I’m happy for Roach who’s a good guy. But Tank just dropped out of my top ten. He isn’t even pretending to negotiate with top contenders. The Ring should drop him too.
The lightweight division desperately needs Turki to commit some money to unification. If Shakur fights Zepeda, as rumored, we will have an opponent for Tank. Then Turki will need to pony up. However, I think he would beat Shakur and Zepeda.
Tank presents a conundrum to boxing fans. We know he's good, but is he great? I don't think we will ever see Tank in a 50-50 fight. The Pedraza fight, at the time, as I remember, was close to 50-50. He was favored against Garcia. Who's left? Teo or Boots would be the first true 50-50 fight for Tank. We'll never see either of those, sadly. Tank is destined to have a question mark after his name.
Say whatever you want about the WBA but they did nothing wrong in this instance. It is normal acceptable for a titleholder in one division to be allowed to challenge a champion in another division. All the organizations usually allow that.
Yes, i know its normally acceptable for champs from different divisions to fight each other especially when we have say an exceptionally gifted or big punching smaller champion stepping up to fight a bigger man but in this case the gifted big punching fighter is the boxer in the heavier division. There are plenty of far better fighters in Tanks own division to fight but instead he's fighting a naturally smaller man whose nowhere near being the best in that lower weight division and frankly who even gives Roach a chance of beating Tank, i certainly don't. I foresee an easy night for tank that likely ends early. Thanks for your comment and also a sincere thank you for your many years of covering our sport and covering it so very well.
Are you sure this is going to be on Amazon Prime? Seems better suited for the Who-Gives-a-Shit Channel.
Davis keeps fighting nobodys

In fairness, Loma named out. This is like plan E (Loma, Shakur, Pitbull, Valenzuela)

David Benavidez vs Jesse Hart on the undercard?
The WBA corrupt as ever.

That has zero to do with the WBA was the point.
Fair enough.
"after the respective analysis and based on the internal rules of the organization"
HAHAHA! The WBA is pretending they have rules. Classic.
Tank feasting on JLW’s 🤷♂️
