Comments Thread For: Gervonta Davis Wants 3 Fights In 2023, With Third Bout Being Either Stevenson Or Haney

That's what caught my attention in this piece as well.Pretty odd mind set to have in any competitive sport or endeavor when the whole premise of sports/competition is to compete and prove yourself the best. I think the early financial success against sub par competition brought on a complacency he's finally pulling out of so good for him. I believe he's in for a rude awakening come April 15 but like the saying goes,better to have tried and failed than not have tried at all

He's learned it from Mayweather. When he used to say "all roads lead to Floyd Mayweather" it was a way of avoiding calling anyone out.

I think Davis stops Haney late but loses clearly to Stevenson if the fights we’re to happen.

That 3rd fight foso wont be against Stevenson or Haney…PBC rules and guidelines disqualify any opponent for Davis without the all important Hispanic last name. And too much of a challenge and risk for Davis to face a black fighter with elite speed and boxing skills like Stevenson, and to a lesser degree Haney.

There haven’t been many good black American fighters In the past 30 years. That’s why the few good ones fight Hispanics and Europeans. Most of the guys on top are Hispanic or Europeans are on top. Black American fighters win almost all of the controversial decisions and are protected by the referees to get them to the decision. Hence clinching only being allowed by certain fighters. If you think otherwise, you’re delusional. Why do you think guys like Spence and Tank get placed on the pound for pound list when they win their first title? Tank was on it before winning a title. It’s not that any one race is better, it’s just a coincidence that the top guys since the late 80s have been either Hispanic or European.

Greatest MMA fighters of all time?
Frank Shamrock Mexican Hispanic
Henry Cejudo Mexican Hispanic
Anderson Silva Black Hispanic
Jon Jones Black American
Khabib Eastern European
GSP European Canadian
Connor McGregor Irish European

'And too much of a challenge and risk for Davis to face a 'black' fighter' .............you sound just like a redneck but just the opposite. And the 'beauty' is you don't even see it...no more bollocks from you!

This may be the dumbest thing ever posted on here and that is saying a lot.

Roy Jones
Floyd Mayweather
Bernard Hopkins
Evander Holyfield
James Toney
Pernell Whitaker

All probably top 10 p4p over the last 35 years.

Interesting viewpoint. I don't see it particularly as a race issue but what is bothering me is that obvious fights are not getting made. That said, we should celebrate those fighters who challenge themselves either by moving up and taking difficult fights at the higher weight ( Inoue and loma) not just to get a belt (Broner) OR taking on all challengers in a division - huge shoutout to Jermell Charlo. and Usyk at CW and Taylor at 140 and looking like Bam Rodriguez who realised he left something on the table at 112 and has gone back down there to hopefully fight Edwards.

You the only one on this entry site who apparently has his “panties in a wad” over the use of “BLACK” fighter. Does the term BLACK lives matter also get em in a wad. I “dont see it”? Who else sees “IT” but lonely you on this site?? And btw - am 100% Hispanic, and in case u didn’t notice - my favorite fighter of all time is a black legendary fighter - Hagler.
