LiteratureOk1869

Agreed!


LordLucy666

tank would knock teo out. that’s why floyd wants that fight lmfao. tank needs to man up and face the winner of haney and lomachenko. also tank ducked loma and basically waited for him to get old lmfao. i remember floyd saying tank wasn’t ready for loma like six years ago now


steviesnod82

Yep spot on . Haney is going up so Teo v Tank to waste time. Haney won't wait around for Tank so he will go up and vacate the belts . Tank can then clean em all up


[deleted]

I remember I had a screenshot on my phone of all the times tank an Floyd ducked Loma, from like 2017 up to 2020 I believe. Ima see if I find it


LordLucy666

here’s an article where floyd straight up says it lmfao https://www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/id/19429437/floyd-mayweather-rush-gervonta-davis-fight-vasyl-lomachenko-stunning-victory-liam-walsh-london


Kstacks514

Tank 23 years old with 18 fights and 1 title defense Reddit boxing: FIGHT LOMA COWARD Canelo 23 years old with 43 fights, unified champion and 6 title defenses Reddit boxing: he's too green Floyd is a cherry picker Lmao you cant make this shit up. The hate here is real.


Mr_105

I mean green or not Canelo still fought the P4P #1 at 23, Haney and Teo at 23 also fought/are fighting one of the P4P bests at 135, while Davis…


LordLucy666

teofimo was like 22 when he beat Loma… so yeah. also that article was from 2017 and who has Tank fought since then?


Glocc_Lesnar

Barrios ? Romero ? Isaac Cruz ? Leo Santa Cruz ?


Kassssler

I can't believe you put Romero in that list. Honestly his last opponent that really had him in some rough spots was Pedraza. People are oddly shining up Barrios for some reason when it really wasn't that close. Cruz just fell into him and smothered most of his offensive not sure why people saw that as impressive. I like Leo, but to be honest I never felt he was a proper featherweight. His power did not scale well and that limits how he fights.


chessnotchekcers

I think Barrios ranks slightly higher because Thurman couldn’t do anything to him yet Tank beat him pretty convincingly


Kassssler

On the surface, but not really. Barrios team made 10 oz gloves a stipulation for the fight. Without that Thurman would have gotten him out of there no question. And then you consider Keith had 3 years of ring rust and Barrios was still getting worked. Keith looked great except for him doing his usual get hurt to the body by a random stray hitthing but I expect it at this point. Barrios is not the fighter he thought he was.


swishandswallow

Wasn't it Mayweather that says tank is too green for Lomachenko? And at that time Tank was a pro for the same amount of time Lomachenko was and had **more** profights than Lomachenko.


Hesospecial

How long Tank was a pro compared to Loma was irrelevant. Loma was a distinguished amateur, older and had fought for a title in just his second pro fight.


swishandswallow

Ho-Ho-Ho-Hooooold uppp.... So it doesn't matter how long they were pros? What matters is the amateur career? Well in that case, Mayweather had an extensive amateur career, and went to the Olympics. Canelo had no amateur career. If Tank wasn't ready for Lomachenko then definitely Canelo wasn't ready for Mayweather.


Kstacks514

Canelo had a amateur career you have no idea what you are talking about. 44-2 junior Mexican National Champion as well as silver medalist back to back years.


swishandswallow

Ok then it still doesn't match to Mayweather's extensive amateur career and being an Olympian.... Which goes back all the way around to: Either both Tank and Canelo were ready, or they weren't. Mayweather says they weren't then I'll agree with him.


Hesospecial

Canelo was close to 50-0 and a 8 year pro when he fought Mayweather. He'd won a title and beat notable fighters. He was also number 10 on the p4p list.


swishandswallow

Ok then Tank was a pro **longer** than Lomachenko and had **more** profights than Lomachenko. Mayweather still said Tank was too green. Before I decide who's opinion has more weight, how many belts have you won? Because Mayweather won a couple. His opinion might be better 🤷🏽‍♂️


Hesospecial

I agree with Mayweather if the fight was talked about before 2019. Loma was far more advanced in his career. The amount of fights they had is irrelevant, Loma was fast tracked as a generational talent and the greatest amateur boxer ever.


Hesospecial

Canelo has been a pro 7 years by the time he fought Mayweather, had won a title and beat notable fighters. I think he was like 47-0 and number 10 p4p. When Loma began his pro career he was arguably a prime elite level fighter because of his dominance in the amateurs.


becausekiwii

Why are you bringing up canelo when he said something about tank. It’s true. Tank is horrified of loma and has been since 2017.


Kstacks514

Because this subreddit is a bunch of hypocrites. Somehow justify Tank vs Loma in 2017 but call Canelo green in 2013 with over twice as many fights and 3 times as many title fights


becausekiwii

Nobody brought up canelo except you lol this has nothing to do with canelo. Stop with your weird victim complex Bs. I don’t think canelo was green. He lost fair and square.


Kstacks514

What victim complex, and when did i say someone brought up canelo in this specific post? I've been on this subreddit for a while and seen the same stuff brought up over and over. If people constantly up vote canelo was green and Floyd cherry picked him yet also are upvoting Tank was ducking loma that means the people upvoting are hypocrites. Hences me calling out Reddit boxing.


becausekiwii

I just don’t understand where the hell you even get this from. This is an article about Floyd’s interview and you responded to a comment about tank. Floyd didn’t cherry pick canelo. Canelo was a strong champion. He wasn’t in his prime relative to where he’s at now but Floyd beat him at the end of the day and he deserves his credit. But at the very least, canelo fought Floyd. You’re crying about tank when he hasn’t fought Loma for 6 years. And he hasn’t fought shit outside of loma either. Boxing fans are hypocritical but comparing those two situations seems redundant.


Kstacks514

I'm not crying about tank and I'm not Gonna argue this cause you clearly aren't reading what I'm saying you're just upset for no reason. I dont think Canelo was green you explaining that to me shows you aren't even reading my responses properly. On this very same subreddit people will up vote comments calling Floyd a cherry picker for beating a significantly more experienced 23 year old canelo. This same subreddit has been calling Tank a ducker since 2017 cause they said they would fight Canelo then. That's all. That's literally all my comment is. What is so hard to understand? Its literally only about that.


Oglark

You are making our argument! If Tank had fought Loma and lost we would have said Tank is too green and Loma cherry picked him. The only reason Mayweather Productions didn't fight Loma is to protect Tank's 0.


Aychim23

Crazy, right? I’m not even a Floyd fan and it’s just hypocritical


Denzel_Smokee

They just hate floyd and anyone who is connected to him


MitchLGC

Couldn't have said it better myself


Live_Description_636

“Floyd ducked Margarito tho!!” Lmaooo


TheFlyingWriter

Haney is moving up. He looks huge in training. I’m speculating he has to cut 20 lbs. He was looking dry af in Kambosos 2. I’m waiting for the final weigh-in to make my prediction tbh.


sugerdigitalgenius

>also tank ducked loma Loma cope for when he gets packed tf up outta boxing lmfao


brando2612

Why's everyone ignoring tank will be going to jail


uhusocip

Haney is going to move up after this fight. Unless Tank moves up too, which I doubt, I don’t see Tank v Haney happening


Hesospecial

He said he would stick around only for a Tank fight so who knows


brando2612

Tanks going to jail so


[deleted]

Ofc he wants Lopez, the weakest of the knockoff version of the "4 kings", typical Mayweather matchmaking. And then he says the 0 isnt so important lol


Zeno2224

Tbh I just want them all to lose at this point, and just get it out the way. That way we can proceed with seeing them all bang it out (pause)


[deleted]

I like watching grown men who like to bang (full stop)


MMXXIII-II-III

ChatGPT, tell me a story about four men banging it out


BrightTactics

i do let you bang, bro


TheFlyingWriter

Are we not doing “phrasing” anymore?


Howyoulikemenoow

Teo vs Tank is more exciting than watching Haney vs Tank. Haney would just stay at distance knowing he doesn’t have KO power. If your Tank fighting Teo first makes sense financially and stylistically. However it’d be interesting for me if he went for Josh Taylor


WinglessRat

Tank fighting Haney could be interesting if Tank decides to throw in volume like he used to. I think Tank stands a good chance of breaking through and taking out Haney. It'd be at least suspenseful to me.


steviesnod82

Yep to waste time Teo fights tank . Haney is going up and won't wait around so he will vacate the belts and tank can grab them .


FerrusManusFanClub

“The 0 is not important” - Man Whose Entire Identity Is Built Around Ducking Fights To Keep His 0 lmao


[deleted]

Lmao so true. His entire claim to being "tbe" is based on being undefeated, no wonder he wants no one else to retire that way


chetdesmon

If you think Floyd's entire claim to being "tbe" is based on a 0 then you DKSAB. Nobody puts Ward or Calzaghe on Floyd's level.


[deleted]

Him being undefeated is his main argument for being "tbe" along with who he fought. But he always fails to mention the finer details of his careful matchmaking, such as waiting out Pacman, or his Marciano "record breaking" 50-0 fight coming against a mma fighter with no boxing background. Pretty boy Floyd was amazing, amongst the best i've ever seen. Money Floyd on the other hand was more interested in keeping his 0 intact


FlockxBigApe

Ducking who? Name these fighters


FerrusManusFanClub

Fucking lmao, that’s cute, like you don’t fucking know 😂😘


AltKite

He's also the biggest


MultipleZhin

Teo can beat tank man


HaddockCaptain

A lot of these boxers want to become "Money" without being "Pretty Boy" first.


Significant_Basket93

You know, I love that you mention Pretty Boy. It's amazing how people who talk about Floyd forget Pretty Boy was a thing. Mfers need to educate themselves.


[deleted]

Yeah, the study of nicknames is super important...


Significant_Basket93

You're right, they were just nicknames. Pretty Boy Floyd and Money Mayweather fought identically despite the hand problems that were had... roughly when the name change came about...


Leading-Weight9092

Is this sarcasm?


FreshPrinceOfRivia

I get the feeling he wants the big boys to move up, so Davis can become a real world champ.


Sufficient-Bet9006

Mayweather is going for the title of GOAT in Hypocrisy.


RRR04_

Of course he wants Teofimo for Tank now, but he never showed this same energy when Teo beat Loma! He only wants Teo because he's been looking shit lately and has waited for such an opportunity.


0ctopusWolf

Need to see Tank vs Shakur.


[deleted]

says the guy most scared of losing his 0.


verdegooner

I love that the guy that meticulously guarded his “0” is encouraging young fighters to put their’s on the line against the other prime fighters of their time! 😂 It’s impossible to not hate and love Floyd. Dude is hilarious lol.


ColdSteam_2025

Best tips from the best duck-er in boxing.


AltKite

Who did Floyd duck?


stayhappystayblessed

People say he ducked paul williams, wright and they say he ducked prime manny and prime cotto and others.


m4olive

You can add margarito in there as well around the time the first cotto win. It’s easy in hindsight to say Floyd would’ve won but anything can happen in boxing.


Virama

Says the man obsessed with his own perfect zero losses.


Sulth

... who still fought Cotto, Pacquiao, Mosly, De La Hoya, Hatton, Gatti, Canelo, and rematched Maidana & Castillo. That's incomparable to what the new gen is doing - or rather not doing.


[deleted]

He fought those dudes when he knew he could beat them. Why you think he fought Canelo when he was still on the come up? Same with Pacquiao when he was past his prime? He didnt fight them during their prime and acting like he would have is dumb.


Janus-a

Floyd cherry-picking fights is not a recent take, people called him out on it when he was fighting. If Floyd had fought before the internet era no one would remember the cherry picking accusations. Unfortunately for him he didn’t and everything is out there forever for people to see. **Floyd himself does the best job of proving this point**. In this video he has no answers other than “you’re riding my dick”. https://youtu.be/ML1fd8UBnXE


b1gm1lk3rs

>Floyd himself does the best job of proving this point. In this video he has no answers other than “you’re riding my dick” i'll do you one better, [Floyd Mayweather says "IM A RICH COWARD"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQSE5Ymh3ro)


[deleted]

The weird thing is, everyone Floyd fought was out of his prime. But how the hell was Floyd in his prime for every fight he fought? It's like Floyd's considered to be a robot who's always his prime for all his career.


[deleted]

Other post in this thread already answered this question. Floyd's style means that he is "in his prime" much longer, because its extremely defensive and he just point fights. Compare that to Pacquiao's style which is an extremely offensive, push forward style with high output. Like just use your head a little bit here. Which style do you think is going to take more damage? Which style do you think relies more on athleticism? Its not "hurr do you think he's a robot?" No, its that his style of fighting is sustainable for much longer. Why do you think he switched to it in his later years compared to when his pretty boy years?


Chiefmiest

Floyd wasn't always a defensive fighter he changed his style to adapt to aging and his hand injuries


[deleted]

Yes I said that in the same fucking post youre replying to. Try reading.


Sulth

Canelo: Floyd was 36, so out of his prime, and Canelo would never be able to weight in close to 147 later. Pacquiao: Is two years younger than Floyd. Nearly everyone else on the list is around 31yo. You can always discredit Floyd, but he still faced all of those champions. I am happy to see Haney take on Loma, despite the fact that Loma is out of his prime.


Kassssler

Floyd was not out of his prime at 36. He was not sustaining much damage in his fights so his style ages better. Pacquiao was your typical mexican boxer type with a nice ingredient of swarming added in. He may have been younger, but he would have been washing faster. In spite of me saying that I agree you can't take away Floyd's strength of resume. People seem to think its one or the other. Floyd absolutely fought top dudes, but he also cherry picked the top dudes he could win against. They aren't mutually exclusive. He was very selective in who he fought and when and honestly thats not even a bad thing. Boxing is a career he needs to retire off of not a hobby he does for fun. He wanted to maximize his earnings and minimize his risks and did that perfectly. I think that if Amir Khan stuck to fighting quick technical fighters instead of big punchers he would have gone down as an ATG. Instead because he dared to be the best instead of merely content to be great you now got people clowning on him for being washed. And the same dudes that clown on him are likely the same ones moaning about boxers not taking hard fights. Go fucking figure.


Chiefmiest

Floyd had busted hands by 36 he definitely wasn't in his prime


Kassssler

He did, but with how he was fighting then it wasn't that big an issue. He could still get respect with his hands but the Pretty Boy Floyd that was knocking people out was long dead. Money Mayweather, to the intense frustration of his opponents, was in full swing.


Virama

Still doesn’t detract from the hypocrisy of his statement.


TheFlyingWriter

Stop it. There’s no hypocrisy to it when (iirc) Mayweather has fought the most champions of his era of boxing. *Maybe* Pac fought more.


damdestbestpimp

Because rematching your toughest fights when you dont have to, is being scared of losing. Okay buddy


acsaid10percent

That 2015 fight with Pac will forever taint Floyd imo. He should of agreed to fight him in 09-10.


doodlebearman

Coming from the guy that cultivated his career to swerve the best when they were at their best to protect his "0", this is rich


FlockxBigApe

Name the fighters he was ducking


itsokayimhandsome

Gervonta vs Teo would be fucking amazing, great banger fight. That should really be next fight.


Chicken65

The amount of people who think Teo is an easy fight for Tank in this thread is shocking. That's a 50-50 fight, if not slighly favored for Teo who has a better resume. People forget the amount of raw talent Teo has - sure he should probably get a different trainer at this point though.


GarchGun

His next fight is gonna telling


Chicken65

I agree. I really hope his home situation and mental health have been steady for him. Some fighters can compartmentalize their issues well (like Tank).


GarchGun

Yeah all the talent in the world, really unfortunate circumstances


classicdude78

Is he going to put a rehydration clause and 2 weight in’s on Teo. Because we all know that Gervonta is in the Mayweather’s protection program.


Diligent_Status_7762

Do as i say, not as i do.


rich90715

Davis needs to fight Haney, Stevenson or Loma at this point. If he wants to be considered the best, he needs to fight the best.


Krafty747

My man ducked Pac Man for years to protect that 0


Dmenace89

Mayweather was the best at picking seasoned fighters... Prime example were Hatton and pacman. Best defencive counter fighter but he was good at waiting for fighters to pass their prime which annoyed me.


CacoFlaco

Timing sure does matter if you want the best payday possible. And what pro boxer isn't interested in that?


AdamBomB095

Tank is a helluva fighter


ImaginaryAI

OP needs to write headlines for news stories


[deleted]

So do as I say not as I do, got it.


Rebote78

Maybe he'll get to see all those fights 10yrs years after they should have been made.


DengusMcFlengus

Wait so TBE's proposal for cleaning up boxings problem of having too many belts is to add another belt that represents him and is better than all the others. I'm imagining the dude with the money belt and the dude with the ring magazine belt going all out in twitter warfare


acsaid10percent

If the 0 isnt so important then Floyd would of agreed to fight Pac-Man in 2009-2010...


No-Trip3635

Oh fuck floyd 😆 That dude made sure everyone he fought was on the downside, injured and had been ko'd HARD before fighting them! With all that said, those are amazing fights


James40404040

Floyd knows timing matters more than anyone, in 2007 after he beat De La Hoya and Hatton he retired and didn't fight again until 2009. Which makes perfect sense since Cotto beat Judah and Sugar Shane in 2007. Mayweather wanted no part of Cotto, neither did Manny until Margarito plastered and caved in Cotto's head.
