Atp the only way Tank and his team gonna take these fights with the top guys is if social media ridicule pressures them into it so just keep it up.

Tank's only got struggle answers like why does he need a belt, how Haney wears similar jewelry or how he gets paid more... so pretty much talks about anything but real boxing achievements.

Should have gone free agent and make his fortune without Floyd and Ellerbe pulling him down with their protective matchmaking but he didn't so I guess he co-signs it.

Don't tell me about money either, let's be honest, he would make the most money as a free agent against the best guys out there, he's a big name, not like he'd be locked out from anywhere or like he would have to take deals like what Haney had to take. Networks would compete with each other for his fights. Worst case scenarion he takes 2-3 fights deals like Canelo with opponents of his choice.

Went with protecting the 0 instead, a marketing ploy that only worked for Floyd and it's near impossible to replicate. He's not fighting top guys like Floyd did and if he would that 0 would likely go at a point because he isn't as good as Floyd was. But does it even matter? Lots of financially successful fighters out there without a "0", the undefeated record is overrated.

It's a shame how Tank and everybody don't want to end the criticism and at least make a go for Haney....it's crazy..Ryan, Teo, Cruz, Loma don't want any smoke with this kid....damn..Benavidez can at least do talks with Andrade...loll

Donald Curry vs Errol Spence at 147. Who you think would win

My first instinct is Spence but it's an very dangerous fight for him. The Lone Star Cobra had real punching power in both hands & was a precise counter puncher. There's no doubt in my mind he could hurt or stop him but Spence is a dog

I'm actually inclined to agree with Mikey. Stylistically Haney is a bad matchup for Loma, Haney can use his feet too and can get his angles as well not to mention he has the reach and size advantage, and Haney has a better jab. It was always very obvious to me(outside of making sure he had an in house fight to keep all the money on) why Arum and Loma petitioned for the franchise belt when Haney became mando: that's not a fight Loma is going to win... don't even think it would be that close honestly.

Gotta agree with Mikey here.

Devin too big, too quick, too sharp. Its a match made in hell for him honestly. He knows it too.

Loma eats against smaller opponents and slower/less mobile guys. Dev is neither. I don't see him gaining any type of momentum at any point.

Loma vs Tank is closer matchup wise imo
