Comments Thread For: Gervonta Davis: "I'm Already A Legend"

[Smash]

this might actually be good for tank because people often tune in to see bragging guys hoping they get beat and have to eat humble pie, the downside is these guys are often risk averse

[QballLobo]

He’s more likely to be Adrian Broner 2.0 than an all time great.

[elfag]

these ***ing guys i swear

so hard to be a fan because its so hard to find any boxers worth a ****

like i really want to like davis but god damn dude you aint beat nobody. youre not a legend because you beat ***ing rolly.

[Teetotaler69]

He's not a legend now, even if he foresees himself as one.
He can go on to become a legend, though.

Why people are shltting on someone for being confident is beyond me.

I can tell comprehension isn't your strong suit

Meh.....
So called fight fans need to lay off complaining so much.
If he turns out to be a dud, the next Broner or Lacy, so be it.

But can ''fight fans'' please give a guy the chance to fail ?!?!?

I think it might be when "fight fans" became Fight Fans.
28 fights in 10 years?
Not fighting the best in any division he's won a title in?
Sorry.
I think he's got talent but he has a long way to go.

Again, let's let him fail.

Tank has the POTENTIAL to be a legend but currently as of now…Nah.

[BodyBagz]

A guy can be a humble, smiling guy
or a boastful, ''arrogant'' guy

Both have the same exact record fighting the same level of opponent

9x10, that humble guy will be the fan favorite

Of course it doesn't make sense

I’m not putting a slant on anything. The article mentioned a bunch of things and then slapped a quote that was out of context from All Access episode at the end. I was clarifying the use of the quote. Tank is on record saying he has a lot more to do in the sport including, fighting Shakur, Haney, etc.

Secondly, successful in life is different than success in boxing. Making it in boxing is not like going to college and becoming a doctor. If you can’t acknowledge that much…then there’s no debate.

And yes, Baltimore is a very unique city when compared to the majority of cities in the country- and The Wire highlighted that very well. But it’s not just coming from there, it’s his life story. He’s not supposed to be where he is, period. He’s one of the last ones, literally, still alive that made it out. Included in that is his Coaches own son that got murdered, a former ammy boxer.

Lastly, I come from 80’s NYC…I pay homage to anyone that comes out of those environments and makes it to the top of the boxing game. If the man wants to say he’s a legend already in his city…what’s the problem? Why is that triggering? Shakur can say the same thing already as well. Not a legend in the game but a legend in life. Learn to celebrate people’s life and yours will be much happier.

What are people saying about you in your community?

Success in boxing, is success in life, because it's what he has chosen to do with his life. Nobody is denying that he is not successful. But being a legend, because he's successful? So is every successful person a legend? Clearly that must be the case for Baltimore, because if you're statistical analysis is correct, Baltimore sounds like the most unsuccessful place around. He's not a legend. Id imagine there are plenty of other successful people from there. And Davis is just one of them. But he's no legend. Not for making a success of his life, and most definitely, not in a boxing ring. And he's still just a kid, so it's far too early for him to make such claims. He's nowhere near that status as a boxer, and as a person making it out of Baltimore, well let's just wait and see. Because his track record with the law suggests he's anything but a legend, and all that success will be ripped away, if he can't learn to toe the line. Perhaps he can keep himself from those pitfalls, if he trys to stay focused on his boxing career, and actually focuses on legitimately obtaining true legendary status. After all it's the only shot he's got it seems, for one coming out of Baltimore. Self proclaimed legends, very rarely become legends. Except for making fools of themselves.
