tank davis age 24

[THC]

i dont care how many boxes he ticks, the most important one that's NOT ticked is the one vs quality opponents. THEE MOST IMPORTANT one. Dont give me "he's young doe" or "he's still a prospect"....

The lil mufu.cka has a belt. And with ALL THOSE BOXES TICKED, he shouldve fought the who's who at the weight class that he held the belt in.

You on it. I don't care how much he's made at what age. Or if he's been given a key to Baltimore. I just want him to step up and fight the best out there. I want him to tweet, "Loma next, 130 or 136".

I knew GGG would work his way into my boy Curt's post somehow lol...I think he mentions him more than me lol...Curt is a good sport though...don't always agree with him but he is a good sport

Curt has a lot of good points and facts. I really never thought much about all his accomplishments in this way.

Despite his age, though, Davis is a boxing vet, who is more at the end of his career than beginning. He needs to clean out the 135 division ASAP. Time is now.

I see a young, fierce lion who's being held back by Floyd, so he wouldn't supersede him. I don't have a single doubt that Davis can beat all the lightweights, including Loma, some quick and easy. I don't even count Commey, Crolla, or Campbell, or anyone that caliber. Commey wouldn't last more than 3 rounds with Davis.

I think Floyd is a mad, egomaniac narcissist, who gives zero shit about his best boxer/fighter. It's all about Floyd. Fuck off, Floyd.

-sold out in his hometown
-headlined several shows on showtime(a premiere boxing network)
-provided main support a ppv that did over 2 million buys
-is making per fight, in the ballpark, the same as the #1 p4p guy in the sport
- is a world champ(yes im aware his resume isnt great and there are too many belts and being a "champ" is watered down today)

how many guys in the sport can tick off even one of those boxes at 24?

what were bud and spence doing at 24? were they making davis money? were they selling out? were they headlining showtime and hbo cards? loma was still fighting kids in headgear.....

stop hating on the guy...hes ahead in the business aspect of the game...ahead of alot of guys....but i get it...business doesnt matter if its a black guy or guy you dont like or a guy with the pbc

but if golovkin is ducking ward to wait another year and half to fight canelo "cause duh its smart business" its ok.....some of you are so deluded and twisted with hate its sickening......

hes 24 and has a ton of time to build a real resume....yall celebrated a guy that took his first meaningful fight at age 34 lol

Tank is a great young fighter. No doubt about it. But why don't you stop there. You make a statement about stop hating on the guy and then once again attack GGG like some kind of hate monster. I think you only brought up Tank as an excuse to heap some more hate on GGG. You are the guy who seems to hate fighters who aren't black. You are the guy who is so deluded and twisted with hate it's sickening. You tell the same hateful lies about GGG damn near every day. GGG never ducked Ward. Ward never even made him an offer to fight and they are in different weight classes. Why is it your job to make everybody on this forum hate GGG? Can't people decide for themselves what the think about him???? If you hate him then just don't watch him. Ring ****zine that is owned by De La Hoya had GGG the number 1 pound for pound boxer in the world in 2018 and that included Andre Ward. I guess Oscar must have thought GGG had some meaningful fights to rank him as the best fighter in the world. He got 45 million for the 2nd Canelo fight so somebody must like him. DAZN gave him 100 million for 6 fights so the must like him. He defended the middleweight title successfully a record tying 20 times and KOed 22 guys in a row. It doesn't make a damn how much you hate him because he still goes to the hall of fame on the first ballot and a hell of a lot of viewers think he beat Canelo twice. The hate you heap on this man endlessly is unbelievable. Yet you have the nerve tell others to stop hating on Tank because it's sickening. Practice what you preach hater.

Couldn't agree more,the loma/ggg fans must not be capable of using simple reasoning & logic or they'd see how hypocritically re_tar..ted they are when they trash younger fighters with much better resumes than those 2 at that age who were still fighting kids as grown men. That being said the kid does look like a fat lesbian doe,& he is too old to be ducking one way or the other,but I do agree completely that fans of those 2 should keep their traps shut

I am a big fan of GGG, Loma and TANK! I like lots of great boxers, young or old, black or white.

I don't know if you recall..but I have always rated Tank pretty highly...and have pretty much had him near my top 10 pfp since Pedraza...I also recently learned he was a very accomplished amateur...which makes sense, since most fighters that I usually like are great ams/and most of the best fighters in the world now were great ams.

I have a feeling that if he faced Loma he may get the Russell Walters or Rigo treatment...just hard to say until they face off...and by that I mean I need to see them side by side to see size wise how they stack up...I think Loma would use his experience still to beat Tank if they are roughly the same size, and in beating him he may dismantle him mentally which could derail Tank's career.

Tank could be ready for Loma as you feel he is though...if he has any type of size edge on Loma, Loma has looked pedestrian imo against similar skill guys to Tank, so maybe Tank can pull it off...maybe he can hang with Loma anyway even if they are the same size.

I think Floyd is just trying to protect his investment with Tank though and knows that right now Loma is a very risky fight for him...I think Tank at 24 has a few impressive wins already though so yeah I like him...I will be honest though I don't really follow the little guys much so idk how good some of those KO wins are.

But I do follow expectations going into fights, and Tank seems to exceed expectations every time out...and then some people call Pedraza and Cueller etc bums or complete bums and that isn't the case from what I can tell.

Good post. I agree. Green K.

You were recognizing his achievements, why get so personal at the end, with the bolded? The way you look is God-given, it's called creation. No need to go there. Respect, bro.

If you like his boxing, that's all that should matter. If not, don't watch him. Backhanded compliments aren't ever cool.

Curt imho the reason why Gervonta gets a lot of sh.it is mainly because you can't do two things in fight sports simultaneously...1) you can't pound your chest and call yourself the man...and then 2) be carefully managed/avoid the other top fighters around your weight class.

I don't follow the little guys too much, but imo it is obvious that Tank is a victim of combining those two things...I really like him as a fighter, but because he is still fairly young, he is still being managed pretty carefully, I think most people, fan or foe, would agree with that.

Anyone reasonable would list Tank as a top fighter at whatever division he is in...no one was listing Spence TC or GGG as a top fighter when they were 24...they were still building their resumes up and trying to make a name for themselves...Tank has been pro for 6 years, and has been getting some buzz for a couple years now...which is about the same amount of time GGG TC and Spence were all pro before they started getting buzz...Spence about 3 years in...GGG about 5...TC about 4.

The main difference imo for Tank with respect to those 3 guys, is that those 3 guys were all the 'boogeyman' once they started to get some buzz...they were the guy in and around their division that no one else really wanted to face...unfortunately for Tank, Loma is that guy around his division...and from a neutral outside perspective it looks like he is being carefully managed to avoid the Loma fight, and possibly other tough fights.

Again..for Tank...you can't beat your chest and say you're the best, if you also are being carefully managed....people will see that and kill you for it.

I would also add that GGG had a lot of significant fights going in before 34...until after the fight where he dominated them and KOed them...then they become bums....Lemieux Murray Geale...hell even Macklin Stevens Proksa and Ouma were 'tests' for him going in...I remember the sentiments of fans going into those fights...the betting lines may have been wide, but a lot of people have been expecting GGG to take a loss or get 'exposed' for a long long time and for a lot of fights...and truth be told I have not really ever seen it happen.

[boliodogs]

Is it really fair to compare the pro ring record of a great fighter like Tank at age 24 when he turned pro at age 19 to the pro ring record of great fighters like GGG and Loma who did not turn pro until their mid or late 20s? Hell they were not even pro boxers at age 24 so how can they match Tank's pro record at age 24? Tank had a hell of a head start.

[lopetego]

Tank is a Broner in waiting

Loma will be his Maidana, if he ever grows a pair to take the match
