Ryan Garcia vs Tank Davis

Post by Bandog »

Floyd called Garcia's bluff, and said let's make the fight. 135 is the weight class. He said they can fight this year still. Interesting fight if it actually is made. Hope RG doesn't back out now.

Drain him down to 135? Garcia looked like a WW last fight. He'd probably need to chop off his leg to make the weight. Mayweather knows this, and likely doesn't want take this fight, hence the stupid 135 demand when Tank already fought at 140.

Drain him down? It's the weight he's at. Tank fought once at 140, and realized it wasn't his best weight with a small frame at 5'5".

RG doesn't call the shots. Mayweather agreed to do the fight, at 135.

Who calls the shots? Last I checked, Tank can barely draw flies on PPV, and this is with them giving out PPV codes and free tickets.

Ryan Garcia doesn't fight at 135 anymore. Tank needs to move up for this fight. He did it for Barrios, but he won't do it for the biggest paycheck out there.

:doh: Let me get this straight...you think the instagram/Twitter boy draws more and should be the A side over Tank? You are delusional. Ryan Garcia needs to get some notable wins, get his head on straight, and in the meantime stfu.

He's not a 140lber, nor is Tank. My guess is that he demanded 140 knowing Tank would decline. Hell, RG wouldn't even fight feather fisted Haney! You honestly make me laugh dude. :lol:

Your claiming both are 135s… then why would Garcia want it at 140? Surly that would be same advantage/disadvantage for both.

The truth is Ryan Garcia was a 135er, but is early 20s and growing. He could probably still make it if he drained the fornicate out of himself, but he is now a pretty big 140 and shouldent move down.

Tank is probably slight A side, but He has been floundering and needs a high profile win… if he wasn’t scared of Garcia at 140 then it could be tanks biggest payday to date.

Fortuna and Campbell are notable wins. Hell Campbell is arguably the best win out of both their resumes. As I said, Tank can barely draw flies. Dude has to have Haymon and Floyd pumping numbers behind the scenes just to break 100K. You sound delusional as hell.

I think fans expect too much from fighters.
They don't need to be witty, or inspiring, or even interesting. We shouldn't care what their favourite football team is, or their religion or anything else.
They just need to excite in the ring.

RG calling out Tank, demanding it be at 140, when he hasn't even fought there himself, is laughable. Tank, although not a huge draw yet, is much more of a draw than Garcia, who turned down the chance to even fight the light hitting Haney for his belt. Imo, RG is a weak minded punk, hiding behind all of his social media fans.

Use your brain. I'm not a big fan of either, but the whole thing is laughable when you think about it. The fight will happen in 90 days if it is at 135. If all of a sudden it's too much to cut for Garcia? Move up, and stfu. Call someone else out. Simple as that.

Tank has already hit his popularity threshold. As we have seen with Spence Jr. and Crawford, even winning a lot is no longer enough. Tank's popularity sweet spot is making 50-100K on PPVs fighting guys like Romero and losing his promoter a lot of money. Ask Top Rank if that's sustainable, though.

Ryan Garcia has an enormous ceiling if he keeps winning. Dude can be as big as Canelo. His issue is that he's not dedicated like Canelo. He'll lose pretty soon if he's not match right and doesn't put his head down and take things serious.

Tank has fought at 140 against a guy bigger than Garcia. Why is he scared of 140 now?
If you watched that fight, although talented and winning, Tank found out that he wasn't big enough frame-wise to compete against the best at 140. Much like guys like Broner, and others have found out. If you are currently building your career, legacy, fight at your optimum weight. Tank also fought recently at 130 if I remember right.

What makes RG confident of the advantage he will have at 140, having never competed there? You can't say it's your weight until you compete there. Same goes for Andrade at 168, and others. I see it as a definite advantage over Tank, but not the other top guys at 140. I've read a lot about the weight struggles of Haney and Teo Lopez, but this was the first I've heard of Garcia. Just go fight some top guys at 140, because it won't be Tank. He's not Canelo.

Looks like RG is willing to fight at 135 after all. https://www.boxingnews24.com/2022/07/ry ... ny-weight/

Ryan has fought at 139 and 140 his last 2 fights. So yes he has competed there. And as you said legacy fights at your optimum weight… which Garcia now feels is 140.
