    Tank lets it be known he will not only fight for Barrios title at 140 but afterwards will carry on fighting at 140 pounds and should he beat Barrios will be looking to fight the winner of Josh Taylor vs Jose Ramirez.

    With Teofimo Lopez and Devin Haney bound to move up to 140 pounds sooner or later the possibilities are endless:

    I have a sneaky feeling Barrios bashes him up.

    Good. Seems like the more natural weight for him.

    There should be a lot of good fights to be made at 140.

    Dumb move! So many great fights to be had at 135 than 140 not to mention he can make more money at 135 than 140. I think he's fat and lazy and doesn't want to put in the work to make 135. He will lose at 140 at some point those guys will take his power there, he will be tiny there.

    It’s a proper contest with 2 undefeated world champions going at it.

    Hold on?

    How can Ramirez vs Taylor be for 140 Undisputed is Barrios is champ?

    Is this another regular / silver belt crap?

    Tank has done nothing at 135 so why leapfrog that division when the money fights are at LW ?? Not only will he be missing out on bigger paydays but Tank has more chance of beating the top guys at 135 than 140. Bad decision.

    Seems to be following the steps of Adrien Broner, and will probably start losing like Broner if he wants to take on the big boys at 140 and eventually 147.

    His laziness will come back to haunt him. He seems to have learned nothing from PBF about dedication and training but instead learned more from his boy Broner. SMH

    Loma is moving up to 140 shortly as is Haney hence Tank stealing a March on his rivals and wants to take the winner of Taylor vs Ramirez. He was going to fight Ryan Crybaby Garcia at 135 pounds but we know how Garcia the punk punked out.

    Hope he doesn't go down as another 'what if' type of talent

    If Loma and Haney are moving up too then it all makes much more sense
