Tank Davis comes in heavy at weigh-in

[daggum]

Did Machado and Berchelt beat anyone close to Pedraza? What are their best wins?

I'll wait.

waa? yes berchelt beat the #2 and #3 ranked fighters. machado bea thet #4 ranked fighter who had just beaten the #1 guy so he was probably underanked. tank beat the #6 guy pedraza who shouldn't even have been ranked that high because he got a gift against edner cherry.

Not even close when Davis is deemed the best at 130 by almost all, except maybe you, daggum, dramashow, and a few corrupt orgs.

I’m intrigued to see who “most” are. ESPN has him at #3, Ring has him at #2, Transitional Boxing Rankings has him #3 (with the exact order I have), so who is this “almost all”?

[BoxingIsGreat]

who is almost everyone? you must live in a tank davis bubble. literally no one has him #1. not espn, not ring, not transnational rankings. can you explain why davis would be ranked above guys who have better resumes?

What resume? Who did they beat?
Why is Spence considered the best at 147?

Are those better than C+ Pedraza? The guy Loma hardly solved?

Don’t you have like Spence at #2 or 3 pound for pound and now you are bashing his resume (which is also weak). So let me get this straight. You are a resume guy when you dislike a guy and have a bias and higher standard for what’s acceptable (ie Pedraza is great for Tank but it’s a bum for Loma) but then conveniently aren’t a resume guy or big up smaller crap fighters like 2 years rusty moving up Cuellar when it’s a guy you like?

yes they are better. beating the #2 guy is better than beating the #6 guy. do you not agree?

spence beat the #1 guy at 147. tank beat the #6 guy at 130. do you see the difference?

[daggum]

why would tank be ranked above them? not sure fighting a lot of small bums should enable you to pass them up but hype gives you lots of advantages in boxing.

Give us the names of the legendary Tank’s resume.

Berchelt has beaten Vargas, Roman, Miura and Barros. I’d say Pedraza is perhaps a little better than each individually but that’s depth and multiple opponents. Tank is living off a win vs. an opponent you rate as C+.

Machado beat Corrales who after Loma was clearly the best of the rest in the division. He doesn’t have much else but Corrales at 130 is definately better and more accomplished than Pedraza.
