I'm picking Garcia in this fight, he has the power and boxing ability to take Tank to a UD. 8-4 with some shaky moments.

[Roadblock]

I feel Davis catches him hard because Mikey is too one-dimensional, and Davis is too explosive, most guys are at a big disadvantage being short, with Davis it helps his cause big time because he gets in close fast.

One dimensional isn't the word I would use to describe Mikey, more like basic, but very fundamentally sound.

[El Más Loco]

Both career ducks. Mikey avoided all the top competition throughout his career and sold his 0 in a no-hope fight vs Spence to cash out........Gervonta has avoided every reasonable threat in his division(s) to pick up meaningless secondary belts.

If they were to fight I hope they would both KO each other at the same time and by some weird unknown Queensberry rule they both get an L.

Garcia is past it. He also aint going below 147 again.


but ignoring that I dont see davis jumping to 147 in the next two years... davis is the better fighter at this stage by far.

But on showtime they call him a 5 time world champion or something. I think the only legit belts he picked up was the ibf and the wba that Santa cruz had.

If its hypothetical....i'd say a 235 pound Mikey Garcia beats down a 114 pound Gervontae Davis over nine 2 minute rounds for a unanimous split decision loss.

The TR Garcia starts favourite, the PBC Garcia does not. Garcia lost the hunger man, he looked a potentially special fighter at 126 and 130. He never looked the same after his hiatus IMO. Just looked like a fighter waiting to cashout and that’s what he did against Spence.

Yup. Tank has only been a real champion at 130 when he beat Pedraza and then again when he beat Santa Cruz.
