      He is black, not white, therefore, as a white person, I must dislike him.

        I dunno but Tyson was on crack, I guess Davis would have to start burning up some crystal meth.

          I'd say 140 is likely as far as he can carry that power up. Remember, it's not just about taking your power up with you, it's also about taking punches from bigger, more powerful hitters too.

          Right now, he doesn't seem at all interested in the bigger names in his weight class. Doesn't feel Loma is significant, haven't heard him mention Berchelt, Linares, Garcia. Not even Russell Jr. or Rigo. I think he can blast through Corrales real easy, but tough to say where he goes from here if he's going to hide behind Uncle Floyd and follow his career path. Maybe wait for Loma to slow down in 5 years?

            I really like Davis and think he will be in the P4P argument really soon. I think 135 should be his limit. He's quite short and doesn't look like a potential 147 fighter. I just hope he doesn't get carried away like broner has.

              I think his legit tip top guy ceiling is 140, but I could see him winning a belt at 147 cuz basically anyone who's a top ten guy in a division can lift a belt for a minute nowadays. I just don't know that I could see him being the #1 guy at 147. But sh^t who knows he has the power so if he can keep that power up to 147 like Manny than he could certainly compete for the top spot there to. I just don't feel very secure saying that based on what I've seen so far + assuming his power moves up 17lbs with him.

                Hes real real good man, awesome uppercut and hook combo, and he does it well bringing you in off the back foot. In a perfect world we would see him and Loma next but I know boxing is a business so we wont, hopefully they meet at lightweight

                  I think hes a beast but he is to short for 147.

                    I was thinking that too, but Manny is shorter & Thurman + Porter are 5'7. Idk if he's the next Manny, but him being the next Thurman or for sure Porter isn't a crazy jump imo.
