    This.

    I'll throw in a nice run down below with full credit to @Serge

    "Of the 9 'world champions' Tank has fought

    Gamboa was 38 y/o and shot to hell and a world champion way back in 2013

    Cristobal Cruz was 38, shot to bits, a world champion way back in 2009 down at 126, as was 1-7-2 in his last 11 fights

    Hugo Ruiz was a world champion down at 122

    Cuellar was a former WBA regular champion down at 126, a career 126 who never fought at 130, and was coming off a 16 month layoff and a loss but was somehow nominated to contest the vacant 130 title with Tank.

    ''Somehow'' meaning that someone has a very cosy relationship with the WBA and one could easily be forgiven for thinking that the WBA's palms are being greased by someone they shouldn't be in return for favours because the WBA, and the WBA regular belt, is a recurring theme here

    Barrios was the WBA regular champion at 140 whose only claim to fame was winning a hometown gift from his three home judges against a seven fight novice. That's how Barrios won his bogus belt in the first place

    Leo was the IBF champ at 118, the WBC champ at 122, the WBA champ at 126, and he won the WBA belt in his previous fight, and only fight at 130, when paired up for the vacant title against fellow 126 pounder. Twink was always a 135 pounder not a 130 and his size and power advantage was always going to be way too much for 122-126 pounder Leo who prior to then the hardest puncher he'd faced was probably blown up 122 pounder Frampton

    Hector Garcia was the champ at 130 and dragged up to 135"

    Rehydration clause for Garcia, this list goes on and on. Tank "could" be absolutely legit but we will never know until this nonsense stops.

    This one is better

    Twink has only fought two legit reigning world champions who were champions at the weight he fought them at when he fought them. That's an absolutely shocking stat for the supposed ''face of boxing,'' a ''P4P star'' and a 11 year pro

    1. Pedraza. Very good win and one which is still his best win to this day

    2. LSC who was a 126 pounder who had only fought at 130 once and that was against a fellow 126 pounder who was 2-2 on his previous 4 fights. So LSC won the vacant WBA belt in his only fight at 130 against a career 126 pounder

    Of the 10 world champs he's fought

    2 reigning champs who were champs at the weight he fought them at: Pedraza and LSC

    3 champs dragged up in weight, only 1 of them a champ at the time.: Cuellar, Ruiz, Hector Garcia

    2 shot to hell champs: Cristobal Cruz and Gamboa

    4 champs who were champs at lower weights. It could be 6 because whilst LSC was technically a champ at 130 he had only fought at that weight once and it was against a career 126 pounder and Twink was a natural 135 pounder who really struggled to make 130

    3 future champs: Rolly, Isaac Cruz and Barrios

    How was Rolly nominated to contest the vacant 140 title at 135 when he was coming off a KO loss at 135?

    And he only won the belt due to pure corruption when the 40 y/o gimme opponent was robbed blind by the corrupt ref

    Cruz won his world title off of Rolly

    And Barrios was upgraded to full WBC 147 champ recently after winning the vacant interim title against Ugas who was coming off a brutal stoppage loss to Spence

    And how did Barrios earn that shot at the vacant interim title? By going 1-2 in his last 3, the losses a KO one at 140 to Twink, then getting shutout and schooled by an inactive Keithy who hadn't fought in 2.5 years, the win against a nobody

    And some of them were WBA regular champs which he was in two of the weight classes he's fought in until recently when he was upgraded to full champ at 135 after Haney vacated his belts

    Tank. 130 through 140 is endlessly deeper than 112 and 115. Bam is respectable though.

    Whether they were a bit past their prime or not Carlos Cuadras, Juan Francisco Estrada, Srisaket Sor Rungvisai, outside of Roman Gonzalez are 3 of the most notable names at Super Flyweight in recent years and Rodriguez dominated all 3 of them.

    Davis's best win is over Leo Santa Cruz and that fight was at Lightweight and Cruz spent most of his career as a Super Featherweight.

    Rodriguez beat a great fighter and former top 10 P4P fighter in Estrada, Davis does not have any win on that level.

    Not only does Davis not have a win on that level, he doesn't have one anywhere near it.

    Twink fought LSC at 130 and LSC spent much of his career below 126. He had 8 fights at 126 and 1 at 130 prior to facing Twink and the one at 130 was really against a fellow 126 pounder. But we'll call him a 126 pounder and Twink lost his title on the scales at 130, very nearly lost another one after failing to make weight the first two times of asking, and had to strip naked a bunch of times to make 130. He looked ill on the scales at 130

    Lol at Leo Santa Cruz being Tank's best win. Good one.

    Even if it was (it's not) how does it matter if gervonta is to refuse to fight the best, or anyone approaching the best at any of these weights?

    Tank's resume is underrated and I'll defend it more than most posters on this site.

    Bam's still got the better resume, I think. At least in terms of top end victories.
