Tank vs Bud and Boots if they were the same size

Tank won't even fight the elites in his own division. Why would I pounder on him facing Crawford in a fantasy fight, who is now 3 divisions above him?

 

Honestly...... if tank was a natural 147/154 pounder with his combination of power and skill, I think he would beat Crawford by KO. Boots would be 50/50

 

Its tough to say, tank seems to over rely on his left hand, where as crawford will set you up with either hand depending on situation. Boots ennis has yet to face any elite opposition so i cant comment on his boxing him.

 

Ya cus Pitbull and 1 legged Geriatric Gamboa are so much better then Crawford.

Hatin ass *****, honestly

Tank loses to both but Tank wouldnt fight either

 

Neither has Tank. Not without pulling them up in weight (LSC) or using a catchweight w rehydration clause. And now he tryna fight Loma when that fight was presented in 2018...literally 7 years ago lmao

 

voted option C, I think Crawford is in a class of his own and Davis is not dynamic enough offensively. I picked him over Ennis as Ennis is still somewhat unproven but I am hopeful of Ennis and was hoping he would have gotten a try at Crawford or Spence.

 

They're not the same size. And if they were, they'd fight differently.

 

If Tank was a natural 147/154 pounder.....he'd only fight lightweights moving up to welterweight. Stop trying to create some notion as if his size keeps him from competing at the highest level. He won't even fight the best in his division. So if he was a welter or middleweight.... We would never see him in the ring vs Crawford, Spence, Ennis, etc.....

Let's stop with this power & skill campaign. Tank doesn't pose any elite IQ that will break down Crawford, nor is his power beyond manageable for bigger opponents. Can you name a bigger opponent Tank has stopped that he didn't force a "re-hydration" clause on? Tank is stopping smaller fighters like Leo Santa Cruz and y'all acting like his power is that of a middleweight.

Why couldn't his power back up Isaac Cruz. Why did it take him 12 rounds to finish an older Gamboa who had an injury to his Achilles in the 2nd round of their fight? Are we going to ignore how much Tank gets hit with clean punches until he finally catches an over confident opponent in the middle rounds. People claim Crawford gets hit a lot, but the stats say otherwise. Yes we've seen him get clipped while being aggressive vs Gamboa/Kavaliauskas...but people act like those 2 punches happen all the time. Tank was getting touched up by LSC a whole lot.... Rolly was outboxing him. It's even laughable that his last fight vs Frank Martin, all the judges cards had him winning the fight at the time of the stoppage when clearly, those first 4 rounds clearly were Martin rounds.

Tank plays it safe at 135lbs because he understands his limits in competition and how he can maximize his brand in that division. If a 140lb'er wants to face him......re-hydration clause goes into effect which is a huge factor on that fighters stamina and power. Otherwise, he's going to fight opponents who are moving up from a lower division. In his own division he has Loma, Stevenson, Zepeda, etc..... At least fight Edwin De La Santos who is a legit puncher himself and is ranked in the top 5 on 3 of the 4 sanctioning bodies lists, including the WBA. Tank's title. Zepeda is the mandatory on all the belts I believe. Loma & Stevenson would be unified bouts and both said they want Tank, but Tank being so much like his former mentor, Floyd Mayweather, is looking to maximize profit fighting lesser risk opponents and gunning for the big names before they are ready or as they are out of their prime.

 

He isn't beating Bud, nobody p4p is. Maybe Inoue? But nobody else

 

Disagree. I think Loma, Canelo, GGG, and Ennis beat Crawford. Just because Crawford beat a weight drained Spence doesn't mean he is above everyone else. Like Keith said, "That Spence loses to every top 5 WW that night."

 

Crawford and Tank are in the same class imo. Tank P4P would beat that Spence that Crawford fought.

 

Name a fighter Crawford faced as skilled as Davis or Ennis?

 

Don't have to imagine P4p... just imagine current Tank vs Crawford from a few years ago.

Crawford wins, but there might be a scare or two cause of the shocking power.

 

Tank is too small. If both were naturally in the same weight class, I have a feeling that Crawford's chin wouldn't hold up.
