Comments Thread For: Gervonta Davis' co-trainer: Tank vs. Shakur Stevenson isn't a 50-50 fight

[rickJen]

I'm still not getting what fans want for Tank's next fight. Okay, forget about Stevenson if you think he's pricing himself out and he's boring.
Who do you want Davis to fight next? Can we at least have an answer to this? Would you prefer to see him sit it out till next year comes?

Yeah, they talk as if Tank got tons of options.
Well, I can think of three PBC in-house fights for him. There's the Pitbull rematch or Valenzuela.
Make them come back down to 135. Then there's Edwin De Los Santos who I haven't heard of since his fight with SS.
Who else?

u would have thought that 2 guys labelled generational talents, one guy has given himself the current face of boxing title, both undefeated americans would be a good fight LOL & one that should be made no excuses allowed

[Poopdick]

That's probably why these media people are not covering the Shakur/Tank completely.
They assumed the Zepeda vs Shakur is on the bag. It is not. Last I've heard was Zepeda wanted ample rest from his last fight.
Then the negotiation has to commence and nobody knows when and it's not expected to be a walk in the park.

and because almost all these media members are on the take themselves.

boxing is funny, punchers think they will KO everyone until they dont & boxers think they will outbox u until something goes wrong one night, it happens when u step up in competition & usually not before, so get on with it..........

Your damn right its not 50/50!! Tank has no intention of fighting Shakur when he can EASILY make 135. Maybe in another year or two with a DEHYDRATION clause. LOL. Hes the biggest joke of boxing. Old man needs to retire.

All the haters on here talking crap about what he can't do, take your a-S to a gym and call him out then! Tank a beast and is a complete fighter with all the goods but this is a business also and of course he has advisors as well so dam what y'all want the man to do, he should secure his life and health before taking extreme risk, I would agree because non of you bastards will aid him when or if all goes wrong. Most will be making jokes on YouTube or some other form of social media so GTFOH! Gervonta is special with great talent and Shakur can box but is a bit over rated due to whom he has fought, dam who you call out, you not looking great against good fighters so don't feed me you're like some all time great, not yet! They both need each other but at the right time, i will happen.

Of course this isn't a 50/50 fight. The splits are about sells not skills. So, to me this is a 65/35 share in favor of Tank.

Shukur would be better out of selling hotdogs rather than selling a fight.

The only way Gervonta could defeat Shakur is if they have a very small ring where Stevenson can’t run so Davis can find him. That would be his only chance of stopping him within the distance.

So what you’re saying is Sugar Ray Leonard “ran” the whole fight in the rematch with Duran.

Seems clear Davis is not interested. As to the why, nobody knows. We can only speculate. So-called media can't even come up with anything let alone the average Joe's.

I agree with this (the bolded). And yes they do need each other. The sooner the better, there is a pecking order here and all the young guys ideally will fall in. This can only happen if they fight each other though.
