No, Roach was moving up in weight, already had a draw and a loss on his record, and only had 1 win against world titlist tier opposition.
Davis has still never faced anyone ranked in the top 3 by the TBRB in the division he fought them in at the time of the fight. He is the most shameless cherrypicker this sport has seen since Sven Ottke.
He ducked the Isaac Cruz rematch and he ducked the Lamont Roach rematch because he underestimated both guys. It's as simple as that.
And Cruz isn't even good himself.Comment

They need to bring that bs to the WWE.Comment

So. That means he’s a bad opponent? Come on that is crazy harsh.
We agree his resume could be better. Roach imo was a solid opponent that got criticized only because he was fighting Tank and the assumption was he would win.
NSB imo does that garbage too much. Basing an opponent ‘a quality on how much you like or dislike the a side/main boxer is ridiculous.
He hasn’t fought either of them yet. Relax. He thought he got a chance to make a huge payday with Paul. Any one would take that.Last edited by The Big Dunn; Today, 01:36 PM.Comment

This exhibition is a joke. Paul why don't you fight a real opponent?
And Tank why don't you give Roach a rematch?
I wish more Real Men, like Crawford and Canelo, existed!Comment

Can't believe that Jake once said he wanted to be taken seriously. W-T-F!!! A 58 year old, an unrated blown up and washed up 160 pounder in Chavez, and now a lightweight exhibition! What a total fraud!Comment

Everything happens in context. Roach was a guy he brought up from a lower weight class with few accomplishments and he took that fight instead of any ranked contenders in his own division. I'm not saying Roach is a bad fighter but there's absolutely no case for him deserving the Davis fight over the other belt holders at 135.
Then he was handed a draw in one of the most blatant cases of corruption the sport has ever seen, then he ducked the rematch.
He literally shot himself in the ass like Elmer Fudd when Bugs Bunny bends the barrel of his gun back around, then chased after a disgusting sideshow instead of taking the rematch.
He's about to turn 31 years old and he has never unified. He has never fought a top 3 opponent. He has shamelessly ducked the rematch in his two most controversial fights. He slapped Ryan Garcia with a catch weight even though Davis himself was a WBA secondary belt holder at 140.
At what point does it become okay to point out that Davis has spent his entire career avoiding big challenges? He's the guy all the delusional Floyd haters pretend Floyd was, only for real.
Cristobal Cruz, Leo Santa Cruz, Hugo Ruiz, Yuriorkis Gamboa? All ridiculous cherry picks.
His career peaked with the Pedraza fight. After that he was completely done taking any risks at all and it's pathetic.Comment

We agree the decision was bad. Roach was a champion moving up. He deserves some more respect even though he wasn’t @ 135.
Not disagreeing with that. He did have a fight with Loma lined up then Loma retired.
My issue isn’t criticism of Tank. My issue is framing Roach as bad because he was in with Tank.
Those aren’t all cherry-picks. Come on. Just because he is better than them doesn’t make them cherry picks.Last edited by The Big Dunn; Today, 01:54 PM.Comment

The time to fight Lomachenko was in the several years preceding Loma's decline, injuries, and retirement. There was a years-long window for that fight to take place and Davis only started to act like he wanted it when he knew Loma had nothing left to give. Sort of like Canelo waiting 4 years and dragging GGG up another weight class before finally taking the trilogy.
And if not Lomachenko, then literally any unification at any point in his entire career. But Davis never unifies, because those fights are risky.Comment
