Comments Thread For: Gervonta Davis Won't Fight The Lightweights We Want Most Until Purse Demands Are Realistic

The ONLY way Tank gets the money he thinks he deserves is if he can convince the NON BOXING public that he’s worth watching.
U can’t get that unless your fighting BOXERS that the NON BOXING PUBLIC has heard of or wants to see them fight too. Its not that hard TO SEE.

Tank needs to fight better people. It’s as simple as that.

How many top 5 guys has he beat?

Hell, how many Top 10 guys has he beat? 2?

None of the lightweights are fighting the top fighters,

Only Lomachenko really.

only Loma is true Warrior In it for glory and the love of the sport.

Davis vs top 10 opponents (TBRB rankings)

W TKO 7 vs #7 Jose Pedraza
W TKO 11 vs #9 Mario Barrios

Cruz will be the third top 10 opponent at #6. Santa Cruz was unranked due to inactivity at the time they fought.

Zero top 5 opponents.

Davis vs legitimate former/current/future world titlists:
W TKO 3 vs Cristobal Cruz (0-4-1 in his previous 5 coming in; held the IBF featherweight title 5 years prior)
W TKO 7 vs Jose Pedraza (reigning IBF super featherweight champion)
W TKO 1 vs Hugo Ruiz (held WBC super bantamweight title 3 years prior)
W TKO 12 vs Yuriorkis Gamboa (former unified featherweight champion)
W KO 6 vs Leo Santa Cruz (four division titlist; reigning WBA (Super) super featherweight champion)

So whether you're looking at ranked contenders or belt holders, either way, you can count Tank's quality opponents on one hand. Pretty sad for a 27 year old going into his 26th fight.

Mostly he fought aged former champions well above their best weights, way after their primes.

This is pretty much what this Tank thing comes down to. Least this scumbag admits it.

Posters that hate black people are very upset that Tank works for a black owned company that is successful. They also hate it that the black owned company is marketing Tank to fans that don’t hate black people.

What really bothers this poster, who is Asian and supported Manny, is that black fans support boxers that are black.

Black fans are the only fans on nsb criticized for watching or being fans of boxers that look like them. Mexican, white, Asian, Puerto Rican , etc never face the same hate and vitriol when they do same.

why?

Notice this poster lied about what pbc had done for the sport and calls the black men that own the company crooks.

Tank could fight and defeat every great LW in their primes and posters like this will always be critical because they hate black people and hate to see them be successful.

There is nothing more that white supremacists hate than blacks controlling their own economics. This is EXACTLY why Europeans went after my peoples. I can recognise the same tactics 1000 leagues away. And the reality of WS is that one doesn’t have to be white to go full on into it. You nailed it with this post, this is what it all goes down to…anti black racism

I care as much about Tank as I do any other boxer. What I'm saying is that how he's being marketed is simply not true. Tank brings it on himself when he says dumb **** like "Canelo is me at lightweight—facts." I mean that's just ******ed. It's delusional. When has Tank unified a division? When has Tank actually fought for a world title at another division? (A real world title!) It's this delusional rhetoric from Tank and Mayweather that I criticize. I obviously think Tank is a fantastic boxer, which is why it's frustrating watching him constantly fight B-level opposition. More so with the crazy talk.

And it has nothing to do with race either. Maybe for a few people on this forum, no doubt. But it seems that nobody can talk about any fighter without people assuming it's based on prejudice.

What I find is interesting is that the race card is played whenever someone talks about or criticizes a PBC fighter. If I praise Crawford, I'm a PBC hater. If I talk about Keyshawn Davis being a next pound for pound fighter in a years time, than I'm biased. If I say something good about Lomachenko, then I'm biased. If I say something good about Chocolatito, then I'm biased. It's a lose lose thing on these forums.

I don't like how the PBC roll because it hurts boxing when you don't try to cooperate. Haymon won't even take Hearns phone calls. It's that type of attitude and policy that is keeping boxing from being where it should be.

This is the hypocrisy of tribal fans right here. Be totally honest, where was this “counter” energy when Hearn was trying to put Haymon out of business with his “American takeover” and statements that everyone had to sign with dayzin to fight dayzin fighters? Privilege? Entitlement?

sup sup. its about time I drop a comment here. 2 years ago, bubba said that you will No Longer follow Tank and call hi ma coward, IF he wont fight Loma by the end of 2021. Well its about time...nevertheless not just Loma, not other 135 top dogs are in his plans.

what you have to come up with now, big ?

stuff like Loma lost, or he doesnt have any titles doesnt work. whether he has em or not, he smokes Tank 10 out of 10 times and get him highest payday, including groupon sells. i called you a hater few times, but you tried to act like a real boxing fan..well here it is. what you have to say now, bubba? still think that your hyena is a lion in this game? )

I think I said 2022. I don't think he's a coward at all. Any knowledgeable fan knows Davis isn't afraid of Loma. I don't like the politics of boxing.

I would type it out, but this guy has beat me to the punch, laying it out in a very straightforward manner. I recommend that you watch:

I agree. Hearn even tried to steal PBC's most valuable African American boxers. People know when they see a snake oil salesman.

[BoxingIsGreat]

Davis would literally break Loma's tiny head in two. I'd like to see that fight.
