    After Tank’s comprehensive win against Ryan Garcia I feel it necessary to highlight Tank’s victory against Mario Barrios a much better fighter than Garcia. Tank is that rare breed of special fighter cut from a different cloth. Watch the fight again and see for yourself. 135 pounders and 140 pounders are put on notice:[url]

    He is certainly one of the great ones of our times. Time will tell if he can cement his legacy amongst the pantheon of the greats like Mayweather, Mosely, and Whitaker

    He needa to prove against Top 3 of any division.

    We know how people were hyping Wilder until Fury expose his "talent"

    Tank has serious boxing skills. Wilder is devoid of skills.

    Yes he can and he has. Barrios is a very good fighter and was another undefeated world champion who Tank ended. Put in context that Keith Thurman subsequently could not stop Barrios.

    Barrios was the WBA regular champion, a very good fighter and in the top 5 or 6 of that division. He was undefeated and has now moved up to Welterweight. Tank had real physical advantages and was testing the waters at the higher weight for when he moves up eventually. Barrios was far better than Garcia. You guys need to understand there is a big difference between being a very good fighter and a popular famous fighter like Ryan Garcia. As a Tank fan I was way more concerned about Barrios than Garcia by far. I knew Garcia had never fought anyone nearly as good as Tank but Tank had beaten many fighters better than Garcia.

    If he could then why is he fighting fake champions and unrated guys? That’s what nobody can explain Tank can KO everybody at 135/140 but yet he fighting unrated dudes that nobody has heard of that have never accomplished anything in boxing. Make it make sense

    He is fighting guys signed up to PBC like Barrios and Issa Cruz because they are very good and economically highly viable. Putting an African America boxer against a Mexican/Latin American fighter tends to do well on PPV and at the box office. The Garcia fight last Saturday was an excellent example of this. PPV numbers of 600,000-800,000 would have been a massive success especially with the higher pricing points available now but it did better than projections basically more than projected and budgeted for to stunning effect. Boxing is back baby and Tank is leading the way with his dance partner Garcia. All the guys he beat are champions, former champions and contenders. The YouTubers can’t get these figures.
