It will make them pay to see Devin get knocked out and if he wins, want to see him get knocked out in the future.

He’s seems like a good dude, but someone has to be hated. Floyd built a nice career off of that.
Im with Fannon, Haney needs to prove his weight and get popping and him beating Shakur would do that.

This is silly. Somebody else tried to say the same thing very early in this thread. Having the belts and being champion directly effects most fighters livelihoods. This Davis/Garcia fight is an anomaly.

It just so happens that Garcia is a household name.

When it's all said and done both guys will have to start fighting top guys in their division, there's no way around it.
We are talking about Tank, the anomaly, so stay on topic. The belts don’t matter to Tank.

imo Haney staying at 135 cause he knows his power aint shyt at 140 so might as well try to get a Tank payday. If Haney loses to tank he has the Ryan excuse "I been killing myself at 135" that he has been using for a while.

Shakur vs Haney doesn't make any real money, thats why I feel Shakur should try to get a Frank Martin fight and then winner of that fights Tank after Tank fights Haney (because win or lose Haney imo would move up to 140).

Tank wouldn't be where he is today without floyd, even with all da knockouts. Floyd promoted the fukk out of him, give him looks on big times ppv's and helped him get out of his shell.

They parted at the perfect time cause Tank no longet needs him, but you can tell he appreciates everything floyd did for him, and you can tell floyd still has love for him. Im sure tank hit him up some time during the weekend and asked him to do his pre fight pep talk lol.

Floyd makes himself the center of attention at times, but its still attention. Devin haney would be way popular under floyd
Floyd's father loves Haney...he got no problem saying he'll beat Tank..

You’re right, Martin would be a good test for Shakur. But I don’t think Davis deserves Haney unless he can get through either Martin or Shakur.

Martin telegraphs that left hook like a mug and he gets into trouble when he deviates from his game plan. His power gets him out of dangerous situations, but I think Shakur’s accuracy, discipline, and evasiveness would expose him.



It’s a no brainer, but I wonder if Tank’s team will think it makes sense.

This would be a dangerous fight for both imo. Shakur doesn’t have the holes Tank’s previous competition had. Conversely, Shakur probably hasn’t faced anyone with the type of power Tank possesses, unless he gets Martin.


This is some twilight zone shyt :what:

My casual take is if you a so called “too big” for ya weight class you should be KO’ing or giving folks Errol Spence type beat downs in them early weights until you hit your peak weightclass and then thats when you get into your pure boxing defensive guru bag.

Devin is doing this now and he supposed to max out at 147/154!?!?!? Lmfaooo

I was high on Devin until i saw how insecure he was anout his power. I still respect his discipline but when I saw Shakur turn it up after folks was about to call him pillow fisted thst showed me Shakur is a diff level from Devin.

Watched the press conference. The fact Ryan's team (including maybe his trainer) was clapping when Tank said "Ryan was a good fighter" shows me if Ryan wants to go to the next level as a fighter, that team needs to stop coddling.
