    See you'd really expect the winner of that fight to be unifying and fighting the best from that moment on, and 7 years later here we are

    Or rather... "Here we still are" - waiting, as far away as ever.

    What a waste - maybe.

    Or maybe there's a good reason to not try?

    Tank has fought and has beat the best. his destruction of Ryan Garcia who conquered Devin Haney is testimony to that. Perhaps we now know why Haney did not want to get in there with Tank. Once Tank beats guys then they are nobodies or not that good or over the hill.

    Only the most hardcore Tank fans believe that and you know it... Just like the hardcore Wilder fans did.

    Everyone else believes he's ducking to preserve his zero.

    The odds of nobody wanting to fight are always very, very, very slim - heading towards zero the bigger a payday the favourite represents.

    Have you noticed Loma and Shakur not so keen anymore. I will tell you something Frank Martin is a tougher challenge than the name clowns.

    Washington and Ortiz were better wins than euro level old Wlad and Povetkin :elefant::elefant::elefant:

    Sometimes bias makes people desperate to believe ludicrous things.

    To each their own, I suppose.

    Ruined a perfect career? Pedraza was never anything special .. he'd barely beat Edner Cherry then & was busting at the seams.. what was so perfect about it? Hed won a vacant title, defended it twice against resume fillers & then lost it to Davis.. so what? You want us to call him an ATG now? Or King of the children weight divisions? LOL.. He's a cherry picking rent boy who never challenges himself .. Usyk, Canelo, Loma, Inoue.. these guys are boxing.. not that little mess

    That's not the case at all, Tank never beats guys rated as the best in their division.

    His resume has aged really well so it's the opposite of what you claim.

    But he hasn't ever fought the best fighter in any division.

    2017 is probably the best year of Tanks career - Pedraza, Walsh and Fonseca was a solid little run, none of them are world beaters but that ain't a bad year at all

    He's never fought the next best neither.

    He's never fought the top two fighters in LWW, LW, SFW.
