    Should have been given the chance

    He is signed to Top Rank with no guarantee he returns to Matchroom

    See how that works?

    It's funny.

    Haney left Hearn and is now on Top Rank for his next two fights.

    There's little guarantee he goes back.

    See how that works, 'genie'?

    Just admit you are biased and adore Tank for reasons outside of his boxing ability. Not that you actually have to... because it's THAT OBVIOUS. For what it's worth, no... I do not like Tank Davis and never have, but that tends to be a pattern with me when it comes to belligerent, angry, dumb as a brick, woman beating, hit and run artists with neck tattoos, who have sick unhinged romanticized hoodlum thug fixations. Strange how I like Kell Brook, Keith Thurman, Shawn Porter, Austin Trout, Luis Ortiz, Erislandy Lara, Daniel Jacobs, Tim Bradley and Lennox Lewis, yet I don't like Tank. It's because I don't like assholes.

    There's no need for asterisks with Loma, because his performances are magical, and exceed anything Tank has come close to achieving in ring, that even includes in his losing efforts. Tank's skillset is woefully limited, and he has to continuously be bailed out by his power. Just like both of the Charlo princesses. Also, Loma has a consistent pattern of moving up, and challenging much bigger men, who are also the best in their divisions, not featherweight featherfists, also rans, bums and never was cherry picks. If Tank wants more credit, well he should fight someone with a ****ing pulse.

    Of course you don't like Tank everyone knows thats its so blindling obvious that Stevie Wonder can see it. I adore Tank for his boxing ability primarily which is electric. There is a reason he brings out the crowds because he delivers the excitement that the Mike Tyson and Tommy Hearns deliver. My main criterion is boxing however when you look at out of the ring factors then it is clear that you favour certain types because you feel less threatened by them and you don't understand the hood urban mentality. I think the difference between us is that I am more accomodating and actually like a wider range of people. when many though Bivol was cannon fodder for Canelo I said Bivol would win and was to good essentially a cherry pick mistake. I like Usyk a lot before he fought AJ and even though Big Bad Femi fought a stupid fight I gave Uysk his just dues and deservedly so. You don't need to like Tank but try and be truthful. I know its difficult for a Trump used to alternative facts but it will make you a better person.

    When it comes to skillsets Tank is far from limited. Power does not bail Tank out rather he uses it to generate excitement which complements his skills, speed, athleticism and ring generalship. Tank does not need more credit from you because it wont be forthcoming in any event, such is youir bitterness or hatred towards him. Its almost as if he stole your woman. Loma is a great great fighter but he is not infallible as has been proven. He may be magical to you in some fights but was not against Salido and Teofimo. As for moving up and facing so called bigger men yes he gets credit for that as have other great fighters like Floyd, Oscar, Tito, Shane Mosley, Henry Amstrong, Uncle Azumah Nelson etc who have gone up even more weight divisions. In fact Tank as you know has won world titles in 3 weight divisions. I am actually genuinely worried for you when Tank and Loma fight and Loma gets iced as you and your mate@Serge might never recover. Remember its just boxing.

    As for the Charlos you call them princesses makes me laugh. You wanted Castano a fine fighter to win but in a great fight Jermell another guy you hate stopped him in the rematch to become undisputed Champion. True boxing fans would have congratulated him on a magnificent achievement which frankly years back we never forsaw happening. I am not a fan of the Charlos but as a boxing man I have to respect his dedication and achievements to turn himself into a pound for pound fighter and champion. Yes I am a big fan of his trainer the great Derrick James.
    Finally for the avoidance of doubt I don't hate Loma or for that matter lil g I am just realistic about but the cult like worship some of you have for them borders on the ridiculous, it really does. Loma is okay but the Lomasexuals are another thing all together. Have yoou noticed on the RBR's that even your friends not just your friend like me think your scoring is "orrible" in Canelo English.

    When he beat Boy George he is contracted to have an immediate return in Australia as part of the 3 fight deal.

    When will be the first time Davis faces a man ranked the number 1 in the division.

    SFW, LW and LWW are his three divisions suppozedly.

    But does anyone expect him to concede his "a side" mentity to face Stevenson, Haney or Taylor?

    I expect year after year to pass without him ever challenging himself at the top.

    Yep with Top Rank

    I really struggle to see Haney coming out of both matches with those belts

    The undefeated Pedraza was the top guy at 130 pounds but after Tank beat him retrospectively he lost that status in the eyes of many of the haters.

    Oh ok so we now go by and agree with everything they say?

    Ok shall remember that


    No knowledgeable fan calls 2 of those 3 titles world belts

    And without fans, you have no sanctioning bodies

    It is what it is unfortunately as it may be. I never wanted to accept the WBO title but certain great outstanding fighters made that belt respectable. We have WBC Franchise which was basically designed to allow Canelo to avoid David Benaividez, the WBA regular title etc. I don’t make the rules but you can’t change them either or disregard them at your whim and like it when it suits you.

    People want to see an end to this endless stringing along with Tank where it's pretended he's one of the best boxers in the world while doing little of merit to achieve that title. I'm sick of it too personally. I want him to lose so he comes back down to earth and all of the risk avoidance ends in his career. I don't care if he has a loss on the record, it means very little in the grand scheme of things.

    You usually have standards of your favoured fighters. Why are you so happy to accept the mediocrity we've been served with Tank for so long now? He mostly has haters because he's ducking all the good fights.
