    I’m tempted to say Azumah Nelson…that’s probably the closest I can think of

    Davis reminded me tonight of none other than Smoking Joe Frazier, that punch to the body was brutal.

    None really. Midget, southpaw, backfoot , counter puncher. Ya not a lot of those around.

    honestly it’s a little early for me to be comparing him to older fighters when really he’s got a pretty thin record and is really just getting into his prime as a fighter.

    A counterpunching southpaw, with decent power hmm, maybe Michael Nunn? Obviously the size difference makes any actual resemblance between them difficult to see.

    Young Zab Judah from technical stand-point, a little bit - but Tank's package is quite unique.
