Man this would be the most exciting fight in boxing. Teo is bigger and I've stated this before but he is very twitch, a special athlete with exceptional hand-eye coordination, reflexes, speed, and timing. But I think one thing people don't consider in this fight is Tank has a much better chin. I saw the way Teo's head jarred back when Lomachenko landed in the later half of the fight and he didn't like it at all. I think Tank would be able to take Teo's power much better than Teo would take his. With all that said, I still have no clue who would win and would just love to see
Tank Davis vs. Teofimo Lopez, who wins?

I think Tank is the superior boxer and has the power advantage, so id pick him. Not a slight to Lopez though i think all the top guys in the division do different things very well and can all beat each other.

I wanna say Tank but I'm just not sure. I need to actually see him face an threat 1st to make a better assessment
That could go either way but I'm leaning towards Teo. Like that old saying when people show you who they are, believe them. There's a reason why Floyd said they're keeping Tank's fights in house cuz they don't want to make another company great. I didn't make that up, he said that. There's a reason for that. There's also a reason why Tank is going back down to 130-135. Tank ain't ready for Teo yet. He was getting touched by Leo and a lot before stopping him. His face was bruised up.
I missed most of the Barrios fight watching the Suns/Clippers game. Turned it on at the 9th. From what I understand he was getting touched the first half of that fight before adjusting. He got caught a little bit after knocking Barrios down two times. That said, I'm not convinced he can deal Teo, nor Loma. Maybe Haney cuz he don't have the power to keep him honest. Not even gonna mention the other guy's name cuz that's a hype job.

I would lean Teo but honestly I could see either dude getting rocked. Chin or no chin Tank gets touched too easily for me to just assume he going eat what ever comes his way going forward just cause he ain't get hurt bad yet. Lopez looked like he would have got dropped by Loma if Loma started earlier (and survived) so i view him as vulnerable too
It would be a good fight tho and probably wouldn't last 12. Both dudes got dawg in them so i don't see either running trying survive if it came to that

I say this is a 50-50 figh even though I have my reservations about Lopez. Lopez done got KO'D in sparring a lot.

It's really a 50/50 fight. Tank is the better boxer, and has the power advantage. But Teofimo has the size advantage and also has plenty strength of power.
Teofimo would really be the guy to test his chin. As great of an offensive fighter Tank is, he's not pretty hittable. And his chin has never been tested like that against a guy who can really punch. The biggest puncher he's fought so far was Jesus Cuellar, and Cuellar was a natural featherweight. Barrios is big, but he's not that big of a puncher. People question Lopez's chin, but at least he fought a big puncher in Richard Commey, who's a bigger puncher than anybody Tank has fought.
