight those elite guys? He's not a prospect anymore. He didn't turn pro just recently. He's not 22 or 23. He's a pro for like 9 years?

    Nobody wants to claim Tank isn't good or something.

    You're totally missing the point and missing the argument. You're talking about Pedraza and Loma/Tank comparisons. What the ****??? Who cares about Loma? Loma alway fought the best opponents in each weight class and he's a natural 126er while Tank is probably a natural 135er. If Tank wants to achieve the same Loma has then he has to fight aaaaa lot in the next few years and probably has to clean out Welterweight lmfao.

    How is he hyped? I haven't really seen threads about him being am ATG. I don't think he is even in the top 10 P4P. I have seem more negative threads like yours than anything else to be honest.

    Yeah. The initial punch that put him over didn't even land it skimmed round the back of Fonseca's head and cuffed him down to the canvas. But how the hell can any ref justify waving a fight off not only a flagrant foul but on a double one? Hitting a downed opponent but doing so in the back of their head while they're down and it was a powerful shot too.

    No just pure facts and conveniently ignored context.

    I'm not interested in your auntie's genitalia, Olu lol

    I don't have to work hard at all because other than Pedraza his resume is garbage and I only counter the delusion, Olympic level spin and hurl the rocks back over the fence the Twink fans have thrown. I stopped playing by my rules long ago.

    I couldn't give a crap about geeky teen ostrich Garcia

    I told you I rate Twink highly. I always have and I have no problem with his fans thinking he's a special talent. I have a problem with all spin regarding his resume and his accomplishments and him ducking the best.

    And coming back from a very serious shoulder injury and shoulder surgery is not your usual camp niggle lol. Did you not watch the Dre interview?

    ''Real killers'' don't chase paper champions, regular belts whilst ducking the best and I'm glad you bring up Loma because Twink has been shamelessly ducking him for years.

    I distinctly remember Floyd beating Gatti for the WBC 140# championship. I also remember Floyd calling Gatti a C fighter.

    Worst hype was in this forum when ggg was beating c- fighter's all the forum went crazy when GGG was beating fighter's left and right and former Walter weights and never was willing to move up in weight in weight in order to be great, Well at least Tank is moving up to take risks unlike your hero's GGG and probably Beterbiev??

    When Tank and Loma fight and Tank does a job on him like Floyd did to Pacquiao you guys will claim Loma was over the hill. PBC know exactly what they are doing.

    I know you rate Tank highly but some of the people on here hate him because they are anti Floyd and anti PBC. I personally believe the fights against the others will happen. We could have the Garcia now. I think the Haney one needs a bit more building. I suspect Loma will happen next year. The one I am not convinced will happen is Teo for some reason. Deep down not sure Teo and his father want it.

    Beterbiev now is 36 y.o and looked over the hill in his last fight therefore he now is target to bite in forums posts.
    Beterbiev was able simply to continue milk his 1 belt and not to fight vs Gvozdyk to unify. This wasn't mandatory fight for them.

    What stuff Beterbiev should did? To fight vs Dorticos and Briedis, Lerena, Okolie and Makabu at CW?
    Interestingly why for example Canelo or Kovalev did not had moved up from LHW to CW and had these in the ring?
    I forget, criteria for posters to value boxers not rarely mainly depends from thing simply called as boxer's origin.:D
