I fukk w Tank as much as anyone but this Barrios being nice all of a sudden shyt im seeing :comeon: he was tough and did a lot better than expected. That's about it.

shyt I've been this saying about Barrios

This is why @ChocolateGiddyUp avoided me why I tagged him about it. He knew what was coming but he wont concede cuz he stanning Tank hard:pachaha:

There are legit dangerous cats walking around 140. Barrios is not one of them.

I was posting in the general sports section and nikkas told me Barrios top 3 and better than Loma's opp last night. I was like :hubie: im going back to the ring ya can have it.

Loma's guy was way more dangerous of an opponent and Loma had a way easier time. Doesn't mean Loma beats Tank but it is what it is, I could honestly see all the top guys talking Ls to each other at the weight though. I could see a rock, paper, scissors, uppercut scenario with all of them.

Barrios and Nakatani are the same level of fighter bro.

Real shyt.
In a perfect world we'd get all the fights w want and I don't want to see any boxer restricted to their stable. But when people are blah say about what others do but want to criticize pbc associates, I just can't respect it. Pbc is just doing what they learned from top rank
what I can't respect , is all this finger pointing PBC stans do to TR

"well if TR did it , we can too" :sadbron:
"Top Rank was in-house when PBC first started , PBC just doing what they learned from TR"

its a new generation , new talent , new scouts , new prospects and new fans ..
but yall wanna defend the same archaic matchmaking because "the white guys did it first years ago" (:mjpls:)

its 2021 we tryna see the best fight the best .

all the excuses , "well TR did it , PBC can too" "My side vs your side" .. that way of thinking has been destructive for matchmaking , and frankly the excuses are played out.

I wanna see everyone succeed if they wanna achieve legacy and greatness .

the whole fake belt "well my guy sold more PPV than your guy so we gonna freeze him out for 5+ years" that shyt is wack from a casual semi-hardcore fan perspective


..... just my 2 cents; this is coming from someone who enjoys both PBC, Top Rank, GoldenBoy, and DAZN cards . heck I can even appreciate what Triller doing with Snoop and ODLH commentary


p.s. and before anyone deflects to Teo fighting mandatory and Loma in-house ; atleast Teo-Loma is an elite level fight;
as many have pointed out Tank has yet to fight a true elite-level fighter .. so when he goes 11 rounds with Mario Barrios we gotta pretend Barrios is somehow on Josh Taylor level because the Coli refuses to keep that same energy for PBC fighters

All I know is that it's a good thing UFC does it have a prime Rousey, McGregor, Silva or even GSP at the moment.

Those guys all have to fight each other for pennies. These guys get significantly more than their MMA counterparts and still find a way to avoid each other.

People used to blame Don King but it's different players playing the same game. These guys need to understand they are young once, get the BIGGEST fights in your prime, invest well and find something to do ONCE, not WHEN, it all ends.

Not everyone will be Floyd at 50-0, have super mega fights and/or be a successful promoter. Floyd, Pacquiao, DLH, Bop, are the exceptions not the rule. For other boxers this is a sad movie that's replayed decade after decade for more than a century.

lol I usually get negged when I say things going against the PBC grain

much appreciated

i do that all the time lol

the big difference ive gone to a good amount of PBC cards as well DAZN and Top Rank cards..makes it very hard for ppl to use a bias argument against me when i criticize something

Everything I said made perfect sense especially within the context of how I said it.
The fact that you quoted my post and still ignored me saying that I don't want anyone restricted to their stable when choosing opponents, shows you're full of shyt. I can't knock pbc for playing hardball with people whom do the same with them. In 2021 if arum had Manny, Thurman, Spence, porter, broner, d. Garcia, etc etc. We know he'd keep it inside.
