It’s interesting that Keyshawn Davis and Ernesto Mercado, two excellent prospects from the same amateur class, have taken such different professional paths. Keyshawn Davis is now a bona fide contender who was featured on ESPN in a sold out main event from his home town. Davis chose to proceed with his bout despite his opponent weighing in 7 lbs. above his contract weight. It was a good decision — Davis delivered a spectacular 2nd round KO. On the same weekend, Ernesto Mercado, still a prospect, declined to fight on a Boots Ennis undercard in Philadelphia because his opponent came in 7 lbs. above the bout contract weight. The choices people make shapes their lives forever.
