Comments Thread For: Gervonta Davis: Lomachenko Fight Won't Make My Career

I don't want to dump on the guy. Big respect for the way he built himself into a world class athlete rather than take the path to becoming a street thug with all the 'hood distractions in Baltimore. Going to the UK to grab a belt was great. Now I hope he doesn't become The Business End and squander his career with meaningless showcase fights along Cherry Lane. He's got skills; he's exciting to watch. But it seems the Fear of Losing the Zero has been inherited from his mentor.

he didnt grab a belt in the uk. he went there because of his mandatory to fight some unknown untested guy.

of couse he will squander his career with easy fights. floyd did the same but the difference is he did it for so long that people thought they were seeing greatness when they were just seeing consistency. all the prime greats were ducked. you cant even say tank is better than berchelt or corrales. 2 guys with much better resumes yet look at the amount of hype he has. he doesnt have to fight good fighters just like floyd didnt. its a free pass simply because he has fans that enable him to do it.
