    He was a popular name back then but wasn't considered a top dog.

    He's talented but he avoided high level guys. He's a duck. But I won't go as far to say that he isn't talented.
    Only people who didn't box say **** like that.

    Tank is an accomplished pro boxer...No **** hes talented. Don't think anyone has a problem w peopIe labeling tank "talented". My issue is there is a thread - literally right now - suggesting little rehydration clause and catchweight king tanky would beat prime Manny at 130-140. Manny batters and maybe stops tank at every weight - its not close.

    Tanks fanboys make it hard to like tank bc of their annnoying mental gymnastic bull****

    Well the one who I replied to said Tank only looks talented. So I corrected him.

    Still a ****ing duck, that division was ****ing loaded we couldve had another super 6. What a waste.

    Bumping this cause this PPV crap is happening in two weeks.

    Hand picked a feather fisted super fly Lamont Roach to be his next fight. PBC commentator will be screaming in ecstasy as he walks through baby punches to score a highlight KO.

    Yeah, but Loma is a special kinda dude. He want more than money. Can't really compare someone fighting for legacy and someone trying to make money.

    I can’t find anyway possible you make more money fighting the Lamont Roach of the world vs a top contender.

    Do you remember when people thought Wahid was going to be the face of boxing?

    What a waste of a career.

    Agreed. But if all Davis wants to do is make enough money to do what he wants, when he wants, then fighting the Roach's of the world will meet that need

    I get that Tank only fights for easy money, but who really decided to slap ppv on this?
