    Gervonta Davis has a lot of potential.

    Badou Jack probably isn't going to last long at LHW. Too many HW hitters up there.

      Mayweather being visible and even controversial was a good move. He's a polarizing figure and adds excitement to the post fight drama.
      I'm not big on drama so it's not the kind of thing that draws me in but I'll be honest and say his presence is "Money" for the show.

        I still remember that fight where Jack got blitzed on Shobox, amazing to see how far he has come. It just goes to shows that even a bad knockout loss can lead a guy to being a much better fighter.

          Mayweather put the money up to get his guy a shot and it paid off big time. But this is how stars are born, we have to stop with the "HE HAVEN'T FOUGHT ANYBODY" GARBAGE more young guys need to take chances like that and more Promoters need to stop cuddling their guys 0

          Yeah I was wrong I thought it was too soon and too big of a leap vs a very SKILLED guy but Davis fought Mature beyond his years and was more than ready for the challenge. Glad I was wrong in this case!

          Mayweather is a little overbearing as a Promoter lol but he draws attention from Mainstream media and a Crowd which is great for his fighters!

              J'Leon Love. He's been fighting bs guys with double digit losses for the last year & a half. I think Love gots one foot out the door & I've seen some people suggest he's all but out of boxing.

              And if anyone remembers Floyd threw him into the Rosado fight when Rosado was fresh from GGG. Floyd don't f#ck around too much with his guys. They prove themselves or they become also rans real quick.

                Linares got way better movement, skill, combinations than Pedraza.

                    And look for Saul Rodriguez to get thrown into a big fight this year to to see how for real he is. Supposedly he's gonna headline the Mayweather Promotions card on Showtime next month. Plus Floyd is opening a gym in Russia where there is a ton of talent right now. Mayweather Promotions looking a lot better & with a better future than they've ever looked.
                    Freedom and his crew must be looking like this now...

                      Davis was great tonight. Obviously he doesn't need to be rushed to fight the best fighters in the division but it will be good to watch him make some defences against decent opposition this year.

                      Jack is a much improved fighter. How he will do at 175 will be interesting to see but i think he will be a good addition to that division.

                      One thing i like about Floyd as a promoter is that he isn't afraid to put his fighters in good tough fights. Floyd himself might have had the luxury of picking opponents at the end of his career but he didn't get any easy route through the game and it's good to see his fighters are earning it too.

                      Yep he even had Theophane fighting Broner for a title shot
