Comments Thread For: Gervonta Davis: I'd Rather Be Between 130 & 135; Go Up To 140 If The Fight's Right

Cherry picker talk.

i love watching people hate on tank..its so predictable...anybody affiliated with haymon, floyd or ellerbe will automatically receive this treatment from the same ole crowd of usual suspect fgts...nothing they do will ever be right....

can through the top 20 p4p guys and show me their best win by age 26....or even their best opponent....prob 80 percent of them are no better than tank......yet somehow these people expect tank to have a HOF resume already...simply because hes been around awhile

breaking news...its ok to be an active pro fighter and build your profile while also developing.....guys like spence and bud werent fighting world beaters at 26.....but you expect tank to...lol....he can develop and build his name at the same time.....nobody said because he started pro young he cant take the same career arc as many of the top p4p stars......but because of who he is you fgts have placed this expectation on him......or maybe its because of what teo did....and what teo did was awesome and i love him and respect him....but hes rare and and a general exception......teo knew that if he didnt demand and take a loma fight that his climb to startdom was going to be longer and slower.....

and tank has already approached team garcia....garcia talked all that sht to tank on facetime on the tyson podcast....team garcia said no..oscar isnt about to risk the face of his company, after he lost canelo, to tank already....we know that

its going to be great to watch tank break hearts over the coming years while arum wont allow his guys to fight him!

Literally you explained the exact reason why people hate PBC and why people hate you.

read the following and ill BOLD it for you.

literally are you too ****** to comprehend the fact that you cannot both be

The BEST at 130-135
BRAG that 130-140 runs through you
Be a WORLD champion
and hold reguar titles in other divisions

While still

Being GREEN
"DEVELOPING"

And talk about what kind of ****** ass hypocrite you are too. 3 or 4 years ago when Lomachenko was at 130 Tank Davis was SO AFRAID to fight Lomachenko and guys just like you cried, oh, he's so young, hes still developing! He's only 22 years old! He doesn't need to fight Lomachenko and now you literally have a built in excuse for him to not fight tough competition.

Yet here you and Tank are BEGGING to fight Ryan Garcia who's the EXACT SAME AGE he was when he was too afraid to fight Lomachenko. But isn't Ryan Garcia sooo green compared to Tank Davis 3 or 4 years ago.

What I see are a bunch of hypocritical cowards who don't care to be the best. Isn't that the PBC mantra? You don't need to be the best, just pretend you are so you can make that money right?

Hows ya boy Charlo doing over there at PBC? Still taking his career slow at 31 years old or you find out most of your favorite boxers are straight up cowards who don't care for the sport, their legacy, or their fans.

But nah, keep on clinging to your own fan boy delusions. You ask why people hate guys you like,, Floyd, Tank, and PBC. The answer is obvious, but someone as ****** as you couldn't possibly comprehend that fact.

Just say it. You don't want Tank to have tough fights. You just want him to keep fighting trash so you gave your own hero to root for. If he's winning you're winning. That's how pathetic people like you roll

I think that Tank should gradually move up to 140. I don't want to see him abusing his body like Adrien Broner did by carry too much weight on his smaller frame from jumping to one weight class to another weight class due to a lack of discipline. He should stay at 130 until his body completely fills out and matures. Then only should he move up to the higher weight classes like 135 and 140. I think he could cut down to 126 if he had to and win a title down there as well.

I think 130 is never coming back! I see him fighting @ 135! However, I want to see him fight the winner of Mikey vs. Prograis @ 140! That would be a huge payday, and worth going up in weight!

Now if he fights an elite fighter at 140 who is naturally larger and stronger than him and if he gets hurt and loses then it will ruin the rest of his boxing career. He is only 26 years old.

He has time to move up. Broner messed up by moving up too soon and campaigning in much larger weight division and it subsequently destroyed his career in the process. He was never the same after that Maidana fight and the kid was only 23 years old.

That's why Floyd is putting the brakes on his fighting Teo and Taylor at this time because they are both naturally bigger and stronger than him.

[F l i c k e r]

If he moved down and cleared both 130 and 135 simultaneously. That s/hit would be insane.

The only fight to make at 140 is for the undisputed unified champion status.

Whether that be Josh Taylor (currently) or if somebody beats Taylor for that right. But nothing else at 140 makes sense for him.

No value in low reward, high risk matches that don't even come with a world title.
