    Depends, are there any 126 pounders willing to meet him at 140? If you are talking legit 140 pounders, the answer is no. He’s a 130 pound fighter who can no longer make weight. He loses to all top 140 pounders and probably all top guys at 135. This is just a guess because he’s never fought a legit 135 pounder. Let’s start there before speculating about higher classss.

    Santa Cruz is not getting is respect forcoming to fight against a strong opponent and showing us that that jab is a problem for Davis.
    Tank and Loma both need to move back down. They are not ready for those guys at 135 because those young guys are growing into welterweights and Tank and Loma are as big as they are gonna get.

    I cant see him at 140 at all.

    135 seems his limit. The guys is 5'5, the elite guys at 140 are 5'8-5'10

    I agree. I think 130 is Tank’s ideal weight, 135 is his limit and he’s a little small there. At140 he’s a tiny, fleshy, midget.

    He'll have some success but for the most part he gets pummeled by the top tier

    Of course and he would be the king of that division hands down.

    Tank can box with any of them and can bang with any of them

    Tank is the man to beat below 147

    @ 147 Tank is up against it, but he could do ok if he picks the right fights under the right circumstances

    At 5'5.5" I think 135 will be his limit.

    Who is any good @ 140, ffs 135 is a much, much better division.

    top fighters @ 135 all whoop the top fighters @ 140 (Luke Cambell is not a top fighter, he's a bum)

    I think he can. Power and speed won't be that diminished at 140.

    Josh Taylor and Ramirez are excellent fighters at 140. Don't you know them?

    Ummmm, Taylor, Ramirez, Prograis, Zepeda, Matias, Anayan, Ergashev, Postol, Ponce, Akhmedov all do the same thing to Stank, as Stank did to Santa Cruz.
