    It could be either 135 or 140, let's suppose this is a Tank that fights top-competition.

    Tank broke his hand, whatever your score was, I don't see the fight being so close if the re-match happens but I could see Isaac causing some problems again.

    Shakur, Loma, Teo would all have a good chance at beating Tank.

    Nobody, because he won't fight anybody who even has half a chance of beating him.

    I'd favor Loma and Teo over him. Shakur potentially down the road, but he needs to prove himself against a top guy.

    Yeah, I watched it yesterday but even the early rounds I still mostly gave to Pitbull. There wasn't a particularly noticeable change in the way Tank used his left hand at any point in the fight that I could make out apart from maybe the twelfth where he fought one-handed. He still punched through the target with his left hand most of the fight but just really struggled to find his mark because of how tight Cruz is defensively. I just think Pitbull is problematic for Tank stylistically even if the hand injury played a part.

    Nobody cause that's who he fights nobodies. But TBF to him he doesn't really care about pound for pound or legacy he's in there just to get the bag so I can fault him for it. It's his dumb as rocks annoying fans that act like he's an ATG doing things that haven't been done before and claim he's pound for pound but then again they are a bunch of casuals with little knowledge of the sport and it's history so their opinion have little to no value IMO.

    If Tank beats Loma that's a big if then Stevenson will do it. Everyone hates his style but lets face it he's better than Martin and won't sit on the ropes begging to get knocked out, he's going to run and box all night.

    Tank more than enough power but not enough volume, this will be the downfall. Tank will also never fight Teo, which I hope isn't the case he would probably win

    Teo (if focused) has the best chance. He has a good balance of explosiveness and skills. Hes also quite durable (all his KD’s were flash KD’s) and the bigger guy. Loma also has a chance if he’s not washed. As for Shakur, he seems too hesitant to throw against guys with power although his defense slick style should in theory be the perfect foil for tanks counterpunching style

    Teo has the best chance imo. When Teo is focused and boxes smart, instead of just wild aggression, he’s elite. Tank could be more passive and look to counter, forcing Teo to be on the front foot where he’s less comfortable. Could be a low volume chess match.

    Loma always has a chance with his pedigree and experience but he’s too old now.

    Shakur and Haney are both incredibly overrated imo, Tank would have zero respect for either of their power, he walks them down.

    Pitbull rematch could be fun but realistically Tank as the better boxer is the one who would improve more in the rematch, vs Pitbull’s predictable style.

    A couple of years ago I would've picked Loma to beat him with no hesitation but now I think that Loma has slowed down enough and Tank is reaching his prime so unfortunately I would favor Tank to beat him if they were to fight next. I would never count the great Loma out though he still has a chance but I favor Tank 70-30
    Also I doubt that Loma would get a fair shake on the scorecards if the fight is at all close.
