Of course Tank is elite as is JT, Loma, Teo and Prograis. LSC for instance has only be stopped by Tank and also a very narrow points loss to Frampton. LSC is going into the hall of fame and he will tell his grand kids about his stellar career his 2 fights with the Irishman and the day he faced the legend of Tank Gervonta Davis.
I gotta be honest with you, for me it's too early to call Tank elite - perhaps he'll get there, perhaps not, but I just think it's too early yet. If he steps up to fights like Prograis he'll be knocking on the door, if he beats a Teo, Lopez (edit: Loma, typo!!) or Taylor he'll be there, but there's a step up from who he's fought to guys like that.
In my opinion Prograis is better than Teofimo Lopez and It’s possible Prograis could beat JT in a rematch. You made reference to Teo, Lopez do I assume that’s just a typo error?
Tank is a manufactured PPV star. That means his handlers tell you he's a PPV star, therefore the public will tend to believe it because they said so. That foolerly will only go so far. Eventually he'll have to face someone actually good. Really pathetic. All these fighters in and around the same division that refuse to actually fight each other. Tank, Haney, Garcia, Lopez, etc..
At the end of the day figures don’t lie. Words can lie but figures don’t like. This is why Tankbis a proven attraction plus the eye test.
After more than 8 years a pro, 3 divisions, 1 legit belt.......fighters shouldn't be relying on eye test. Teo beat Loma, no eye test needed, we know what we are dealing with. Same with Loma. Same with Taylor. I don't care how many ppv Tank sells and neither should you. I don't know the ppv figures for any of my favourite fighters over the last 30 years. Why would fans care about that?
I watched the tank v barrios fight yesterday and I'm shocked that anyone would pick him to beat TTT after that showing.Got a calzaghe v lacy vibe to me only more violent.
. Bro there are enough Lomasexuals here who complain Loma did not lose to Teo, that it was a draw or Teo was injured because they could not accept what was happening before their eyes which is Teo mastered Loma on the night. The premise of this thread which I started was about how Tankbis becoming a PPV King. It’s not controversial as facts are facts and figures don’t lie. Because I have also been involved on the business side I care. My desire is for boxing to make as much money out of the game as they can because no one else will look after them when their careers are over. So yes I pay attention to these things as well as the fights. What people need to realise is that the Kings faced each other but they did not face each other overnight. Leonard did not face Marvelous Marvin in 1982 it was in 1987. I will not refer to the Lightweights as the 4 Queens which is disrespectful except for Crybaby Garcia who is a Queen.
Im a fan first and foremost I understand the business, sure But its a load of crap, you should admit it
Admit what? I already told you that I believe the fights will materialise just going to take some time. In the real world money matters to the fighters. They just don’t fight for the sake of fighting.
Only bad if the fights never happen. As you know I believe they will. If they don’t happen obviously bad for fans.
