Essential The Official Boxing Random Thoughts Thread...All boxing heads ENTER.

I’m a huge Tank fan but after hearing his team wanting Cruz next I’m kinda off of him on that level. Lowkey Calvin been sounding kind of suspect with the excuses too, he’s using talking that would’ve worked years ago but we’re here now.



With that being said Tank is only 5’3 it’s only so much he was going to fill out. Hes on notice until he steps it up but one thing he shouldn’t be criticized for is not stepping in the ring with someone who comes in at 165lbs, that would be stupid.

What is this? Tank said he was knocking out Haney and Shakur before the end of 2023. He keeps fighting mid tier guys and now they got him on the p4p list for that? Lol. Nah...that's fake..Canelo type shyt.

Everyone said Haney's chin is suspect? What happened? Lol.

People finally coming around to Gervonta “Ponzi” Davis

Beautiful to see

It's not Ponzi..he just not doing nothing. Fight SOMEBODY..Shakur, Haney, Teo, Caterall...damn.

Fulton saying he not a 120lb fighter anymore, he may be done

surprising, dude doesn't look that big to where 126 would be tough for him. if it was that tough for 122 then he might look even sharper and a stronger puncher at 130

Breh Regis landed like thirty punches and got soundly outboxed. I dont think is an example of weight bullying at all

I know right
Friendliest weight bully performance I ever saw.

Haney could have fought like prime Hurd if he wanted to and stopped Regis, but he just gave him an old school shellacking instead.

Ok

Yea for someone reason I get the feeling that you think and others think I’m defending Tank. So let me repost what you quoted and just focus on the bolded


“ I’m a huge Tank fan but after hearing his team wanting Cruz next I’m kinda off of him on that level. Lowkey Calvin been sounding kind of suspect with the excuses too, he’s using talking that would’ve worked years ago but we’re here now.

And if the issue with what I said is about the weight then that’s dumb because him fighting anybody coming in the ring at 165lb wouldn’t be smart.

..oscar should be more candid and say the sturm fight he should have lost..and the quartey fight

Dont forget Sweet Pea

This was an in unintended consequence of them changing from a same day weigh-in until the day before.

Some fights have a weigh in later in the day while some have one early in the morning.

That said, just because they've done it forever doesn't make it right.

Fighters are taking advantage of it and it's pretty clear some guys have weaponized it.

You can be feather fisted and still a weight bully when someone's punches don't impact you because you outweigh them by 20-25 pounds on fight night.

I'm not trying to hear none of these nikkas crying about someone being a weight bully because the moment a fighter tries to implement a rehydration clause to make it fair these same nikkas pussies start bleeding

 

[patscorpio]

Dont forget Sweet Pea

of course..oscar really carried the sport on his back esp when the heavyweight division fell from grace...oscar is a whole degenerate these days but he was a bad mfr too...both things can be true lol

 

[patscorpio]

they are def letting tank have it on twitter



the whole thread on this twitter post is comedy lol

Before the fight the Haneys were willing to go back down to 135 and now they have ruled it out, which is understandable since its hard for Devin to make that weight. I think they are Hyped from selling 16k seats and thats why they talking their shyt, but Tank is still the A-side..... Why on earth would Tank move up to 140 to give Devin more of an advantage, when Devin already has reach and height advantage? Now Bill is talking about no rehydration and no catchweight too ...If the Haney's want the Tank fight they gotta fall under his demands not the other way round...thats just the reality of it


Tank is also feeling the pressure right now, which is good because it sounds like they were trying to make the Cruz fight again, which nobody wants. Tank need to get a noteworthy fighter for his next one.
