Not passing the smell test.

Let me guess, Jojo Diaz is better than Tank?

Tank is not going to land anything flush all night but lesser fighters have.

Gotcha.​

Styles make fights… punchers like Tank struggle with boxers. His footwork won’t be enough to cut off the ring.

Haney has defensive liabilities himself but he’s gonna box Tank up from range and fight more risk averse than against a guy like Jojo. Tank would have his moments of success but let’s not act like he’s ending these fights with the first flush shot he lands. Garcia took several of them before retiring in his corner.

Haney and Shakur would keep him at bay for most part, leave him only small windows of success. Imo they could limit his offense enough to win on the cards.

Yall really drinking the koolaid after those Kambosos fights. Tank won’t respect Haney’s (lack of) power and there will be a stoppage. Linares had him buckled at the end of the 10th/most of the 11th. What you think happens when Tank touches him up??

Don’t get mad now, it’s just fantasy fight opinions.

If he would be lacking power so bad dudes would just walk to him with their hands down not caring about the consequences but that’s not what we see.

He has a stinging jab, enough to make them think twice before doing something silly.

If u think Tank would one-shot KO him or something fair enough but I’m gonna disagree.

Haney will have to get creative because Tank will slip those jabs and counter. Tank will apply pressure too and have him and Shakur fighting off the back foot. They talk like Haney put on masterclasses of boxing 101.

Then folks got the nerve to shyt on Haney who fights better comp and is on awhile nother different level... Like Tank and Haney can’t even be compared, Tank is still a prospect on the rise while Haney is the undisputed champ at 135 and scheduled to fight Loma very soon. It’s levels.

Haney is the undisputed king at the weight class Tank is at. He fought beat the man who beat the man. He only had one goal and that is to to be undisputed. Haney going to Australia twice (taking short money the first time) and beating Kambo> Tank career.

If you are a real follower of boxing you should know that a lot of politics are involved with getting opponents. Haney 2 years ago was trying to fight Loma while Tank was thinking he was getting sabotaged when Floyd said he should fight Loma.

Like I said different levels. One is chasing greatness and one is in the same lane is Ryan Garcia.

man all i know is i hope speedy can run that back. still a disappointing loss after leaving GB too
I rewatched the thing and I feel like Villa is a bad match up. Ellis seemed to be in dire need of moving to not get caught by Villa's power so he spent too much energy too early.

Not sure things can go better for him if he slows it down in a rematch as he would get touched earlier.

I come in here and the same arguments are repeated again and again.

Spence and Crawford.
The five "kings" (we're finally getting a fight)
Andrade underwhelming.

I had to check the dates of the posts.

Even you came and didn’t say shyt new. Talk about something else then, the whole boxing game as a whole is stale and recycled so :camby:
