    Who does he fight next? Ryan Garcia is calling out Isaac cruz, Devon Haney and George kambosis have a promise to fight each other next, and even Loma says he can't "get tank in the ring because of politics." Maybe a JoJo Diaz or who knows? Whom will gervontae fight next according to Mayweather's fight selection?

    Good question. Hopefully someone who is skilled and can crack.

    That would be interesting. Rolly has a lot of belief in himself. Heck they are both proud warriors. But honestly they both have a defect: for tank he has been coddled (due to management and matchmaking) no fault of his own. And Rolly is kinda a clown, like a dunce, don't know if people are laughing at him or with him. Heck everyone loves nerds just ask Sheldon. But yeah, good matchup- bragging rights reserved for whomever the winner would be ! Tbh I've never seen Romero fight so I can't make a prediction, but I've heard cooler heads prevail (his management) tell him to shut up before he says something stupid on camera.

    Rolly is a bum. He's done nothing to deserve a fight at that level, and wouldn't be competitive in the slightest. There's absolutely no reason for that fight to happen. Tank would kill him.

    He should be fighting the top guys next, it's ridiculous that he's still fighting nobodies/journeymen opponents. I wonder how long Mayweather can prevent him from facing Loma, Haney, Kambosos or even Garcia. I heard the PPV buys weren't so great against Cruz, the public will tune Tank's fights out if it continues on like this for the foreseeable future. His fights aren't worth the PPV price tag and Tank and Mayweather's name recognition will not be enough to carry them anymore, they need to face elite boxers ASAP.

    It will most likely be Rolly next. They really do dislike eachother and Floyd can try and capitilize on it by promoting it as a real grudge match. Is it a great match? Hell no, but i believe alot of people would get satisfaction from seeing Tank knocking Rollys block off. I know i would!

    Richard Commey blasted Jackson Marinez, the guy who outboxed Rolando Romero a few fights ago. I'm not sure why Romero is being sold as a viable opponent here. There's really not much on PBC's side of the street at 135, unless they want to keep beating up developing prospects like Romero and Rivera. They could get more mileage out of Fortuna.

    If they don't want to play ball with other promoters, the smartest move to make would be to try and bring Mikey Garcia down. He's a promotional free agent and just said he would move down to 135 for the right guy. That would sell big and it's winnable, albeit dangerous.

    He might need to start looking even lower than 126 for prospective opponents.

    I was about to say Richard Commey too. But knowing the mind of Tank and his daddies, I don't think he'll take that fight. If he couldn't bring down a midget with limited technique like Cruz, there would even be unlikely for him to go toe-to-toe with Commey.

    But good idea about Mikey Garcia. Not sure he wants to do the diet again. For me, this guy is a has-been.

    Or maybe Tevin Farmer, I heard those guys had exchanged words a lot in the past... :p
