    Of course you don't get the hype. Stop listening to these old guys in boxing media trying to tell you what's cool. Boxing fans do not realize how out of touch they are with the mainstream. Almost a year ago I started hearing people who aren't boxing fans talking about Tank. That's why I've been trying to talk you all this kid is a star. But keep listening to these old guys.
    Im not saying he cant be a star, but to be one he needs fights. Theres no way he beats someone that doesnt just stand in front of him. It doesnt matter, Tank already said Mayweather was trying to sabotage him with stiff competition. Then he said Loma was to much for him at that point.
    I mean how can you be a star when you say chit like this? Play savage or be a savage. He needs to make up his mind and take some big fights.

    When you say your promoter is trying to get you beat it has nothing to do with other guys being offered money. Its about ducking and it came straight from his mouth,

And none of them are generating the buzz or money that Tank is. You got a guy who can go into Atlanta, not a boxing market, and sell tickets priced higher than NY and LA. He has his pick of who he wants to fight. And whomever in line that wants to accept his terms will get the fight. Same as Canelo
      This sounds like Wilder and AJ argument hmm.

          To deny his draw would be nonsensical. But to consider him a star on the level of Canelo is almost as bad.

          I mean, have you considered these actions from another viewpoint? Maybe Haney, Garcia, Lomachenko, etc, just want to beat his ass because Davis is a belt holder? Some fighters still do want to get in the ring to prove that they are the best, not claim that status vicariously via bling and fast cars.

          Also, that "on his terms" power play can be associated with a fighter whose team feels he needs shielding from threatening opponents.

          Really, the only actions that would prove to me that Davis is a star is for the guy himself to fight other top dogs. So long as he continues fighting scrubs for his voluntaries while being coddled by TMT, he'll remain a spectacle, i.e. Broner 2.0, not a true star.

              Before Tank moved up to 135 Lomachenko plan was to go back down to 130 and fight Berchelt or whatever champ Top Rank has down there. That's why he asked for the franchise tag. At the Lopez fight when they asked him who he wanted to fight after his fight with Lopez he called out Tank. So now he wants to stay at 135.

              Ryan Garcia said a fight with Haney could happen in 2021. But he's calling out Tank right now.

              Haney said after he's healed he's coming back for his WBC belt. But he just called out Tank next.

              They actually has something else in common in my opinion. Both are overrated and not as good as many claim they are. I had Tank rated much higher and expected him to crush 38 year old washed up Gamboa in 3 rounds tops. He needed all 12 rounds to finish him off and his punch output was pathetic. I don't think he is much of a threat to Loma at 130 or 135. I rated him better than Haney or Lopez but now I think they both beat him unless he can do much better than he did last night.

                The way TMT is managing tank is very similar to a young canelo as well. Canelo did test himself more. But they’re bringing him along with names passed their best and expect and hope for him to peak at about 27. Then they’ll fight a real name.

                  The difference is they call out Canelo to cash that paycheck, they call out Tank because they know they can beat his fat lazy ass.

                      Everybody and their mama wants to fight Canelo for the money.

                      Everybody and their mama wants to fight Davis because he’s beatable.

                      Lmao, there’s nothing similar about Canelo and Davis. Whatever helps you sleep at night though, lmao.
