Is it just me, or is Wahid's resume aging quite well?

    Wahid is his chosen name.

    See I had no expectations at all I rated him that low.

    I'd say now he's on my radar as someone with some half way decent victories.

    I’ve always said that Tank’s resume could be better, but at the same time it’s really not that much worse than his peers.

    He has a better resume than Ryan/Cruz/Romero, all of whom he beat, and when you take out the very controversial Loma fight, I’m not sure Haney’s resume is that much better than Tank’s (if at all).

    Around 135/140, only Teo and Loma clearly have better resumes than Tank

    Haney has fought Kambosos, Loma and Prograis and id say all 3 of those would be clearly the best victory on Wahid's resume.

    Loma - agreed, and I do criticise Tank for never showing an interest in facing Loma years ago

    Prograis - nah. If it was prime Prograis, then maybe. But Haney fought a shot to pieces version of Prograis. He already looked terrible in his previous fight against Zorilla and frankly had achieved nothing since losing to Josh Taylor many years ago. Multiple Tank opponents would have beaten that shot version of Prograis

    Kambosos - absolutely not. He's a one-hit wonder, his level was exposed when he got beaten by Maxi Hughes (had to rob him to "win"). Kambosos would not even be a top 5 Tank win

    I've always been of the option that Tank's win over Kingry is overrated in terms of significance, but that his resume pre-Kingry is pretty underrated. Either way, it's a nice foundation to build upon should he eventually secure a truly elite win.

    Garcia was a belt holder at 130 and Barrios was a belt holder at 140 when the fights took place. Romero might’ve had some bs 135 belt too.

    Prograis would easily be the best opponent of Wahid's career imo. Although Cruz is looking good, but he didn't really win that.

    Kambosos beat Teo for the unified championship. No one Wahid has faced has come close to doing that

    Yes this sums up exactly how I see it.

    You took the words right out of my mouth, oh it must have been while you were kissing me.

    That got weird.

    Sorry.

    Barrios and especially Romero can thank Haymon for having a belt.

    Not at all. Cruz is overrated as hell. It's just that Rolly is horrendously bad
