    Why are you trying to build him up?

    He is no-doubt a great fighter but we wont know how good he is until he takes on a top-tier opponent.

    He has faced and beaten top tier opponents including a future hall of famer in Leo Santa Cruz. I am not trying to build him up just stating facts. ESB haters may not like it but that is on them not me.

    So Tank beat a guy you though was a hype job...now you use that same win to prop him higher. What a shameless lil ****....

    I like how much of a simpleton Tank comes across outside the ring it's a shame he has has a few black marks against his character otherwise I'd be a massive fan. He comes across very meek.

    But in that ring he's a natural instinctual fighter although that isn't really a thing it's years of training. He's extremely smart. People like to be like "ooo he lost this round etc" but top guys know that giving rounds away is perfectly fine. It's a marathon not a sprint.

    Never said Garcia was a hype job. He is a good fighter but not on Tank's level. My biggest issue with Garcia was boasting he would knock Tank out in 2 rounds after he beat "Cool Hand" Luke Campbell even publicly calling out Tank on Mike Tyson's podcast and then chickening out after Tank publicly accepted lying that he had mental health issues or demons. Call me old fashioned but that was a know know, telling that when the going gets tough he would be found lacking. You need more than talent in this game or posting flashy videos to teenage girls on instagram.

    False, you may not understand or appreciate his skills, but he has certainly skills that compliment his God-given traits, although they may be a bit unorthodox compared to what many think boxing “should” look like. Wilders timing and sense of distance is excellent.

    It takes more than punching hard to medal at the Olympics and beat most of your competition as a professional, including nearly stopping the best fighter in the division.

    I agree with you about Tank, cant wait to see him tested against another elite fighter.

    That's not how I perceived it. Everyone was sure wilder was a total fraud propped up with a resume full of journeymen and washed up fighters. Then after the fury fights ppl say he's a top 3 hw puncher of all time...

    I may be harsh on Wilder in that their might be some method to his madness but his skill level is somewhat rudimentary or what what I will call agricultural. But sure he is a dynamite puncher with the right hand.

    :lol: Is that a line you've used in court Mr. Wannabe Barrister? You've been exposed as a poser ass liar too many times. Pretending to be related to Azumah ...trying to call the Mayweather's family... You're just a dumb little kid playing make believe on the internet...

    Everyone talking about Tank like he's a great, the only top 5 fighter he beat was from 2 weight classes below him. He's a puncher definitely but he's feasted on sub par opposition remember Everyone had Joyce above Foreman last week.
