Gervonta Davis vs Lamont Roach Jr

Roach would be a letdown by even Tank’s standards

 

In the immortal words of El Feroz, Fernando Vargas....... You must be joking!

 

Meh.

 

Not too excited for this. Most likely see a highlight reel KO for Tank.

 

Another PPV that sells 200k, brilliant.

At least it would be his second fight of the year, which would be something. I still can´t believe he took a year off after the Garcia fight, but at least he fought someone good in Frank Martin.

 

Booooooooo

 

Will Tank ever fight anybody that the fans want him to fight?

 

For $90 … Nah

 

shits so corny bro

 

The problem is, it works - too many fans not only let them get away with it, but actively praise them for it and talk up their mediocre opponents as if they were good.

It worked just fine for Wilder, for example, and it's working just fine for Tank, too.

But until boxing fans as a whole can stand together obvious truths, it's not going to change.

What's proven is real, what's claimed without proof is hype.
And resume is the only real proof.

As much as I hate to say this, my dude the problem is not that fighters today "think" they can become superstars that way - the problem is they ****ing well "can" become highly regarded, hyped and rich that way.

They won't become true greats that way, but they won't care.

Bingo.

One can only hope that the frauds lose - and then have to desperately attempt the real big step up that can save their relevance... And that, just like Wilder, that step up laughs them off like the frauds they are.

 

Or draining bigger guys and using rehydration clauses to make sure they stay drained.

Either way, if they're remotely dangerous that playing field will be heavily tilted.
