Comments Thread For: Who's Next For Gervonta Davis? 'All Of Them'

[Haka]

None of them.

Tank is looking P4P more and more. Can't forget Bam Rodriguez, Inoue, Usyk, Crawford, Canelo, etc. All top fighters. Hard to pick #1 out of this group.

all those guys have beaten #1 guys except tank. how are they in the same league? his best win is over a #5 guy(who never beat a top 10 guy) "looks" is the key word. its just marketing and hype. hes knocking guys out! oh just like wilder...is he fighting top guys? no...just like wilder. great fantasy fighter though. hardest puncher ever though. he had an even fight with cruz as well so he wasnt looking so great there. maybe cruz is p4p #2?

So, Tank beats Ryan & all I get is 'Ryan was dead at the weight", he beats undefeated Frank Martin & all I get is 'Frank was dead at the weight". When he beats Lomachenko, at least no-one will be saying Vassily was dead at the weight, will they? Tank deserves some respect & won't get any from some folks around here.

are you saying garcia wasnt completely drained? do we have to cite the catchweights and rehydration clauses attached to the fight for you? the undefeated martin lol. yeah hes undefeated because he has never fought a top 10 fighter. martin wasnt dead at the weight just completely unproven. not sure how you can say otherwise??? name his top 10 wins please. why would you respect tanks resume? his debilitating opponents? his ducking of the top guys for 7 years now? some folks just dont have any standards for fighters. they pick a guy and thats the guy they like no matter what they do or in tanks case dont do. you talk about him like hes a top fighter...hes not. that was the whole goal. build up a guy with soft opposition and pretend hes with the best or even better than them. he does not have the substance for you or anyone to make that claim. its ridiculous. imagine this in any other sport:

2017 an nba team says they are the best but refuses to play the best. are they the best? no.
2018 an nba team says they are the best but refuses to play the best. are they the best? no.
2019 an nba team says they are the best but refuses to playthe best. are they the best? no.
2020 an nba team says they are the best but refuses to play the best. are they the best? no.
2021 an nba team says they are the best but refuses to play the best. are they the best? no.
2022 an nba team says they are the best but refuses to play the best. are they the best? no.
2023 an nba team says they are the best but refuses to play the best. are they the best? no.
2024 an nba team says they are the best but refuses to play the best. are they the best? yes? guess they wore you down simply by saying it for long enough

oh yeah and tank became champion in early 2017. look how long its been...

It’s hard to respect a man who hits women.

tank is like some uber fantasy matchup guy u would want in a fantasy boxing league, he beats all, doesnt matter if he fights them or not, noone can handle the powa

if the shoe was on the other foot and some other guy was getting this tank treatment im sure they would be the first to scream, well who the hell has he fought lol, just another hype job seen it all before etc etc

And leaves the scene of an accident where he didn't even see if anyone was ok after the accident he caused.

[Oregonian]

nah

loma is the fight right now i would say

would be a good style matchup and loma is still a nice test, any older and that might not be the case so its probably now or never possibly

shakur, i mean mentally im not sure about him at times, will he retire again in a hissy fit, he seems a bit up and down, a good performance or 2 will give him the up and then fight tank if he comes through loma

———
“Loma is still a nice test”?? Tank is about to turn 30 years old. How is he still getting tested instead of stepping up and unifying the 135 division like Loma was and is doing?

How is beating Loma better than beating Shakur?

How many boxers have “retired” and “unretired”? Floyd did it many times, Teo did it too

loma is on a good run v haney and kambo, 2 decent performances, its a good time for the fight and given his age the best remaining time for loma actually

shakurs stock is not quite as high at the moment as lomas is & shakur is much younger so plenty of time for a tank shakur matchup in the future

just my thoughts

[Oregonian]

The Shakur fight isn’t going away and will only get bigger the longer it marinates whereas is 36 and not getting any younger. Better to make the Loma fight first.

————
Fighting Loma is an indication and affirmation that Tank is cherry-picking fights. It need not be that way. Fight Shakur and then unify the division against all the title holders

[vitruvian]

I'm fine with either Shakur or Loma next. Not like we all won't be watching whoever it ends up being. After those two dudes it's time to go up to 40 and fight Teofimo. That should be the trajectory no matter the order.
