Comments Thread For: Gervonta Davis: The Good, The Grand And The Ugly

[Stab Master Arson]

Jeez-zus Chri..... when are you guys finally going to get it. No one in America cares if anyone outside of this country thinks about Tank or any other fighter. No American athlete is concerned a out his popularity overseas. No American athlete is dreaming about fighting in the UK or Saudi. Conversely, 99% of world wide boxers dream about fighting in Vegas, NYC or LA. Thousands of you guys are in the US getting trained by Americans while dreaming g on getting on an American card and making enough money to move their entire family to the States and never returning to their homeland. Sorry guys not trying to be a Homer but those are just facts. Deal with it pumpkin!

Your opinion is not a fact. This is very basic stuff.

99% of world wide boxers dream about fighting in Vegas, NYC or LA

This is you literally making **** up. Absolutely delusional.

I meant he's a nobody everywhere but America. To become a global star you absolutely need to beat multiple top fighters. Gervonta has no great wins.

Its extremely rare a boxer will hit a global level there is probably only a handful in history that everyone knows, inside of the boxing sphere he is a global star, which is why the Saudis are interested, I agree Id love to see him fight the other WCs and big names around his division, hopefully the mounting pressure makes it happen after the Martin fight.

Isn't that kind of the premise of the article? Despite his ability he isn't the star type, so not as popular or famous as he should be (relative to his success and talent).

Did you read it? Some quotes from within from various people, including the writer.

he has emerged alongside Saul “Canelo” Alvarez as the fighter the world most wants to see.

Besides Canelo, and arguably one, maybe two, other big names, Tank’s the biggest fighter in the sport.

He’s the most exciting fighter in the entire world, so everybody is gravitating towards that. Everybody wants to come and see that guy.

but it was Davis – apparently carefree despite the threat of time in prison hanging over him – who without even trying generated the almost-indefinable energy that only the most memorable showpeople can, and to the extent that to experience the atmosphere and excitement that evening was to be reminded of descriptions of that surrounding Mike Tyson at his era-defining peak.

Hence my post.

he only sells 90k to 110k ppvs here. NOBODY that isn't a pretty big boxing fan knows him in U.S. either.

The mere fact that you choose 'poop****' as a name tell me everything I need to know (or don't want) about you. Ewww!!!

[DClefthook]

There is a reason Tank is not top P4P. No names or accolades.

"No names"??? Ryan is only one of about 5 US fighters in the last ten years that can do successful PPVs. Pitbull Cruz may possibly be on the cusp of doing successful PPVs. Barrios is a WW champ. Leo was one of the biggest names in boxing for years. So was Gamboa. "No names"???

Please let someone else praise Keyshawn DaviS...not you. It's only a matter of time before you start using decoded code words like "runner" "thug" "chicken"

Yes he has. He also has quality wins.

Undefeated Pedrazza ( before Loma)
Walsh
Santa Cruz at 130
Barrios at 140
Pitbull
Ryan @ 136

He also has the aging vets to make a name off of- Gamboa, Ruiz, Cuellar-like almost all top.
few them dudes brought up from lower weights. and NONE of them are a level guys. Just pbc hyped guys man. and I don't count old cookers man. I talking about top guys competing with one another. not a weight drained Instagram model. Teo, Shakur, Loma. they were all there with Tank and he wanted fight those pbc guys. and you gotta atleast see that when those pbc guys step up to real competition and stop with the kinda guys you listed. they lose. anyway like I said, enjoy that guy you like. I like guys lime Usyk etc who wanna be tested. not the kinda guy's alot you ppl on here get on. I know the game and how

It is what I keep reminding my American brothers here ALL the freaking time.
Sadly, many of them could not point the U.K. on a map.

They can't do that in the US. Maybe together, but not separate. Like when Fury fought Wilder and Joshua fought Ruiz.

He will be fighting Jake Pual(big name) Next ? I meant big names as in big names that are known for great boxing skills example Loma. Leo was a 126 pounder, Ryan was weight drained and added a rehydation clause, Barrios also had rehydration clause and was already struggling to make 140, he still is a no names.. You need to admit he hasn't fought the best outhere, he just got the WBA title sent by E-Mail after Haney vacated the belt, that is weak.

Pitbull wasnt even a name when Davis fought him. Pitbull looked horrible vs Cabrera. Pitbull beat one of the worst champions in Rolly, after Rolly was gifted a 140 title by the help of the ref vs a 50 year old grampa.
