Comments Thread For: Gervonta Davis Claps Back At Shakur Stevenson: 'He Doesn't Have Power, I Hit Like A Strong Cruiserweight'

Hits like a cruserweight but wants catchweight against Ryan Garcia.

Gamboa wouldn't have reached the 12th round on an injured foot if you hit as hard as a cruiserweight.

‘He Doesn't Have Power, I Hit Like A Strong Cruiserweight’

So says the less than elite competition that he has faced, and his baby's momma.

Yap, yap, yap, let's see some of that power before you turn 35 against some truly elite competition.

Tank is a monumental talent, but his net-worth is just barely over 2 million dollars.

What has Mayweather and PBC been telling him all this time, and why?

Where will his career be in another year or 2?

In the Tank, that's where.

Same can be said about Davis, be honest who has he been an underdog against other than against Pedraza, so realistically "who has he beat that he shouldn't have, really! no household names to me just basic MF'ers he should have beat."

He's feasting on Mexicans and his promotional outfit(s) are tricking naive fans with the secondary title BS, until he fight some real names at 35 himself he's "done absolutely nothing" just like Shakur.

you obviously can’t see because his wins are devastating where as Shakur has look boring as *** even to former fighters such as myself. I’m speaking of the look and Gervonta has fought heavier also and is a very small dude but won against a Jr Welterweight in devastating fashion so next time you want to compare check your facts! Shakur doesn’t even try to look for a ko or show signs of being aggressive at all, just good defense and solid composure. That’s it!

Shakur beats Tank - which is why the fight never happens. Shakur has been built properly in the pro ranks, matched against a better variety of opponents at the right time. It'll continue the trend of Top Rank fighters beating PBC fighters - more than 90% of the time, the TR fighter wins.

Whereas Tank's resume is full of lower quality opposition, and even then he was giving up rounds to an inexperienced prospect like Rolly Romero.

Training consistently with Crawford and Ward doesn't hurt either. People are getting confused with his young antics out of the ring which need to be corrected. Stop the street fights and hanging around dice games.

These 3 (Davis, Shakur, and my guy Haney) will obviously talk shlt to each other but probably not fight, at least for a while.

Yeach, you're probably right. Haney and Stevenson won't happen at 135 and making Davis against either of them is going to be difficult.

“Why [is Stevenson] talking like he's the best? He didn't even fight at 135 yet. He didn't even have power at 126 or 130 or none of that,” Davis told Luke Thomas of the Morning Kombat.

I agree with Tank here! To call the division overrated is disrespectful for a guy who hasn't even fought in the division yet! The fact that Pitbull & Zepeda have already swerved him does kind of help his argument, but until he fights a Top 5 LW, he might want to calm down just a bit.

Meanwhile Shakur has won pretty much every single round he has fought in the pros.

I don’t keep up with all the politics of it but history shows the top American talents sometimes don’t want to fight each other in recent times.

Kev - we’ll know a little bit more after he fights Ryan and Shakur. I think Tank is a very good fighter, but his resume is pretty pedestrian to be honest. His biggest win would arguably be Pedroza , who is a darn good fighter, but also far from a great fighter. I’m glad Davis seems to be stepping up his opposition and if he follows through on these two fights after Saturdays fight you have to give him his props.

I agree with what you’re saying BUT Garcia ISNT a step up. Who is??— Haney, Shakur, Teo, Jermaine Ortiz then Loma LAST.
We all know why he has never fought Loma. Of course he will now.
His power is NOTHING to a real boxer with decent power.
