Mares ****s crollas up at 135 tbf

oh ok lol. guy gets ko'd in 1 round at 126 and all of a sudden he's the indestructible man? you can't continually move up in weight without consequences. especially when you are old. no one is debating mares wasnt a better fighter than crolla but mares at 130 is not as good or proven as crolla is at 135. stop with your fantasy nonsense. loma fights a top 5 guy all he fights is bums! davis picks a small guy moving up in weight who just lost WHAT A FIGHT! since its this easy to fool people im not surprised they keep doing it. all it takes is a guy with a name. why doenst davis fight someone in the top 5 in his division? his standards are so low he has to fight a guy who is not even in the top 5 in a smaller weight division?

telling you the truth is stooping low? lomas fighting a top 5 guy and davis is not. mares just lost and is not even in the same division as davis. hes moving up his 4th division. dont these things matter to you? just saying the name mares doesnt mean its a good fight. if you want to compare careers then yes mares has had a better career in total but the mares of now who has never fought at 130 vs a guy who is actually in the top 5 of lomas division? there is no contest in what is a better fight and neither are great fights but one is at least vs a relevant guy. the other is against a guy with a name people know who is woefully undersized

crollas top 5 in lomas division. mares is nowhere in the rankings in davis' division and hes also coming off a loss . crollas also a mandatory meaning he has to fight him. davis chose to fight mares.

What a ****** comment. How is his career embarrassing??? With just 16 fights he annihilated Jose Pedraza who was an undefeated champion and former Olympian. Next fight KO'd his next top undefeated challenger in Liam Walsh in just 3 rounds, next fight he KO'd another undefeated challenger in Fransico Fonseca. That's 3 0's in a row he's taken. In his next fight he annihilates a former world champion in Jesus Cuellar in just 3 rounds. If you ask me, he's done damn good in just 20 fights and still in his early 20's

wow that sounds great. too bad walsh and fonseca are nobodies who haven't fought anybody and mares and cuellar are guys coming off losses and moving up in weight. none of those guys were even in the top 10. why did you forget to write that?

[daggum]

The opponent? Go look at the guy Loma's fighting next. Crolla is 10 times worse than Mares.

Gervonta is top 5 pound 4 pound talent in the last 20 years. Most of you have never laced them up and are internet freaks who bash everyone.

You shouldn't lace them on your eyes, Mr. 20 Years, lol.

If If If

It is great to think positive and to appreciate the skill in which some young men can punch someone in the face... but life has complexity and many traps even for those who appear destined for greatness. The first thing Mr Davis has to do is understand that in a numbers game one should try to set it up so everything they can control is in their favor.

I don't know how much Mr Davis does in this regard but here is some things I would have to say...He better do to give himself a chance.

a. Fight Fight and Fight... don't worry about any undefeated crap, the best fighters ever took an L occasionally. Hank Armstrong, who won many many fights in many many divisions...if memory serves correct, lost his first few fights. A young fighter needs to learn his craft by fighting, and fighting a lot. Against all kinds of opponents.

b. Get the hell out of Baltimore ASAP! Did I say ASAP? because I meant sooner than that! Dude...borrow Shazam's cape, and thunderclap your @33 out of there! Now, maybe years down the road, when living in Howard county, or something, Tank can fight in the area to give something back...like Ward did. Im all for that. BUt as a young man, hanging out with people like Broner in that area is very bad.

People will not like your success, and you may ccatch a bullet because of it. Look at local entertainers in the area... happens a lot. Tank's own behavior and social activities will impede his progress in Baltimore. Going to strip clubs is not really a good thing to do as a young guy. Get some pv55y the old fashioned way.

c. Get with management that will see you through. I do not know his management so I have no specific critiscisms other than the last guy I would sign with would be Floyd. Floyd is into number one, and if you want some tips thats cool, but as a manager why not find someone who is a mentor, and a benefactor? Someone who wants what is best for you at all times and who will not compete with you. Floyd has basically sat on this kid... Just saying.

Watch who you hang with, fight regularly and you will have controlled a few things that could be problems down the road. Mr Davis has to hope that his chin, his weight, his learning curve and fate will all be kind to him.

Davis is definitely looking like a fighter who could one day be great, but he needs to fight much more often, and needs to rack up some higher level scalps.
