Comments Thread For: Ellerbe: Gervonta Davis Will Be The Next Superstar in Boxing

[Thutch2412]

It will be a long time before boxing see's Superstar fighters like Floyd and Manny were the last 10 years tbh with you. I don't see many fights out there even good ones that would break 1 million PPV buys at this point. I honestly think the PPV model/landscape will dwindle almost completely next year honestly, as it should.

No point in putting a fight on PPV for $50 bucks to only sell around 150-200K at most imho.

If Canelo vs GGG doesn't produce which I'm skeptical it would break 1 million right now, then I see the PPV model going down the drain in the next year or two.

yeah maybe even tank vs leo or tank vs gary russell in 2018 if they move up... he is a naturally soft spoken kid so he still hasnt mastered the art of talking loud into the mic lol.....

Yeah lol he would kill Leo or Rusell Jr lol!

I want to see him and Berchelt at it the most! That's a fight he needs, someone who's tough enough to take his shots and deliver some hard ones as well but not fast enough and has experience!

I wished he had Big Baby's personality, that guy be having me cracking up!

Same here. Lomachenko, too, sometime next year.

Yes, he can become a global star if he continues fighting outside of his home country on certain occasions. The same can be said of Errol Spence. Yep fight at home every so often, but real World champions aren't afraid to travel & broaden their horizons. "Good luck to him"!!!................

I THINK LEO AND GARY WOULD BOTH GIVE HIM HARD FIGHTS BUT I COULD BE WRONG.... BUT TANK HAS GONE THROUGH A LOT... HIS PARENTS WERE DRUG ADDICTS AND HE WAS TAKEN AWAY BY THE STATE... HE HAD TO LIVE IN FOSTER HOMES..... HE HAS A LOT OF PAIN AND ANGER INSIDE AND HE KEEPS IT BOTTLED UP... THATS WHY HE IS SOO MEAN AND VISCIOUS IN THE RING..... HERE IS A UNDER ARMOUR VIDEO HE DID... THEY HAVE A LOT BETTER QUALITY MICS FOR THIS ONE CHEK IT OUT HERE IS THE LINK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2SBTSti0rg

Doubt it happens next year, I see Davis vs Loma in 2020 most likely!

Loma has next year to gain back the trust of fans, fights at 130 that should be easy to make aren't cuz TheBobFather keeps underpaying solid opponents who have every right to baffle at what they feel isn't their value For The fight!

Berchelt will be out to next year and so is Vargas!
Tank likely won't fight till next year after his next fight!.

That leaves Corrales or Salido

I seen that and I'm aware of some of the things he's been thru which is horrible and in a way is what helps be the fighter he is today!

You right, the way the kid punches his opponents is with evil intentions!

He throws haymakers but he's so fast and explosive that if he misses he has another one coming probably faster than the one he missed with!

I respect your opinion on a Davis vs Santa Cruz and Davis vs Russell Jr fight!

I just think he has more things for them to worry about than vise versa!

With Russel he has to worry about the right hand and the hand speed but he can negate that with his jabs and digging to the body as well as taking the fight on the inside!

With Leo it'll be tougher due to the reach , experience and his pressure!

Leo has learned in his last fight on how to finally use his reach advantage which would make it a tough fight for Davis but I think Tank will just walk him into bodyshots and deplete his engine then start landing that left hook!

Either way I would watch both fights but I think Davis will move up by the time both guys move up to 130!

Either of these, or both, to stay busy. Not sure how long he'll stay at 130 (he's getting too big for it), but I would love to see a fight against Mikey sometime next year at 135 or 140.

superstars have to fight all comers or at least have the appearance that they will. Floyd got flack for ducking (even though he really ended up fighting all his rivals) but really took the toughest fights he could at the toughest times when he was coming up at 130 and 135. De la Hoya fought everyone as well. Gervonta is already sayig why the time is not right to fight Lomanchenko; I guarantee if you ask Lomanchenko, he'd say he wants the fight.
That's the difference. Fans aren't going to get behind you as much if they think you're cherry-picking right from the start

agree with all your points man....tank vs mares or tank vs jo jo diaz and valdez are all good fights also.. I think tank beats all 3 of them...

Yeah tank missed a left hook on pedraza and by the time he turned his head the other one dropped him into the ropes lol.....
