Tank vs. Tim Bradley @ 140

How does Tank fare against Timmy the head?

 

bradley wins 9 to 3 or at worst

 

Tank has no business at 140 but I could see him giving Bradley some problems. Bradley's style gives Tank opportunities to land some bombs. It won't be enough to win the fight but he'd make Bradley earn it.

 

Prime Bradley would beat the fuck outta Tank.

 

I usually 100% agree with your breakdowns, but I disagree here.

Tank doesn't have much to offer a prime Bradley. He's too small. As for his power, I really don't think Tank is a bigger hitter than Kendall Holt was. He might buzz Bradley, but he wouldn't get him out there.

Bradley's too strong for Tank, and too adaptable. Did you guys just ignore the fact that this guy was losing to Rolly effing Romero until Rolly got reckless? Handle an elite operator like Bradley? An elite operator like Bradley who's bigger and stronger than Tank? LOL please. You guys are giving Davis waayyyy too much credit.

Circa 09-11 Bradley would kick Tank's ass all over the ring, if I'm being honest. I would not even rule out a late TKO.

I say with great confidence that Tank loses to Peterson and Alexander, let alone Bradley.

 

Last thing, prime Bradley's the favorite over anyone at 135-140 right now.

Tim would lose to special fighters like Crawford, Oscar, Mosley, and obviously he would lose to greats like Pryor, Whitaker, Benitez, Chavez, Floyd, ect.

But these guys?? Mehhh. Tank, Taylor, Prograis, Haney, Fimo, these guys are just okay for the era.

 

Worse case scenario is the Provo fight, which means Timmy the head still guts it out

 

Tank doesn't have Provo's physical strength and durability.

Tank's a big puncher, but not a particularly physically strong guy. Rolly was man handling him until walking into that shot.

Bradley could honestly either outbox Tank at distance, or just physically bully him if he put pressure on him.

 

I think Bradley would just be too big and too strong for Tank.

He’d outbox him and bully him inside.

 

I don't think we are disagreeing on the outcome at all I just think Tank is a sneaky enough counterpuncher to get Bradley's attention and make him adjust some things. No way Tank is close to winning but I could see him buzzing Bradley a couple of times.

And Tank definitely doesn't have a Provo type fight in him especially against a guy like Bradley.

 

Bradley finds a way to outbox and outmuscle Tank. Not to mention that he's able to take Tank's best shots.
