Comments Thread For: Gervonta Davis Is One Of Boxing's Biggest And Most Compelling Attractions

[Rodtang]

Nah, no need to split hairs, he’s a star and it extends beyond boxing. He has casual attention and that’s what makes him a star in American boxing. He’s in the driver seat now and he can fight whomever he likes. And it doesn’t require him to go to dayzin to do it

Nobody mentioned Dazn. Or going anywhere else for that matter. Cmon G stop being so obsessed with them lol. He's an attraction at the moment. But does he truly become a great of the sport? The Harlem Globetrotters are attractions, but they ain't winning the NBA. I'm not saying Davis can't become a great. In fact i think there's s strong possibility he will be. I just want to see if it can happen or not. Is that too much to ask?

What's Kambosos to someone who doesn't need the fake belts or any of the things you have mentioned? Nothing. I'm not seeing anything.

Davis claims to be a 3 weight champ. Do u agree

Do you respect the belts? I mean any belt. If so, he is.

Why are people more concerned about the number of people that bought tickets or ppv as opposed to the quality of opposition? Boxing is so backward. Fans have become so defensive they can't see what is clear to everyone else. I hope he realises this and leaves mayweather but its clear to me that's not going to happen

Because boxing is 50% entertainment/interest/income and 50% legacy. I don't see a problem with his career path one bit. He's still young. And he's not built like a guy that's going to jump up to 147 down the line. I'm not saying his resume is super either. But the man is still young. This is called a CAREER, people. There's nothing wrong with a man building his profile, making his name bigger and bigger, his wallet bigger and bigger. And THEN taking bigger fights. There's nothing horrible about having a Pedraza, Santa Cruz, Rolly, and Gamboa on your resume. Sure they're not there elites. But still they are quality wins. Every fight like this one (against Rolly) makes the next fight that much bigger. You are all impatient. The kid is moving his career just fine. And sooner or later, he'll get Garcia. Or he'll get Haney. And when they happen, he'll do even bigger numbers. AND he'll win and shut most of you up. If you expect him to fight all the big names by the time he's 29, you haven't watched boxing lately. It just don't work that way with any fighter.

Why not sign with Hearn, Arum, or Oscar to deliver the big fights fans are asking for?

Or...why not sign with PBC to make these same big fights happen. Besides, he would be an idiot to accept the same deal Devin accepted with Arum/TR and Hearn has no one for him to fight, as Garcia fights for Golden Boy. Meanwhile Tank is making the most money and is a bonified star which is something Garcia, Haney, Loma and surely Kambosos are not.

Okay, he is a star but when will he fight a top dog? When will he stop dodging Loma?

Hopefully. That's what the fans want at the end of the day. The best v the best. It doesn't happen enough in boxing these days unfortunately.

I dont respect interim, champ in recess, gold, franchise, etc. Those trinkets SHOULD be nothing more than a mandatory to the real championship belt holder. Unfortunately the wba, wbc love to rob fighters of money and in the process watered-down the meaning. The wba alone has over 40 belts in 17 weight classes.

I don't respect all of them. I think you are a GGG fan, right? Did you consider him a 'champion' when he held the belt Davis has at middleweight? Honesty. Davis is THE lightweight champion. Belts don't tell me shit. I despite them all equally.
