Is Tank/Garcia happening too early?

no, Gervonta will be in jail soon

 

Yup garcia is is physical specimen but his experience is far below average, tank will play it safe in the early rounds and break him down round by round and stop him once garcia is no longer dangerous.

 

No the fight should've happened for awhile now. Everyone was excited about this great class of fighters at 135 and so far we only got loma-teo.

 

They are doing the fight because Gervonta " Piece of Garbage " Davis can get up to 7 years in prison so that's why they are doing the fight now.

 

Was it to early when Leonard and Hearns fought? Or how about Whitaker and Mayweather? De La Hoya and Trinidad?

 

I can see Garcia loading up on the left hook all night long. Not setting anything up, just launching heavy shots over and over. Tank knows not to get in big exchanges with him. I also see Garcia frustrated.

 

Nah it's happening at the right time. Let's look at it. 2019, for me, was when the 'Four Kings' thing first popped up properly. It then gained some traction in late 2020/early 2021 when Teo beat Loma, Tank beat Leo, Ryan beat Luke and Devin beat Jorge (some say Devin's stock dropped in that fight but idk). The guys could've paired up and started fighting each other, maybe with a few rematch clauses, and made some mayhem at 135. At the very least the fights could've marinated maybe a year tops

Problem is, through 2021 and 2022, Ryan doesn't fight for a year and talks about retirement, Teo gets upset by George in a perfect storm of a fight, Tank stays somewhat consistent but still keeps it all in-house @ PBC and Devin smells blood with George, going down the ESPN/Loma route

Now it's 2023. Teo has moved up to 140 and has a huge fight against Taylor, who himself hasn't moved up to 147. Devin will be fighting Loma and then immediately moving up to 140 too I imagine. Ryan has basically moved up to 140 himself, and while Tank had a swing at 140, that was more of a WBA Regular cherrypick. Shakur has also moved up to 135. Times have changed

So Tank-Ryan in 2023 is basically the final chance we've got of the so-called 'Four Kings' at 135 fighting each other. Ryan looks huge compared to Tank, and given how Tank is the oldest of these guys, he's only going to keep getting smaller than them (though his power deffo equalises things lbr). For me, Ryan's in a weird spot where he's not experienced enough to fight the big dogs at 140, but he will walk through most other contenders. So he really needs a big win, and boiling down to fight Tank could be that

tl;dr I think now is the perfect time

 

Already making excuses for when Ryan loses lol

 

By age 23, Floyd Mayweather already fought Gennaro Hernandez and Diego Corrales. At age 25 he fought Jose Luis Castillo twice. 24 is not young for Garcia to take a big fight.

 

so what if he were to lose? kid is learning, developing. a loss is a bump on the road when youre destined for bigger things. look at canelo. not saying ryan is destined for greatness, but if he were, a loss here aint gonna end him.

 

Based on recent, 21st Century fights, I suggest marinating the match at least another 15 years.

 

its not early. Canelo also lost vs Mayweather in his early 20s and still became a boxing superstar. I hate this early ****, just bring on good fights. You can always get back on track and win. Loss is tarnishing a legacy only in the heads of DKSAB fans.
