Comments Thread For: Report: Jake Paul and Gervonta Davis set for an exhibition bout in November

[Smash]

Just imagine if instead of taking that immediate rematch against Roberto Duran, that Sugar Ray Leonard decided to get into the ring with Hulk Hogan or Ric Flair instead.

Sugar Ray Leonard would have never become a legend.

Stick a fork in Tank. He's done!

tanks already a legend, at avoiding fights with top guys in his weightclass, different class

Roach exposed the babied hype-job …now Davis stoops to a new low. What a sham and a shame…Davis NEVER wanted to be great or fight for “legacy” and this just proves the point. Finally took a fight against a legit skilled fighter in his prime in Roach and got exposed, embarrassed, and booed the hell out of the ring.Davis padded record was full of b-level Hispanic fighters in showcase mismatches. Wont ever run it back against Roach…gotta protect the “0” til the end at all
costs!

Davis is the Chavez Jr. of the lower weight classes, but that might be too demeaning to Jr., because at least Jr. had the sack to fight other champion fighters.

Oh, you don't know what a legend is. Let me guess. I bet Adrien Broner is a legend too, huh.

This is both funny and hilarious. Actually, it's sounds too good to be true. The irony is that Gervonta Tank Davis has ducked and avoided all of the top and stiffest opposition for much of his career in and around his own weight division.

So what if he has defeated several titleholders. However, he has yet to challenge any elite fighters at 135 and now he wants us to believe that he wants all the smoke by fighting a much naturally larger, stronger and younger man in Jake Paul who is a heavyweight.

It would be very amusing if Jake Paul were to break rank and stiffs Davis by turning it into a real fight with real punches and knocks him out. I've never witnessed such cowardice from a uber talented and promising fighter like "Tank" Davis.

The Floyd blueprint was to become lineal king of four weight classes fighting top tier competition, THEN become a sideshow doing nonsense fights in his old age. Davis skipped the first part, having never even contended for a lineal championship in any weight division.

I agree and you are absolutely correct. Mayweather has fought elite competition throughout his career but Gervonta Davis has not. At age 47; Mayweather has done his time and have paid the price to do exhibitions at his current age.

Whereas, Davis has not. Tank still has a lot to prove. He has ducked all of the elite talent in and around his weight class for years against fighters like: Vasiliy Lomachenko, Shakur Stevenson, Teofimo Lopez and Devin Haney.

As much as I hate to admit it but we are all in denial. Unfortunately, all of us boxing fans are going to watch this bullshit; With myself included.

We've all tuned in to watch that farce of a fight with Jake Paul and Mike Tyson. It's because we all believed that we were going to get and see the old Mike Tyson back and knock this Jake Paul punk out.

However, all we saw was an old Mike Tyson.

Gonna play devils advocate here. Someone most likely offered Davis a ridiculous amount of money for this. If he loses he wins. If he wins he wins. He can retire easy after this and take no damage.

Tank cashing out! Hopefully Shakur can make this fight with Teo! 140 is officially #1 division in boxing! Andy Cruz might as well join them! More wood on the fire!

None of what you said has anything to do with stank. All you did is just drop a bunch of names that have nothing to do with this. Fvkcing clown.


. Or the comment below it. just stfu or say something that's relevant
