Even though I don't think Tank is fighting top tier competition and it's bad for the fans and the sport as a whole, I really don't like the idea of guys not fighting in their natural weight classes. I would love if there was same day weigh ins or mandatory rehydration clauses on every single fight. Haney could legitmately fight at 154 and yet he spent most of his career fighting smaller guys at 135 because they have allow guys to weigh in 30 hours before the fight and rehydrate. That's corny to me.

Why doesn't Devin Haney fight Boots, Spence or Terence Crawford? Haney is literally bigger than Crawford. Since he wants to make the big fights happen......go ahead and fight him. shyt go ahead and fight Jermell Charlo since he's walking around 165.

Why should Tank have to fight a guy who's coming into the ring at 165 pounds?

this is a BAD look for tank frfr


That fight is not happening. I do think the Haney’s are trying to make one last effort, because once Devin is at 147, that completely shuts the door.

However, Devin looked significantly bigger and better at a more appropriate weight class. It just no longer makes sense for Tank.

If they can’t land a big fight like Tank, they’ll just jump to 147 IMO. Fights like Ryan and Teo will always be there.

Tank should just be quiet and focus on making fights with Loma and Shakur.

Both might as well move on.


Tank and Devin not fight each other without a rehydration clause
