    Before you start crowning the cabbage patch kid #1 just remember Barrios got his arse boxed off by a SHORT SOUTHPAW in 2019.. a Russian who had only been pro 2 years.. maybe team Floyd saw something huh? Just a thought.. & Barrios even said he'd happily rematch the guy yet never did. What's that tell u? What's a WBA regular title btw? Who in their right mind would revel in calling their favourite champion 'regular'? LOL.. you're only really applauding sanctioning body greed and mediocrity there… I personally see a talented but carefully managed, undisciplined & privileged fighter that avoids legit threats.. & like say i.e Wilders cohorts did with him somewhat they're building & manufacturing a phoney in house image for him.. marketing ploy.. smoke & mirrors.. for the low IQ PBC crowd etc.. They wouldn't let him anywhere near Josh Taylor.

    For sure.

    He is a PBC fighter
    Was unbeaten with an impressive record but slightly flawed.

    there was still risk coming up in weight.

    everyone knows that.

    Tank isn't Wilder LOL but i agree he's cherrypicking his opponents.

    Barrios's claim to fame is he delt with Velasco far easier than Prograis did so Tank actually isnt that bad but Josh Taylor handles him easily and Tanks team knows that

    Not talking about skill. I'm talking about the CLEAR cherry picking & bull**** that comes out of the mouths of their hangers on & promotional outfits etc.. ellerbe even stated they are going to keep it in house LOL… They don't have much faith in him do they… Limiting his competition to that extent..

    Same as almost every other top fighter and top promoter. Crawford comes to mind, haha! Top Rank in general. They all do it, Davis' team just said it. Kudos to those that have crossed promotional lines, for sure.

    We rate what happens, not what could have or what we wish happened.

    You're right. Wilder didn't assault his chick in public or drive away from the scene of a car crash.

    Oddly enough, Wilder did assault his lady in private. In Vegas I believe it was. Not too many years ago if memory serves.

    Come on.. I don't think TR are trying to pass off any of their regular (whatever the fk that is) 'title' holders as multi weighters.. & Crawford is a 3 weight champion btw... TR are far from perfect but they have shown willingness to do cross promotional events… whereas Ellerbe has laid his stall out dismissing any 'outsiders' for Davis already.. that's not healthy.. how can Davis & his joy boys call him the best if his team aren't willing to test him against the best fighters in the world? & why would you want your team lying to you about trinket regular belts too? They're genuinely trying to pass him off as some multi weighter.. fat twat probably just ate himself out of 135, wasn't really the plan LOL.. yet they're tryna convince ppl he's jumped a weight to take on a champion.. someone with a history of struggling with short southpaws .. Floyd ain't dumb.. that's all I'm saying.. though many of the people that listen to him apparently are..

    Never said Davis was bad. Velasco took an absolute pounding off Prograis tho, dropped him 3 times.. probably softened him up.. destroyed him to the body.. so we can't read too much into that… especially when you consider going into the Barrios fight Velasco had had one of his longest career layoffs.. was a fairly active fighter normally. And I'm sure you know I could cite you countless examples where fighter B got rid of fighter C quicker than fighter A etc.. doesn't mean that Barrios is better than Prograis.. I'd bet my house on Prograis walking right through Barrios. In fact I'd pick Prograis to fk Davis up too..

    I never said Barrios was better than Prograis in just saying. Barrios is okay and Tank beat him, skill wise Tank is underrated on this forum but he still hasn't done enough to stand a chance against the best of 135 and 140.

    But i agree that his team are a bunch of cherrypickers

    Didn't you pick Barrios to beat Davis? BTW it was a good win not a great one he went up 2 weights and knocked his man out. That would be like Taylor going up 2 weights and knoking out castano in his first fight in a new weight.
