Comments Thread For: Bernard Hopkins Views Gervonta Davis as The Pound For Pound Best

i still believe Pedraza was his best win to date

[Smash]

the mystery of tank davis, is he the best, or top 10, or not top 10

[crimsonfalcon07]

Funny part about it is Tank is looked at as some big PPV star, but averaged about 250K for his five PPV fights prior to Ryan. But Usyk, who has never been below 250K, and has a much higher average PPV buy, is viewed as an unknown who isn't a draw. Double standards much?

I still wait him to face a top lightweight dog.

B-hop should stick to getting spun out of boxing rings by contenders!

[daggum]

no top 5 wins his entire career and hes the best...ok boxing. did he look the best against cruz who is not even good? so silly. loma and haney have a close fight...they both suck. tank has a close fight with an unknown hes da best! on top of everything hes creating his own divisions and draining every opponent or just figthing teeny tiny men. hes a disgrace but hopkins must want to get in his good graces

[Offensive Wizardry]

No.

Ability wise, he could be good enough to be a p4p fighter but he's nearly 30 and hardly fought anyone.

I'm not interested in potential ability. Im interested in them proving it against top fighters. Teo fights the likes of Loma and Taylor. Haney fighting Loma and Prograis etc.

They're younger men than Tank and taking on bigger challengers, especially far bigger than Tank was at their age 5 years ago.


Tank has the ability to beat these guys but he doesn't seem to be making any noise about fighting them.

Remember when Floyd said he talked to Top Rank about Tank v Loma a few years ago and Tank took to twitter slating his own team and said "my promoters are trying to get me beat".

That told me all I need to know about him. Fantastic ability with no great desire to trust test it against the best.

that's not p4p no.1 material, no matter how good he can be in the ring and I'm a big fan of his skills.

going the crawford route. he'll be mid to late 30s before he fights anybody threatening.

That wasn't so much Crawfords fault though. He cleaned out 140 but it wasnt a strong division then but he beat the best available at the time and that's about as much as you can ask from anyone.

At 147, the rest of the Welterweights didn't really want it and used promotional barriers to get out of the fight. We saw why when he was finally able to "cross the street".

Tank on the other hand cried on Twitter when Floyd talked about putting him in with Loma. You never hear any noise from Tank about wanting to clean out a division like Crawford has twice. He seems pretty content picking up WBA Regular titles and not really chasing champs in the divisions he fights in.

Crawford's route was mostly circumstantial. Tank's seems to be more calculated.

If people disagree with this, they’re simply fanboys

Pedraza is Tanks best win by far.

I also remember Tank saying he didn’t need Loma for his legacy.

thats ****ing insane.
