    The word “special” is quite powerful
    To you guys.

    let’s take it to it’s definition:

    Special -“ better, greater, or otherwise different from what is usual.”

    Can’t you agree that his power & ability to use that power carrying it up in weight the way he has.
    With such a tiny stature fits that definition above?

    Here I will even offer you an olive branch from your perspective :

    “I still do think Tank’s
    Power makes him special,
    he just hasn’t proven himself amongst the Elite.” - Cholo

    how does that statement work for you?

    Is that something y’all can co-sign?

    work with me homies.

    My opinion is you are full of ****. The evidence of their relationship is there and what Floyd has done for Tank. Remain blind to this since it suits you to be. Frankly I am done with this discussion with you.

    Yeah that's fine.

    That's what I said, he hasn't proved himself a special talent yet.

    We might think he is, but he hasn't yet proven it.

    I reckon If he fights Haney then he gets beat 120-108 119-109 or there about. Haney has an excellent reach and knows how to utilise it. I had that fight on saturday fairly even at the stoppage with kd's included. His power saved him but against the top guys at 140 he'd be destroyed. Too Little for the division.

    yeah ok bro,

    Special means better then the usual
    He has shown he is that.
    (I posted the definition)

    he has not proven himself to be “elite.”

    which no one outside of maybe MVC & his merry band of “money-weathers” are claiming.

    but it’s cool
    I can see the word “special” has a different meaning to you & a “special” place in your heart.

    I’ll just leave it at that.

    I thought Taylor had all the belts. Is this one of these made up titles to garner cash. It's getting stupid now.

    yeah they have no interest
    Of staying at 140lb against the elite.

    it was simply an in house move to sell a PPV nothing more.

    Devin is good on paper
    For all the reasons you stated

    But I don’t think he can crack hard enough to keep lil monster Tank off of him all 12.

    I think he gets chin checked something serious ala the Linares fight.

    but he won’t be doing the stanky leg wobble back to his corner.

    he’d go face 1st into the canvas imo … too bad Mayweather promotions doesn’t feel the same.

    the only guy they would negotiate out of house for is Ryan García.
    That one they do feel confident about. & for good reason.

    To be fair the very fact it would have been called an upset suggests there was a gulf between the fighters. If Tank was to face Taylor or Loma getting a victory against them guys would be considered an upset too. That again is due to the gulf between them. Tank has a choice, he can let Floyd make him as much money a possible or he can fight for legacy. The legacy route will also make him piles of cash but he has to beat tougher opponents that way. If im honest I thought he jumped past 135 to voud the other up and comers in that division because although Barrios is a 140lbs fighter beating him was an easier task than he would have faced by fighting Teo, Garcia, Loma or Haney at lightweight. Haney is the best of them bunch coz he has the talent to beat them all from a distance like Floyd could.

    Agreed, thats why the good times were so long ago theres too many belts now. I heard people saying Tank is now a 140 champ....er no he's not lol. One belt per division and fighters fighting at least 4 times a year will solve all these issues but too many greedy *******s with their snouts in the trough putting money first.

    Not a fan of UFC or MMA but give it time the same will happen there once it generates bigger bucks.
