    I spelled out in the first post who they are and that they're better than Inoue's scalps. I even apologized in advanced, so you have no excuse to be this riled up.

    Has won a title fight though and isn't 400 lbs so I think I can safely say he's better than Butterbean. Tank has fewer KOs than Butterbean too so he must not be that great either, eh?

    So. Barrios was one of the top 5 at 140.
    Martin at 135 belonged to the top 5. As did Cruz, it seems.
    Emo Santa Cruz was undoubtedly the man at 130 after he beat Miguel Flores.
    Hector Garcia: The boogie man of 135lbs, who has only once fought at 135. Man, Tank really went after the top guys at 135.

    Pedraza? Legit 130 champion and clearly top 3 at the time.

    :lol: I can´t take this seriously. You claim that Tank fought the best at 130, 135 and 140?

    Tank enters top 3 p4p for me. Can swap Inoue and Tank for 2 or 3.

    I can agree with this, but what top 10-15 pfp fighters has Tank beaten? I see the Frank Martin win equal to The Steph Fulton win for Inoue. That being said, just off the top of my head, there is very little separation between their top 5 best opponents. I could be wrong, but if I am correct, the only other marker to use are their accomplishments, which favors The Monster.

    :meparto: Tank beats a guy who isn't even a top 5 guy in his division and Tank himself isn't even the best guy in his division yet is somehow one of the top 3 best fighters on the planet somehow lol

    Barrios wasn't even a top 5 guy at 140 at the time, he was ranked 7th by The Ring when he fought Tank iirc

    My claim is that they're better than what Innoue has. Glorifying the Paul Butlers and Emmanuel Rodriguezes of the world amounts to putting glitter on a turd.

    And in one of the comments you claimed that Tank was facing the best in the divisions he has fought in. This is clearly not true.

    It'll be no contest at all once Tank beats a top 15 pfp fighter.

    When I look at Ryan Garcia, Martin, Cruz, Barrios, etc. I see good fighters in their prime with unique strengths and dissimilar styles. When I look at Rodriguez, Butler, Tapales, Nery, etc. I see a pack of totally forgettable fighters. And then you've got Fulton who is good, but featherfisted and physically weak, and Donaire, who was way too old to have the success he did against Inoue in the first fight.
