Comments Thread For: Gervonta 'Tank' Davis Relinquishes Secondary WBA 140-Pound Title, Will Remain At Lightweight

Or they should just strip him of it, it’s a paper title. The idea the the real belt holder should have to fight the paper champ to dissolve a made up title is ridiculous

100% agreed.

Man, these ABC orgs are still out of control.

i think the real question here is WHO CARES? he relenquished because he was going to be facing a mandatory against Josh Taylor. he knows that he would get anhilated (probably wouldnt see the end of 5th round) - see the little bi**h run....
PBC will never put their biggest fraud, the paper tank, in against anyone serious, in any division - they know exactly what would happen to him. almost everyone would see what a fraud he is then. SEE PAPER TANK RUN, that will be the result of any mandatory with anyone serious (I cant recall a more accomplished runner, he has already run from everyone serious in 3 divisions)... to help everyone understand, GO to paper tanks boxrec page. only 2 names which are even recognizable - one way past his prime when paper tank fought him and the other two weight divisions above where he had any achievements. thats all the paper tank can handle. if PBC were confident that he could handle anything else, you can be sure that we would have seen better matchups by now... this needs to be called out. just dont pay for this type of nonsense that PBC puts on most of their cards - its the only way we will ever get the best matchups in boxing....

I thought the WBA got rid of those? Why are they still around to even be “relinquished”? Or did Tank have a chance to fight Taylor for the real title and he is instead relinquished the “regular” belt? If so, that would funny. I mean Tank will probably miss weight in his next 135lb fight.

With that said, the better names are at 135. But idk how you can avoid the chance to fight Josh Taylor for all the belts. I guess he doesn’t think he can win? Or he just can’t fight him soon enough because of Taylor vs Catterall?

...or Floyd doesn't want to do business with Arum, and it's not like Floyd is going to send Davis over to ESPN. Remember that Floyd said he's only looking to make in-house fights.

Taylor would destroy Davis anyway. That man best stay at LW.

LMFAO...Taylor kills this kid and his stuttering ass knows it. Hell,I give Rougarou a great shot at beating him too!

Mayweather/Ellerbe are well aware that any of the top guys at 140 would be way too much for Tank. It's his lack of size will always be at the crux of his ability,or inability,to compete any higher than 135. He's no Canelo. Taylor,Jose and Victor with thier height/reach alone would be too much for Tank,let alone thier skills. Regis,Chon and Mikey although not as long/big as the former,they're still too big and strong for little Tank. There's a reason they went with someone like a Barrios...

Get rid of the WBA once and for all! Useless sanctioning body that gives fighters a false sense of entitlement and/or confidence.

So then no Kambosos, Haney or any of the other relevant players at 135? Then what the hell is the point of staying at 135? What are they doing with this kids career

Either Floyd allows Davis to fight off PBC island or he pays the top 135lbers what they're asking for. Floyd is accustomed to being the A-side who dictates everything, but having that mindset as a promoter will ultimately hurt his stable.

Even when they are trying to get rib of the Regular belts WBA still fails . They order Ugas to fight 2 Mandatories but Tank gets an easy pass?
