His brother Antuann who is 140 was also an Olympian and looked great in his last fight but he’s not quite ready and the Russell’s would avoid it like they did with Gary. Shame.
How if they're calling him out and he's ignoring them?
Maybe Tanks people know the calling out is bs talk.
So Russell, Teo, Haney, Garcia, and Prograis calling Tank out is b.s. somehow? Because he hasn't fought one of them. Not even Loma.

I was talking about Russell, not the other guys. I’m friends with Tanks trainer Calvin Ford. I used to take my amateur boxers to his gym for sparring including Tank when he was real young. I won’t put my guys in with him now but anyway Calvin told me they wanted to fight Russell but couldn’t get the fight.

Tank last fought at 130, so him fighting Russell isn't a stretch weight wise.
So you think Tank's team want him to be tight at 130 just to fight someone who he's the A-side to?
You are talking 4 pounds difference from the weight Tank fought at last,

Whole lot of time from Santa Cruz fight to his next fight. I gotta to think he will never fight below 135 again.

Loma is so good with his footwork and positioning when he punches, I see Loma decisioning Tank. Not sure if Tank has been in deep waters either, so the jury is out whether he would quit or not. Great fight though, I'd pay to see it. I see a 116-112 type of decision in favor of Loma.
Nice summation :TU:
It would be the only one I would pay to see.

ideally?

lopez right away.

or even one of the first seven fighters mentioned would be okay fights.


all these guys should fight each other.

will even one of those fights happen next year?

which ones will happen in the foreseeable future?

realistically?

Rolando Romero is fighting for the interim WBA (reg) lightweight belt... Tank owns that belt. Both are Floyd guys i think. Could see this "unification" being made end of the year...

:bag:

Loma beats Tank relatively easily which is why we'll never get THAT fight...
