Comments Thread For: Gamboa: I Want Gervonta Davis Next, That's What I Want

[Ca$ual Fan]

Farmer, Jo Jo Diaz, GRJ, or LSC! If all else fails, then Gamboa! Roman Martinez is a shot fighter! We all knew that! Nice victory for Gamboa, but it means nothing! Let Gamboa fight Mares on Tank's next show!

Martinez is just a bad as Tanks latest opponents. Gamboa is alot more credible than most of Tank's opponents in his resume. Judging by Tank's latest opponents, there's a good chance he will not land a fight against any of those names you mentioned above, so why not Gamboa next?

Why not? This should be an interesting match up.

Yep. Gamboa definitely still has some tricks up his sleeve. And contrary to popular belief, Davis isn't bulletproof.

Parotting Adrien Broner is like the dumbest thing a grown man could do. Pathetic.

You gotta admit Shortboa was pretty funny.

[Outwest Exp 355]

And who are those fighters you want Tank to be with that are falling in line?

LSC, GRJ, and Farmer are all fights I’d rather see over Shortboa sucking weight in a sauna suit trying to make 130.

lol at the posters telling gamboa to get in line, why do you think they put yuri in the undercard? they don't want no one with a pulse and gamboa's been done for quite a while now. he is perfect for davis. kid's only 24 doe

Garry Russell has stated Tank is protected and don’t want the fight..

Probably not the best person to quote to make your point. While I do like to see him fight (once a year), he's definitely the wrong messenger.

Sees Tank Davis name in an article immediately activate bich and moan fingers. Rinse and repeat for some of you keyboards nerds.

contract weight was 134, not 130.

A fight against Tank would be at 130.

I like your optimism but it’s no secret TMT doesn’t want him to face anyone credible. Farmer has gone on record stating they’ve sent 3 offers and no counter. Garry Russell has stated Tank is protected and don’t want the fight. Tank is certainly very talented but highly protected which is why the Gamboa fight seems far more achievable than Gary Russell Jr., LSC, Berchelt, Loma, any real threats. Gamboa may not be worthy as you put it but less of a threat, just what his Daddy Floyd prefers.

I would disagree. I don’t think your looking at it from a business standpoint, just as a pure boxing fan. Your looking at who would pose a threat versus who would help Davis towards becoming a PPV star like his team mentioned multiple times as their ultimate and primary objective.

For the risk those fighters take in the ring, the ones with “potential” to be a box office PPV Star such as a Davis, will have careers guided towards the bigger monetary fights in the future. And every fight taken and scheduled will be towards that goal, building towards earning the most money in the ring while taking the least amount of damage. Floyd, “daddy” as you call him probably is the best person to that end. Having multiple titles and titles in multiple divisions, taking the least amount of losses, and the least amount damage while building up enough of your resume with the boxing public’s is the strategy. Again, Floyd knows that better than anyone. Us fans don’t have to agree with it but it’s the reality today for the fighters that show enough potential, especially after the (2) deaths in the ring and prior deaths in the ring before.
