      Can someone link me to where Davis says he's not ready, in those words, ready? Has he said that exactly?

        Man, just admit it. Floyd is doing the right thing with Tank. He's doing the same thing other promoters are doing with their young, still developing titleholders.

        But its Floyd so you guys gotta do this.

        hahahah you wont be surprised if Quigg beats Valdez.
        youre underestimating quigg.....

            No, I'm properly rating him. You are pretending for the sake of arguing, like you did when citing Margaret Court.

            hahaha you are making me laugh!

Gervonta is adopting Floyd's cherry-picking ways from his mentor, and he wants to preserve that zero in the loss column at all costs.
              So Canelo was green, but Tank is not...because of amateur matches?

              If you want to combine amateur and professional matches, Mayweather had 47 more bouts than Canelo.


              Lomachenko had 169 more bouts than Davis.

              How many amateur bouts did JCC have? How about Roberto Duran? How about James Toney? You can be great without a ton of amateur experience. But also you can have tons of amateur experience and not quite pan out.

              How the hell can you argue that Davis is more ready for Lomachenko than Canelo was for Mayweather? Are you serious?

              Simple question. Do you think Mayweather's amount of experience over Canelo is a larger gap than Lomachenko's experience over Davis?

                  Canelo was the WBC/WBA champion when he fought Floyd Mayweather. Of course that doesn't stop fans like you from claiming Canelo was "too green".

                    Everything that dude has touched has gone defunct - his rap label (LOL so stereotypical), his lottery soda (LOL)...

                    Hell, he was broke after 2 years fighting Pacquiao. And it sounds like he's desperate for money again just after making another few hundred million (well, likely after taxes, closer to 100 and some change) not even a year ago hahah.

                    The only upside is to pitch him to the type of fans who like Broner.. But these types of fans can't afford tickets to fights, and have to pitch in like 20 deep to buy PPVs.

                    Ever notice that despite Floyd constantly fighting in his backyard of Las Vegas, his opponent ALWAYS had more fans live in attendance? LOOOL
                    lol@you thinkin floyd is/was broke after pac fight...he hasnt even seen a dime from that fight yet...hes still getting paid for fights before that...he takes monthly checks instead of lump sums

                      LMAOOO. You're becoming good at ducking.


                      By the way, you cherrypicked the youngest heavyweight champ to add into your agenda. Great job.

                      Spinks was such a monster.


                      No, but seriously. Where was the pound for pound champ in the division that Tyson should have been pushed to meet, because last I checked, he paid Lennox Lewis step aside money to avoid him in '96. I'm just saying.
