Except for the tiny detail that he would be the least likely to participate.
:lol: yes, my money would be on Tank telling anyone that would listen that he could beat everyone in a round robin type tournament, then not signing up for it and carrying on with beating up 2nd tier guys on ppv.
:lol:

Fair points guys.

It's a shame really because talent wise, Tank is probably the best of the lot.

He needs to be put into the mix and all these guys need to start fighting each other.
I wasn't getting at you, just having a chuckle.
Its turning into a bit of a joke though, Tank at a press conference saying he beats Kambosos after he beat Lopez, then Tank fights Cruz :doh: and not as convincingly as one would expect from a PPV star who is proclaimed top dog at 135.
There has to be a reason why they don't let him at the top guys.
I don't know what it is, because he looks good in the eye test and has power. Cruz was a blip, and Tank hurt his hand, so let's put that aside as an of night.
It's just getting boring watching him beat 2nd tier guys, and no way am I paying for the privilege.

Tank has never wanted to fight anyone so why should boxingfans care about him?

This Haney guy looks promising, hope he gets his shot sometime in the future.

Kambosos vs Lomachenko is a fight that needs to happen. These guys are both very special and a fight between the two is not easy to give a prediction on.

Kambosis has a decent chance vs Haney to become undisputed champ. It would make the Loma fight bigger. I think Loma beats either guy in close decisions.

GFK is rightly ranked No.1, but it's obviously The Matrix.

The Takeover squeaked past The Matrix on his worst performance, then Ferocious squeaked past The Takeover on HIS worst performance.

The first was Loma's shoulder and the 2nd probably weight-making or taking GFK lightly.

That takes nothing away from those great victories but Loma would be betting favourite over GFK as would Teo if they fought @ 140.
Haney could well beat any of them on a good day. Tank looks like a little Broner-esque - sensational when freakishly weight-bullying, but merely decent when everyone is the same size.

With Teo gone, I go...
Loma, GFK, Haney, Tank in that order.

Close obviously - all down to 'on the night' and would love to see any/all of these fight.. :box:

Undisputed is just nonsense. Kambosos is the champion regardless of any paperbelt held by anyone else.

Kambosos is getting very overrated. Reminds me of when Bradley got extremely overrated after beating Marquez to where people thought he would beat Pacquiao in their second fight. Kambosos would get dominated by Lomachenko. I have zero doubt.

Kambosos has a great win over Lopez, but he's very much an average fighter. I've seen his fights with Bey and Selby, and the dude is only a little above Euro level. Lopez seems to struggle with guys that are taller than him on top of him having a toxic dad in his corner and believing his own hype. It was more of a case that Lopez beat himself than Kambosos being special.

Still, Kambosos is #1 at 135 even though it's kind of a black eye on the division as I think Tank, Garcia, Lomachenko, Haney, and still even Lopez are far better than Kambosos. Fair play to him, though. He came in and toppled the man of the division in an enormous upset. I just put it on equal footing as the Mikey Garcia loss.

You'd have to say that Teo got overrated before fighting Lomachenko, which a lot were actually saying. You know, the ones that call him Lomassiah as if he doesn't have 2 losses. :roll:

Anyways, Lopez was never overrated. The guy knocked out Commey in dominating fashion and beat Lomachenko.

Contrast that with Kambosos who has never looked special, even in beating Lopez.
