Rooting for DC in this one but I have never liked this fight for Gary (Tank too strong)....doesn't matter though as the moment has passed and I don't think that fight will ever happen

If he's too strong, then let it be proven in the ring.
This is still a big fight that will draw people not only from the DMV but also from NY, NJ, and PA.

Hey, Gary wants the fight...I just think he will lose...I dont see the fight happening now that Tank has moved to 140

I was thinking they could have it at National Harbor but somebody else was saying the potential for crazy shit jumping off in the parking lot was too high....who knows? It would be a big seller in the area though...somebody don't want to make the fight....that could be on Gary for not making a bigger name for himself by only fighting once a year

Tank is supposedly moving down to 135 to fight JoJo Diaz.
Tank can fight at 132 like he did with Santa Cruz.

Fellas, fellas fellas...

Don't worry yourselves about a fight that ain't gonna happen. Tank is with Mayweather and Floyd and Leonard has him on the "Green Print" i.e. a black fighting a latino. He ain't fighting Gary, his little brother, or even Haney anytime soon. You might as well forget about it.

This gonna be a good fight
I just checked out the Castano vs. Lara fight. The rounds were close but Lara was pitching a shut out. Judges are shitty, it ended up being a draw. With that said Charlo gone beat the breaks off that dude. Castano is a brawler with limited boxing skills (let me clarify, he knows how to throw the basic punches, I don't think can set up his punches. He just comes forward and takes a lot of punishment). If Lara had more power like Charlo he would've knocked him out. I expect Charlo to knock him out by the 8th.

Yeah but Charlo aint as technical as Lara...I expect Charlo to KO him but I think it will be close until it happens

Remember he KO'd a power puncher with a jab the last time. When you rush in like them Argentine fighters, you can get stop quick if your are fighting someone with some skill and a lot of power. Charlo has both. I know he is not as skilled as Lara, but the difference between the two (Charlo and Lara) is not that great. Yeah, I know the word is Lara used to out box both of the brothers in the gym, but we all grow. The Charlo's are better fighters now.

I hear ya, but this time around it seems a little different. Arum made it personal by publicly embarrassing him, losing money on his fights, and Spence getting the sole thing that kept him on TR, Pacquiao. I definitely agree he shoulda left years ago, but it appears Arum doesn't want him around anymore. So it doesn't look like he has any other choice this time around.
