    Hoooo boy - you seriously don't think Kingry or Tank have victories that are p4p equal to if not greater than freaking BREAZEALE or STIVERNE?

    Long story short is in close knit boxing circles it's a very well known fact that both Ryan & Tank davis are homosexuals and their love for another is clear to see beyond them wanting to fist each other inside a boxing ring.

    What do casuals love most? drama & relationship programs

    Tank is notably popular among his peers (other boxers) so even not having major, major win yet, he's got a good amount of push behind him. The popularity aspect of this fight is they're both young and lean into their respective culture's youths(Tank/urban, Ryan/post teen).

    Is it the greatest fight ever? Of course not. But it's an undefeated young guy vs. undefeated young guy fight, and that's never bad for boxing.

    I don't think it's a real fight. It's an exhibition match. Ryan Garcia is equal to a social media influencer, like Jake Paul or Logan Paul. He is not a real boxer.

    I think Tank will go easy on him.

    with respects to they division not really… I know Wilder get a lot of hate but him and fury are Heavyweights it’s only so much you can really do, at 135 you got guys from below or above that allow for more options. At a very minimum them guys was top 10 heavies, who has these guys fought in the last 4 yrs that was even rated going into the fight? Cruz wasn’t rated and only got a ranking because Tank struggled, Rollie was unrated and again literally only has a ranking because of fighting tank… Leo is a good fighter but homie made his name at 122/26 not 130, padraza was decent but that was what 2017? What are we talking about.

    that sounds good but being unbeaten doesn’t mean anything if you ain’t fought nobody, maybe when you 21/22 but when you been a pro for 10yrs almost and ain’t fought not one elite level top fighter being unbeaten didn’t mean anything.

    if you think tank and Ryan is better than bud and EJ or are better than the guys they fought then my friend in the words of the great Roger Mayweather “You don’t know SH!T about boxing”

    you can say the belts don’t matter but being a champ means at a min you top 5 in yo division, if you unified or lineal then you clearly the man and have beaten another elite level fighter with respects to your division. Now is every champion equal no because the fighters make the belt, but if you never won a belt and never beat anybody whose ever had a belt then in no way are you in any shape or form the best or close to it.. you can’t be king if you ain’t got no crown

    Luke Campbell alone is a million times better p4p than Breazeale and Stiverne combined.

    April Fools ...on April 4th? Bit late.

    We'll find out soon enough. If the fight isnt announced then I'm done with it.

    Just makes sense bc Spence was to fight Thurman at 154 and that line has gone completely blank...Crawford also completely silent atm...seems suspicious to me. Have a feeling the fight is indeed done bc if it isnt wtf is Spence doing and wtf is Bud doing

    Brother then make it make sense.

    Spence Thurman was supposedly to be at a CW between 147-154 or 147 outright...then the radio went silent permanently on that fight. Its not even whispered anymore.

    Bud supposedly gonna fight Reyes or some random GBP guy and...poof...nothing.

    All the speculation abound and neither guy directly comments on it other than an April fools joke...on April 4th. I dunno man

    I think bud trying to find somebody he can scam into paying big money for another fight like him vs avaneshin, and PBC might be pushing Thurman vs EJ l, I don’t think he’s interested or takes that fight, Thurman is a has been that barely was in the first place.

    Ryan is young and has been upping his competition at a good pace. I don't see where the Ryan ducking accusations are coming from.

    Both are super hyped so it is good that they are finally fighting. More of these young guns need to follow suit.
