    Tank is far from generational

    When Shakur moves up this fight needs to happen.

    I remain unconvinced

    Ellerbe has publicly said they will only fight in house

    Actually quite a few young guys have stepped up and taken real fights before age 25.

    I'm concerned that, as time goes on, the ones who didn't will be richer and have taken less damage and their example discourages future generations and boxing goes further toward the pro wrestling model.

    Pair of privileged overrated American weight grifters.. neither man has a resume to write home about either .. Stevensons pretty good but Davis is becoming the LW Wilder.. Americans have to rely on this bull**** pound for pound nonsense to make them feel superior when in reality they just can't produce the talent across the weight divisions enough anymore because the rest of the world started caring about boxing.. so they hype up a couple of divisions that have a big American presence and imagine them as HWs or MWs & tell us that in this fictional realm they are the best :lol:.. Olu its time to give it up & kiss Fury & Usyks & Bivols nut sack .. they're the top boys , not that protected inked up little midget LOL

    Until it’s makes sense to do a cross promotion. They have done it before.

    Shakur would carve up Tank like a Christmas turkey.

    Complete mismatch of talent, only slightly realigned by GD's one-shot power...

    Shakur is a little monster, doubt Tank would ever go anywhere near him

    Tank and Shakur will never reach Crawford`s level.

    A good fight for the future. Unfortunately, it'll never happen if Tank stays with Mayweather Promotion & Shakur stays with Top Rank...

    Neither will ever be mistaken for a generational talent.

    That said, both will enjoy enough career success to irritate the bigots and the anti-American naval gazers.

    I think it’s a bit too early to say they are generational talents at this stage.
    I think Tank is closer to Broner and Shakur is closer to Mayweather..
    Let see them fight somebody like Zepeda and assess what level they’re at.

    All Broner had was a left hook.
