What’s your Davis vs Martin prediction? 🔮👇

[@MoBetta-um7jg]

Tank with the Knockout

[@seancampbell3950]

Tank will be way too powerful, plus Tanks boxing IQ is very underrated, and he will set traps for Martin, like he did with Barrios!!!

[@Cashews100]

Tank with a masterclass and finish in 9th round

Martin will walk himself into a KO

Best interview I've seen of Tank

[@stuarturquhart9363]

You sure? Credit to Rob as it felt like Tank cba

[@AndyRigs2378]

Tank has officially grown up as a young boy into a man, he’s 100% comfortable in his own skin and it’s good to see him in good spirits

[@VernissageRecs]

Word you can tell something is different about him

[@GoldenMean743]

@@VernissageRecs He's a great boxer, but no, he doesn't stand out. Tyson was a street man, too, but Tyson, despite his tone and anger issues, had some level of speech and critical thinking. This man couldn't articulate a sentence if his life depended on it, and he should avoid interviews as much as possible. To people like him, and I'm from the hood, too, he communicates a negative message: you don't have to care about reading and education. I did and became a professor, but people like him and me are extremely rare. He's got money now; instead of partying, he needs to get some tutoring and really grow into a man.

@@mrjames7246Na I think the opposite, inoue obviously a very special fighter, but tank is very special as well and gets underrated in his own way due to his superstar status and his unwillingness to chase legacy, but he still has elite level ability and all the boxing experts point it out.

[@FloatLikeDub]

He beats women and doesn't fight his contemporaries. It's pretty easy to dislike him actually

[@daviddhoughton]

Tank keeps it real every answer & the respect he just showed Naoya was dope. Naoya is my favorite boxer in the game today with tank a close 2nd. I’m praying that fight happens someday. It would be the biggest fight in boxing history. The monster is the complete package like tank said, elite footwork, IQ, Speed, Power, defense, counter punching, he’s the real deal. Tank is too. That’s why I hope that fight gets made, it will be tank’s toughest fight of his career. He’s saying he doesn’t see himself fighting him now, but the way he initially answered “maybe I can go down to 130” gives me hope.

[@danielsmithiv1279]

Bruh, that fight would be unreal... Naoya is my favorite fighter to watch too! I have a special place in my heart for Ryan Garcia though. But the point I'm trying to make is that even though I care about guys like Gervonta, Fury, Oleksander, Beterbiev, Bivol, Teofimo, Benavidez, Canelo, Bud, Vergil Ortiz Jr., and the like, Naoya captivates me deep bro. He completely wins me over with his fighting spirit, persona, and extraordinary abilities. He's like an anime main protagonist.

[@NYScott-mj6uo]

I never seem a Tank Davis interview i didn't like!, he's the TRUTH

[@danielsmithiv1279]

Naoya is already ATG for me bro. Forget what anybody say to me about that. By 36 or 37 years old, if Naoya becomes 3x or 4x undisputed and still remains undefeated while continuing his KO streak against elite fighters, then I believe that Naoya will be the greatest fighter to have ever lived...

[@danielsmithiv1279]

Naoya Inoue is god-like bro. Lord Yeshua blessed that man for sure. Even Tank fathoms the beauty and magnificence of Naoya's prowess. You should get ESPN+ and watch Naoya fight Nery. My heart was beating and I was slightly shaking during that fight bro. If you already watched that one, basically any of Inoue's previous fights will do you good

He's the face of Boxing, maybe but there is also Canelo (In terms of media presence, and hype, yes, I agree).However, tbh he isn't really the best boxer, let's be honest now. What's his best win, Ryan Garcia? dude struggled with Isaac Cruz. Terence Crawford has a better resume than Tank and is a way better Boxer (possibly the best of his generation) , even Canelo has a better resume. There's far better boxers than Tank. I'll name a few: Crawford, Canelo, Usyk, Bivol, Beterbiev, etc.

[@dannyle2298]

You gotta love Tank for his honesty. Real sees real. As "true boxing fans" of the sports, Tank would admit that Inoue has the complete package of what you want to see in a boxer. At 6:55 of the clip, you could see the excitement on Tank's face when he heard that Inoue was going to fight soon. As boxing fans, you want to see Inoue fight whenever you can. Tank and Inoue mentioned on many many occasion of the respect they have for one another and their skill sets. In reality, the weight disparity are too great. But when Inoue moves up to 126 and fight for a lot of these world title fights in the US against Brandon Figueroa, Raymond Ford and potentially Shu Shu Carrington, I would love to see Gervonta fly out to watch the event live and maybe have a sit down or meet and great with the monster. Tank and the monster are the true face of the lower weight division in boxing.
