    Which fighter has a bigger toolkit, the defensive wizard or the power puncher?

    Only one way to find out
    They are both extremely talented with 2 very different styles.

    Tank, and you'll see that if these two ever fight

    I’d go with Tank, but I’m biased because I’ve always had a belief that it takes more skill to be a good offensive fighter than a defensive one.

    the only way to know for sure is for them to sign a contract and fight.

    I'd go with Tank because his resume is looking good ATM and he's a bigger guy than Shakur.

    That being said Shakur was undoubtedly the best SFW in the world, which is something Tank never achieved.

    If Wahid can get past Martin he needs to target the winner of Loma and Kambosos. But I'd make Lil Shaq next on the list.

    Shakur by some distance but he would get KTFO h2h.

    I think Stevenson is a better pure technician.

    That said, Tank does have some genuine craft and refinement to his approach. He's not a crude slugger by any means.

    Tank is better than all those guys and is wasting his talent.

    I’ve been saying for a minute that Tank is more skilled than these feather fisted flappers like Haney and Shakur. Those lads are not built for war.
