    because of his short height? what's the highest class you think he can be effective in?

    135 lbs......although 130 would be ideal. He's too tiny for even 140, Josh Taylor would tower over him.

    135. Barrios sucks and was picked at 140 for a reason. Tank gets pummeled by the Ramirez, Zepeda, Taylor, Prograis, Catteral, etc.

    The weight he's at. Honestly I've been very vocal that he shouldn't even be at 135. there's no reason for him to not be a 130 fighter. I cringed at him at 140. Tank is really a small fighter/he's a small guy.

    That's why I laugh at the weight bully **** about him.

    He could compete at 140 and beat a reasonable amount of men but he would not reach the highest levels at junior welterweight.

    Like Broner he can get titles at 140 and 147 down the line based on who his opponent may be. Trust there will be a weak enough titleholder at 40 and 47 that they’ll target.

    For best chances, Tank should stick to weight bullying smaller guys. Getting outboxed by Cruz and Romero is honestyl ridiculous.

    If he fights good boxers his own size there's no doubt about it, he loses.

    I can see what PBC are trying to do with Tank make out as if he is some mini Mike Tyson. The only thing is Tyson fought and beat guys that dwarfed him in height and reach and size..and Tank is getting outboxed by smaller guys lmao

    Heavyweight if he fought AJ.

    He could shatter that glass chin but doubt AJ would take the challenge as students seem to be AJ's level these days.

    140 is the highest he can go but he really doesn't belong there.

    140 and even there, fringe contender. Light snack for Rougarou.

    He looks ill on the scales at 135 let alone at 130 and not only had his missed weight the first or second time of asking a bunch of times and had to strip butt naked a bunch of times in order to make weight and not lose his title on the scales, he actually did lose one of his world titles due to not making weight and he came awfully close to losing one of his other ones once too. He's short, thick-set and powerful with a big old bowling ball head not long and lean.

    How many times we seen Loma look ill on the scales even down at 126?

    How many times has he missed weight the first, second, or third time of asking?

    How many times we seen him have to strip butt naked in order to make weight?

    How many titles has he lost on the scales?

    We've never seen any of this with him and Twink weighs a whole weight class more than him and has a 2'' reach advantage over him
