    How does Tank handle a puncher like El Chapo in his prime? Rosario back then used to be a monster of LW before the drugs took a toll on him. This would have been an amazing explosive fight and either of them could get stopped.

    For those who don’t know Rosario he was pretty much arguably the hardest puncher at LW, like a smaller Julian Jackson. He was an all action bruiser who gave Hector Camacho a scare and changed the Macho Man almost completely as a fighter.

    Rosario was a beast. He’s one of the overlooked P.R fighter before drugs. A fight between tank and Rosario would have been explosive action packed fight

    Let me tell you something. Other than heavyweights I have never seen anyone hit the heavy bags like Chapo did. The sound when he hit the bags was scary to me. Of course I was about 15y/o.

    Tank was more athletically gifted though and I say this as a big fan of El Chapo. It was Julio Cesar Chavez performance against El Chapo that made me a truly believer in Chavez.

    Rosario would throw one of those right hands as if he throwing the garbage out and would knock davis the **** out.

    Tank leaves on a stretcher and has to wear a cervical Collar for a year.

    I sure wish Chapo was around, that man was as fearsome of a puncher as Davis and an even more exciting fighter. Really would have loved to have seen him against today's LWs like Loma, Haney, Tank, Cruz, Garcia, Shakur.

    I would definitely back Rosario in this fight. Tank's slow pace would allow Chapo to unload on him. And, that is a bad idea for Davis.

    Tank is a patient fighter out of the gate and starts so slowly I wonder how Rosario responds? Does he go after him and leave himself open or does he go with the slower pace and wait for the fight to start mid rounds. Honestly can't decide,
