    Floyd cried for years about DLH giving him a smaller ring and making him wear certain gloves. Then Floyd turned around and reneged on CW w JMM and hand-picked Maidanas gloves.

    Tank fought at 140 but required 135, settled for 136...with a rehydration clause. Thats fine and all but then Tank turns around trying to act street and gangster..dude a little girl.

    If you have to handcuff an IG model boxer you are an insecure ladyboy

    No the guys have been fighting at 135 pounds where Tank holds a world title. He only had 1 fight at 140 pounds and relinquished the title. Once he terminates Garcia he needs to deal with the other 135 top guys like Ganey, Shakur and Loma then he will move up to terrorise the 140 and 147 pounders.

    It was not crying because he only disclosed it after beating and humbling Oscar. He was not crying about it before because he just wanted Oscar in the ring and to beat despite the A side advantages the deviant Oscar requested. Floyd tells the story to educate fighters as to how you become the A side. Garcia is a scared mother****er. Real Killers don’t complain they kill and slaughter. I know Garcia is an IG model and most likely a boygirl. You conveniently forget that Garcia has fought at 130 and 135 for most of his career.

    Is the second weigh in the morning of the fight?

    Because if it is,like the IBF second weigh in,it s meaningless.
    You still have 2 meals until fight night.

    He's still crying to this very day, see him mention it a few times per year or in the chance he forgets one of his D-R mention it for him.,

    He had to conform one time & it's made out to be this big thing where as there's fighters for example like Usyk who have done it more than once in counting who don't even bring it up, the difference in character right there.

    The idea is that the rehydration clause is more or less meaningless if the secondweigh in is in the morning.

    Eh,it depends,he probably didnt.
    Nobody will remember the regydration clause in 10 years time only the result like nobody remembers whitaker-Chavez was a catchweight.
    There could be reason behind it but the execution could be poor.

    you can read the comments here, and they arent much different from the rest of the internet, which now records history forever.
    there is a procedure for rehydrating a body which has been wringed dry. because the body, and the brain, hydrate differently. the brain takes longer. then you have to stop hydrating before the fight early enough so that you arent fighting with water in your bladder. tank has forced ryan to pretty much cut weight till the day of the fight, because he isnt free to hydrate at the pace his body needs.

    That’s my point-if the 2nd weigh in is in the morning more or less he’s free to hydrste at a normal pace.

    Anyone going in on Tank are Garcia fan girls or Tank haters that know what’s going to happen. First Tank isn’t a 140 pounder, he fought one fight there against the much larger Barrios.

    Now regarding the rehydration clause. Do you think Tank put that in the contract or his handlers? You have to be low iq as **** to think it was his idea. Tank does the fighting, he’s not a negotiator. Also isn’t the 10 pound rehydration equivalent to what the IBF enforces for championship fights?

    Props to KingRy for making the fight because the fight may have gone through longer negotiations otherwise. But now that you accepted you can’t make excuses before the fight to cover yourself when you’ve accepted these terms.
