Really? "Regular" titlist is not a champ, a lot of hooey! Feckin bodies makin a mockery of the sport allow fighters to target fake-title-trinkets and avoid the facing best! Josh Taylor is THE WBA champ @ 140 Lopez is THE WBA champ @ 135 Davis only legit title(s) are at 130, beating Pedraza for IBF strap. The WBA Super that he won was a bit odd in that Machado was "downgraded" to regular champ, with Davis fighting (and KOing) Cuellar for the Super (legit) title. Something definitley fishy there. This type of 'claim' is as legitemate as saying that Pacman is an 8 division champ (he's not, 5 only), or that GGG equalled Hopkins title defenses (he technically didn't because the first 10 sefenses were only regular title defenses - alothough tbf to GGG the Super champ was vacated so that situations was a bit different, but still). I know the bodies need their sanctioning fees and corruption abounds, but it should be sorted out as it's easily the worst aspect of boxing today, and is a real barrier to the best fighting the best.
Ahead of who? I have Valdez higher because he’s beaten top fighters. That Berchelt win is better than any of Tanks wins. In no order these guys are top 10 P4P Canelo Inoue Crawford Spence Usyk Loma Teofimo Taylor Estrada Fury And guys like GGG, Pacquiao, Valdez, Joshua are up there as well. This win doesn’t actually do a whole lot for tank in the grand scheme of things.
Not by moving up and beating a limited paper champ. Lets not act as if he just beat Prograis or Taylor.
Totally agree, but avoiding top fighters on your climb to wealth is standard operating procedure in todays boxing in practically every division. With all the titles and divisions it's possible to win a belt for some made up vacant title defend it a few times move up win another belt defend it and have 8 title defenses in 2 divisions and never fight anyone in the top 3 or 4 in either division.
Except neither were legitimate three weight simultaneous champions as the regular belt counts for jack **** except to say you're owed a mandatory shot. Gervonta is still only a single weight champion.
As long as they keep feeding him bums, he will look good. He’s a protected fighter, more than anyone in boxing. Got out of 130 and 135 without fighting one life body. Just old guys and little guys moving up. Total hype job joke. Funny they seem to keep him away from all top challengers. Even guys who have called him out. People are chumps, Tanks team is going to continue slinging the **** as long as suckers are willing to gobble it up. Gobble gobble. He will talk trash with the top guys and clout chase but will wind up fighting another bum. It’s his pattern and binding expect it to stop any time soon. He’s not a bum chaser, he’s a bum catcher.
What a shocker that this is the poster, to make this thread. Talk about ultimate cringe fanboy status, this man is the standard bearer.
It's a challenging endeavor attempting to decipher the inner workings of the trolls twisted mind and perverse imagination.
Isnt MVC some white or asian 4.9 feet dude, trying his best to appeal to black boxing community since 2013?
