Personally, I think this would be a very risky fight for Tank. Taylor is too big. What do you think ?

Im going with the edge for Taylor on size. But more into a rematch with Prograis.
If Tank does it kudos too him.

He's willing to fight anyone.

I would prefer to see him against Lopez, Commey, Haney, R. Garcia, M. Garcia (and Loma, of course).
I like Tank a lot, consider him as one of the best young fighters (beyond HW), but I don't like the crap you can read in US media - for example, the claim that Tank had the better result than Breazeale on the punching machine.

I don't read stuff like that. My interest these days is just in the fights.

Davis talks a big game.
Then his handlers set up his next opponent, and it isn't anything close to anyone Davis has been talking about.

He is just talking. Wait and see him facing Leo Santa Cruz next.

Cruz is ripe for the picking. He has been bottom feeding since Frampton. Look at his next opponent

Jumping 2 weight classes would make Tank a huge underdog but props to him if he actually DOES it!!

Tank is also significantly bigger.

Davis would beat him if they fight, he kept missing or struggling at 130, he is probably a 135-140 draining himself, his speed is unreal for a short stocky fighter and his power is EXTREMELY rare, he would be a power puncher at 140, good fight, Josh Taylor would likely be favored which just means people betting on Davis will get a Big Payday, Josh Taylor is a VERY GOOD fighter, but Davis is A Rare and Superior Fighter, I hope the fight gets made in 2020, Winner would elevate himself to Star status meaning a name known by the public and not just Boxing fans fans.

The difference between the two is that Taylor is now a
proven fighter, Davis is only conjecture for now. If he is any good, why won't his keepers let him fight the big fights?

Hard to imagine a kid that grew up at that size in the most extreme of environments fearing any challenge. He's just naive to the business. Probably got amped watching a great fight and said he'll yeah give me some

Tank would stop him imo. I'm Scottish and root for Josh but i thought he got a bit of a lesson vs Prograis in the first half of the fight, ate some wicked body shots and took a pasting trying to close the distance. It was a real gritty performance though and he toughed it out, applying his size until he wore Prograis down.
I think Tank is just a different beast and Taylor wouldn't be walking him down like he did to Prograis.

Conjecture? He's a world champion who has stopped other undefeated world champions. He's the real deal.

Haney too..................
Willing to face Taylor (at 140).
Slowly, but surely, Taylor is becoming a very, very wanted opponent(as Canelo).

Maybe, I am boring, but I read today that Haney was willing to fight Davis, too..............
It is becoming very, very hot.
