Comments Thread For: Arum: Gervonta Davis Too Small For 140; Don't Think Josh Taylor Would Have Any Trouble

[Bronx2245]

My problem with Tank fighting at 140 vice 135, is I think he did it because he's lazy! If he would stay under 150 year round, he could make 135 without a problem! However, he wants to eat, drink, and party, so that's why he's trying 140! He should be able to stay @ 135 at least until he turns 30!

What? He may not be able to even crack an egg but he did knock Panty Cruz' ass out unconscious with just one solid uppercut.

I said panty cruz cant crack an egg.
Also you just proved my point. Stank just looks for one big punch. Dude gets hit alot trying to land it. If santy had any power he woulda had stank outta there. Thats why i think ryan, loma and Lopez beat him fairly comfortably

Honestly I don't think laziness has anything to do with it. Barrios is a much easier fight than anyone of note at 135. Certainly easier than anyone with a 135 title.

Davis at 140 is the same as Canelo at 175, guys are very small for the weightclass, they can offset a portion of that with being faster, skilled and Davis has that explosiveness but it's not their weightclass, I rather see tank campaign at 135 and Canelo stick to 168.

Tank is even smaller than a lot of these lightweights, Marios is a very calculated risk, it's a picked fight, is a fight which he should win against a regular weak champion, now, 140 is not the most stacked division but Haney, Garcia dn Lopez will eventually move up to 140 and with all due respect and adimiration I got for Tank, I don't think he beats those guys at 140, size will be just too much.

We'll see how Tank looks at 140, thou, I will watch his fight.

I would not say Canelo is small for 175, I would just say it's unfair to want him to compete so up high. Those 175lb fighters easily walk at 200lbs. I think Canelo can compete at 175lbs but only like Mayweather competed at 154lbs. Just go up there for only the most lucrative fight of the available opponents. For example, if Froch was still around, that would be a lucrative fight. But right now, the only I see that can be decent pay for Canelo would be Joe Smith Jr. But realistically, it's hard to sell any 175 guy right now. No one stands out and it seems like no one is fighting eachother for one reason or another, only Joe Smith Jr. He fought Hopkins, Bivol, Eleider, Barrera, Fonfora, Hart. SO he has the resume to sell to the fans. Beterbiev is the best guy there, but has a weak resume. Bivol has the second best resume after Smith but he's so inactive. He should have capitalized on his momentum when he beat 4 good fighters in a row, Barrera, Chilemba, Pascal and Smith Jr. I'm not sure when he and Beterbiev are going to fight but they have been #1 and #2 for a while now.

Barrios is a tougher fight than Devin Haney @ 135! I think everything was all set for Tank vs. KingRy, but I think GBP put a stop to that, especially after Luke Campbell dropped him! Tank vs. Teofimo is a 50/50 fight, and I hope we see it @ 140! Teofimo can't stay at 135 much longer

If Tank doesn't KO Haney, he loses badly on the cards. There is just no way Barrios beats Tank, no avenue to victory.

Admittedly, Haney looked really bad after getting tagged but tagging Haney is no small feat.

I'm tired of this bs narrative that Davis is moving up 2 weight classes. He HAS A 2ndary BELT AT 135 and fighting for ANOTHER 2ndary belt at 140. Stop with the garbage.

[MONGOOSE66]

Yeah, definitely if he fights a live dog like Taylor he would be F'ed, hence why he wouldn't. Am sure Taylor is still waiting for that call which Tank promised to make to Haymon to make that fight...it's only been a year or so now .

His handlers are going to spoon feed him till he’s over 30 like the Charlo’s.

Oh, my apologies about that homie; My bad!

[SUBZER0ED]

I don't like the way LSC was able to tattoo Tank. If anyone with real power hits him like that (Josh Taylor for instance), it's lights out.
