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

[aceventura]

he's been ordered to fight dmitry bivol.

he can unify with wilder if he has the balls... But he wants to fight another tomato can bum on ppv... He fought martin on ppv, he fought molina on ppv, he fought brazeale on ppv now pulev on ppv.... Lmfao what a sad joke...

They appear to have him taking classes. I hate seeing boxers struggle speaking. As far as the top competition he's 22 and just fought 2 bigger undefeated ranked champions back to back. Why are people ignoring that about Davis? Is it because he beat them with ease? Pedraza stopped Farmer and many picked him to win against Davis. imo I think they should take their time let him grow b4 moving him up so fast

I was hoping he could fight Salido next and not Farmer. I thought it was the perfect fight for him at this stage-Salido is a tough awkward vet and is top 5 or 6 in the division.

IMO it hurts a young boxer's development if he doesn't fight progressively better opponents. I see no need to fight a guy that lost to a guy you beat, but with Salido out I guess its Farmer or Martinez next.

yeah i agree... Its a natural process... He did a showtime interview during the mikey vs broner fight... That one was a bit better...

True, I saw that and it was a bit better. He needs to keep the work up because he appears to be a guy who will get a lot of TV time.

Next boxing superstar...won't even come close!! Already plans to avoid Loma...fame and fortune are in the higher weights....too short for the best at higher weights. Too bad for Tank there is no Morales, Barrera, or Marquez around anymore.

Maybe so. He needs a ton of work IMO. I think in order to be a star you have to be able to communicate with the public enough to get your point across.

I think it will come with time, just comparing him to FMJ after he beat Genaro Hernandez, he needed a lot of work.

Yeah, thats a real good point.

Exactly who is he going to be beat to become the next big star in boxing? If he doesn't fight Rigo or Loma in the next 12-18 months then he is out of the conversation. No one outside of hard core boxing fans know Berchelt even exists. I don't see Frampton or Mares moving up to fight him. Maybe Santa Cruz and Russell Jr. but wins over either of them won't launch you into super stardom. Not so sure he beats Russell Jr.

Rigo/Davis makes the most sense. They have similar records and the fight would be easy to make given Floyd's relationship with them. I won't hold my breath.

I like Tank and hope he continues on the path to stardom. As far as the fights I've seen, my only current critique is that he needs to change his pace. He sits on just about every single shot he throws, and that can be very detrimental if he can't get a guy out of there. Outside of that, I enjoy watching his fights and will tune in every chance I get.

You gonna watch game of thrones instead bud?

Actually yes.

He's too dumb to be a superstar.
