Tank’s road to ATG status

He should wait until Loma is at least 42 , just like Floyd did with his opposition.

 

ATG ducker.

 

At 28 years old he has no legacy whatsoever I doubt that with the time he has left and with his lack of desire to fight the top guys that he will ever come close to ATG status.

 

He has to the get the lineal 135 he's already a hall of famer but idk if its because of his popularity or actual record definitely needs Loma Haney and Shakur fights on his record

 

28 is pretty young

 

He won his first belt at 22 and has barely fought anyone of note since.

 

Tank has chosen the mediocre path of cotton wool wrapping to success

He has all the ability to be great but firstly the opposition isn't there and secondly he isn't fighting them.

It was acceptable that for many years he wasn't getting moved but not anymore and midgets get old quickly. Not much time left.

 

Mayweather influence smh

 

The road has begun olu.

 

In the old days 28 would be old for a boxer. A mix between better fitness and nutrition, but also the lack of activity against top competition they can spread their primes up to about 35 and even 40 in some cases.

Tank's longevity will have more to do if he fights top competitors.

 

The Floyd Mayweather road to ATG status:

1. Have smaller boxers from lower weight divisions move up to your preferred weight (JMM, Hatton, Guerrero, [url]Jesus Chavez[/url])
2. Always have a personal referee like Joe Cortez or Kenny Bayless to protect you
3. Never EVER face a prime boxer your own size (Margarito)
4. Never face a slightly bigger boxer (Forrest, Wright, Golovkin)
5. Wait until they are past prime (Mosley, Hernandez, Pacquiao, De La Hoya)
6. Always pay off the judges, just in case (see Mayweather-Castillo I)
7. Fight people before they reach their prime (Canelo)
8. Have catchweights and rehydration clauses to drain opponents (Canelo)
9. Never fight away from your hometown (Las Vegas)
10. Run like a frightened rabbit from anyone with half-decent power, pitty-pat so the dodgy judges will award you an undeserved win.

 

Step 1: Stay out of jail.

 

Not impossible, but at the same time it's a fairly long road ahead to get to ATG status... Given the slow rate of travel from that first strap at 22 to where he is now with (still) significant potential and underwhelming accomplishments, it's going to require a noticeable change in pace.

It's far from certain he'll choose to try for true ATG status, or that he'll achieve it if he does... But as a boxing fan, it'll be an awful lot more entertaining if he does actually go for it, regardless of the outcomes.
