Fact or Fiction: Tank is the weakest of the 135 cause he wont fight other guys...

Lil Boosie, time for your nap.

 

He sure did have a hard time putting away a bloated above his natural weight class old shot midget Cuban leprechaun who only had one leg. Took Tank all twelve rounds.

That being said he sure put on a hilarious performance where he got slapped around over seven rounds facing another natural 126 pound boxer in Leo Santa Cruz. Imagine if LSC hit harder... you know, like a natural to the weight class.

What possibly makes you think he can knock out anyone who is a natural to the 135 weight, let alone guys like Lopez who are natural 140+? There is absolutely no reason to believe his vaunted power moved up with him. SMH.

I see him as basically Broner 2.0 A guy who moves up in weight class and his power doesn’t get the forwarding address. Time will tell...

 

Tank will beat Garcia. When he lands that left, it's good night.

Haney-Tank is a toss up.

Teo beats the **** outta all three.

 

Haney is the weakest, he looks nothing special even against gatekeepers.

 

he is skilled despite looks that S/C and fittness level is not top yet. He might improve, will see.

 

As soon as Tanks puppet masters allow him to face a top, prime LW, you will see why he has been shielded for so long. He will be exposed worse than Wilder and go back to fighting little guys exclusively. All the while talking trash on Twitter. He’s protected for a reason.

 

Davis is not the weakest of the division but he is the weakest of the top tier.
Haney kills him, Garcia kills him, Lopez bangs him out until the 12 if he doesn't fold before hand, and Stevenson and Conlan use him as a stepping stone when they move through if Davis has not eaten his way up to 147. By then he will be AB 2.0 getting paydays to be a boxing court jester padding resumes.

 

FICTION

 

He's only just stepped up to lightweight and still a super feather in reality anyway. Give him a break. Plenty of time for him, Kingry, Teo, Haney and Loma to fight each other. Best division in boxing right now.

 

Fiction, because Haney and Garcia haven't beaten anybody much better. Due to the recent cherry picks, we (and Floyd) tend to forget that Tank won his belt off an excellent boxer in Pedraza then went to the UK to beat the **** out of a then-undefeated Liam Walsh. While the level of his competition has since fallen off big time since, that's some champion ****.

I actually just calculated the winning percentage and average BoxRec rating of the four lightweight "kings'" last 8 opponents (I would've liked to have used the opponents' world rankings at the time of the fight, but I don't know how to find them):
1. Tank: 217-11-2 (94.78%) (Avg. Opponent Rating: 37.3)
2. Lopez: 196-12 (94.23%) (Avg. Opponent Rating: 47.9)
3. Haney 182-18-2 (90.59%) (Avg. Opponent Rating: 14.4)
4. Garcia: 180-31-10 (83.71%) (Avg. Opponent Rating: 13)
(Loma's is 200-15-7 [91.67%] and 107.3)

While it's not the best measure in the world given how all of these guys have fought trumped up club fighters like Menard or, in the case of Tank, blown up 122 and 126-pounders, it does shows that Tank and Lopez have been fighting decent comp for longer than Haney and Garcia have. That experience will be vital should they meet h2h, which is why I'd give Tank the nod over Devin & Ryan at this point in time.

 

Ill take haney of the 3

 

I think we find out this year.

 

I dont know
I dont think any of those guys fight haney. Highest risk, lowest reward. I hope, i dont know though.
Maybe haney gonna have to fight that other mexican cat that steamrolled somebody recent or fortuna or kambosis

 

fortuna is not a bad fight for Haney.
I like the Linares fight for him better that would be a good litmus test & step up fight. But he wants Teofimo!
