Ironic because Tank himself quit to smaller fighters every time he wasn't able to bully them. He was a tough guy for all of three minutes until his gas tank hit empty.
Except his resume is shit at heavyweight
The current situation is like if Volkanovski beat Chandler for the lightweight belt after Khabib retired, and then refused to give Islam Makhachev a title shot
Like who? He was recently grappling with Eddie Hall and making it look easy.
Who would possibly have the combination of physical prowess, skill, and fight experience to beat Aspinall in a street fight? Maybe if Andre the Giant were still alive?
What would be the difference if you were swinging for your life as Joshua or Aspinall? Either way, you're a 6'5+ 260 lb dude who will put out someone's out lights the second you connect. And it's not like there's a massive difference in hand speed between the two guys.
I'd take the downgrade in...
Gomi looks like a normal middle aged man. He looks extra old because when we watched him he always looked young.
Same thing happened with Frankie Edgar, he looked like Frodo for a long time but now he looks like a normal 42 year old.
I don't get why it was moved to "worldwide MMA" tbh. Gomi is a 13 fight UFC veteran and this is a boxing match. Either it should be in UFC or it should be in boxing.
Not even Mighty Mouse was holding down flyweights the way Pantoja was. I think Erceg probably has adequate if not excellent grappling, most of his wins are by submission after all.
Just like how everyone said Aspinall wouldn't be able to take a clean shot from Pavlovich?
Bruno Silva survived Pereira. Blachowicz survived Pereira. Aspinall has 50 lbs on either of these guys.
Skillwise #2 is clearly Izzy. If you think Romero is more skilled than Izzy just because he potentially outpointed him in a total nothing fight, then I don't know what to tell you. That would be like thinking Derrick Lewis is a better fighter than Ngannou, or that Esparza is actually better than...
Nobody thinks Matt Serra is the GOAT. But people remember Matt Serra as this huge upset because GSP was so good. If GSP had retired after losing to Matt Serra, both guys would be barely remembered today like Carlos Newton or Sean Sherk.
And plenty of people hype up BJ Penn based on his close...
