Very interesting that Haney told the media that is favoring Ryan Garcia over Tank Davis if ever they will face each other in the ring.
“I don’t know. Right now, I’m favoring Ryan Garcia but Tank obviously has that one-punch knockout power. But Ryan does too. Ryan’s much bigger, Ryan’s faster but Tank got way more experience than him. I think that's a good ass fight.”

But he also says what we all know already, that this fight will be difficult to make because of their promotions and the network affiliations.
I think Ryan Garcia is similar with Rolando Romero which a boxer that's have been beaten by Tank, so if Ryan vs Tank will happen I expect Tank will win here. Ryan is just relying on his physical appearance and he will try to knocking down Tank, but Tank is a technical boxer just like Haney, he can outbox Ryan. Not really sure why Haney favoring Ryan, maybe he just want to gain popularity considering most people are favoring Tank.
Both of them seems to be silent and they don't have any plan to fight against other boxers, perhaps they're want to bulking and move to next weight.
But Ryan Garcia has the upper hand if he will be compared to Rolando Romero, the latter is too raw and he just wasted his record by going against Tank Davis too soon and I believe that will also happen to Garcia as well as Shakur if they want to go against Tank directly. Garcia is just too hungry to have a belt that's why he's making a sound these days and aiming for Tank Davis but just like I said, it's too soon for him. Maybe a Shakur vs Garcia will have to happen first and the winner will be fighting Davis.
I'm not a fan of Davis though but it's undeniable that he's more talented and his IQ in the ring exceeds Ryan's and Shakur because of the experience he got. What an interesting division, so packed with strong and undefeated boxers.
