    Tank does have a couple of good wins in LSC (pulled up to 135 from 130 after starting at 118) and RyGa (at a catchweight w a rehydration clause). This guy has literally NEVER fought a LW champ during his 5 years at 135 and ducked/avoided Loma since 2017? Somehow missed all of Teo, Devin, and now Shakur. Against fringe champion Pitbull, Tank arguably lost and a KD against him was waived off...rather than clearly beating Pitbull the "champ" moved on.

    And, of course now, he's looking to drag down or up opponents. Pathetic lil guy

    Not Wilder 2.0
    But definitely a weaker sauce resume than Loma, Teo & Hanie had at LW.

    He hasnt fought anyone good, even remotely. Old, tiny LSC. Drained RyGa? And now looking for yet another cherry.

    Lil tank is pathetic.

    Tank is a highly skilled dangerous fighter with good power and a good chin. He is more than capable of beating the best guys at 135 and 140 but yes for some reason he and his management team insist on fighting B and C level guys.

    I think he's actually for real, but he has pretty much only destroyed bums, so I can't argue with any passion. The ****ed up part is that he is running out of time to prove me right.

    No. he is Gamboa 2.0 or maybe GRJr 2.0. Wilder does not belong here.

    Weaker sauce = good?
    Not wilder 2.0 meaning not 1 trick pony
    He has a high boxing IQ like it or not.
    He just needs to prove it against higher comp
    Too bad he is such a big draw.

    I always thought Davis was overrated and a smaller wilder bit like Bentley but as times gone on he's impressed me more and more and I'm now a believer. I thought he was excellent against Martin.As per previous comments though I would like to see him fight a higher level opponent now.

    Tank aint a big draw at all. His PPV numbers always leak LOW then PBC revises w a few extra 100k. Tank is an average draw, honestly. All a facade

    Overrated but ten times better than Wilder. He's pretty good. I like Tank but his career is highly disappointing.

    Very disappointing career considering he's very talented.

    His fans are annoying but Tank himself I can't really talk bad about him cause he's obviously in boxing cause of the money. I've never seen him talk about legacy, he doesn't seem to care about the pound for pound nonsense so it is what it is he just doesn't care. He's making lots of money and I can't hate on that.

    The only bum Tank has fought in the last 5 years was Rolly...................

    Leo, Barrios, Garcia, Cruz, Ryan and Frank were not bums, that's silly to claim they were.

    Now the caveat to that is, he should've also been in the mix with Loma, Haney, Stevenson, Teo etc............absolutely he deserves critique for that. But to suggest he was on a bum tour is intellectually dishonest.
