The Campanella fight was 2 years after Oscar's pro debut. I'd say Oscar's prime was in 99 or around the time he fought Ike. 6 or 7 years after facing Campanella.
Never saying he would go 12 with these legends and they may stop earlier than Tank but then again Tank dropped him heavily in 2 rounds and decided to punish as per the instructions of his coaches to take him out around the end of the 3rd quarter. I am not even saying Garcia is as good as Oscar but he is the closest clone today.
There is no debating what I said about Twink's resume, Olu. It's so flimsy it doesn't hold up to light scrutiny and that is purely by design and when you compare it to some of the fighters you're trying to discredit it it's night and day You only have to read the post you quoted for evidence of that cosy relationship. It couldn't be any clearer Big Frank has a cosy relationship with the WBO. How the hell was Moses ranked #6 by them after beating an ancient shot shell of Wach? I think he's a special talent but that's ridiculous How in God's name did Yarde deserve not one but two world title shots, the second in his backyard for three of the four belts, when his best win is Lyndon Arthur who he's 1-1 against and his second best is who? Bob the Builder? Yes I do respect Twink's talent, despite his weak resume, the biblical amounts of smoke and mirrors surrounding it, his career long aversion to testing himself against the elite and ducking them when they're in their prime, and the fact he's never proven it above a certain level, I think he's very talented and is one of the best fighters in the world. The last I heard is he needs to undergo back surgery which is worrying
You notice Shakur has kinda now gone quiet on Tank. I know the Garcia beating did a lot to the others psyche and the Frank Martin knockout of a physically strong talented undefeated boxer bothered Shakur. Even his biggest cheerleaders Bud and Tim Bradley realised their little Bro may get iced by Tank.
it could very well happen. shakur hasnt been tested at that level, im just going on the eye test. by the same token, i dont think tank has faced anyone at shakurs skill level. and it wouldnt surprise me if shakur went silent, just like it didnt surprise me that tank says shakur hasnt done enough to earn a fight. theyre all faking it til they make it still. nobody wants the thick smoke.
I'm not implying anything untoward. Just a cosy relationship. It's same with other promoters and the sanctioning orgs too
Why did Nimzo get banned?? I thought he was articulating his arguments respectfully, did I miss something?
Did not rank anybody the top dog until tank won the title. That is my final word to you on this question.
