    Algieri trying to sell the possibility of an upset and Pauli trying to justify this is ridiculous. I wish a public figure would just come out and call it a sht fight because it is a sht fight. Roach is clearly not the best available opponent by a stretch. Davis is fighting Roach and Zepeda is fighting Farmer.....this is not acceptable, period.
    Zepeda and Davis should be fighting each other, instead of them fighting Roach, and Farmer.
    Farmers should stay on there farm, and roaches should get squashed if they're spotted in your home.
    All jokes aside Davis is going to decimate Roach, and Farmer is going to get beat on for as long as the fight has been scheduled for.
    The premise that Davis has fought a bunch of nobodies is completely false, he's beaten 8 undefeated fighters, and 7 former champions.
    Has he always fought the best available fighters in his division? No he has not! That doesn't mean that he's not one of the best champions in boxing.
    I remember when he first won the championship, there was talk about him facing off against Lomachenko in a unification bout.
    His promoter at the time Mayweather prevented that fight from taking place, knowing what would've probably happened.
    Ever since then fans have been skeptical about who Davis has been fighting, and what his promotional teams motives were.
    The fans myself included wanted to see him fight Lomachenko back then in 2017, not so much now, but even he would've been a better choice.
    From what I've read Lomachenko turned down that fight, and stating he won't fight again until 2025, that can't be held against Davis.
    Davis is a bit of a criminal, and if he doesn't straiten up his act, he will find himself where all criminals finally wind up.
    That aside Davis is a one punch knockout artist, which is very rare these days, he can box, has good stamina, and can take a good punch.
    That said he is a damn good champion, with highlight reel knockouts, he's just plain devastating in the ring,
    His detractors don't have to face him in the ring so they don't have to worry about his prowess in or out of the ring,

      Gervonta could F around & get old before the biggest fights like Shakur Teofimo & others. There are good lightweights out there & 140 too.

        Fuuc#king bullsh#t. The top guys in a division should be forced to box each other. It should be mandatory. Enough of the business side, behind the scenes bs. Enough is enough. It’s the same thing everytime. Do what’s good for the sport. Just give the fans what they want.

        Another PPV I won’t be buying.

          Still pay for tickets whenever possible...

            Polishing a turd.
            Why do you feel the need to polish it? Or is it Garry Jonas who feels that neeeeeed.

              Absolutely.
              I can't imagine there's anyone posting on these pages (or a true boxing fan anywhere, for that matter) who doesn't feel the same way.

                The only option for Tank was Teofimo Lopez @ 140! Lamont Roach? Nah, i'll pass!

                  They both would've gotten flack either way, but if given the alternate be pulling Roach up a division, I'd say even the likes of a DLS would've been better in hindsight.

                  No, doesn't change the fact that it would still be a letdown but the point being even DLS is a better opponent than Roach.

                      Tank vs Teo is a good matchup and it's a disgrace it's not being made.
                      My guess right now is that Tank stops Teo.
