    I mean, Gervonta Davis got Pedraza out of there in 6. Losing only one round on all three judges' scorecards.

    Lomachenko had to go the distance. And lost 3 rounds on two separate judges' scorecards.

    By definition that was more impressive by Davis.

      On top of that, Berchelt, Herring, and regular WBA champion Cancio, couldn't sell out the 8k-seat Dignity Health, while Davis is working with 20k-seat basketball arenas, and Top Rank isn't sending anyone anywhere.

      Davis will have this December fight in front of a pretty well packed arena, hopefully win, and will likely line up a blockbuster clash with Leo Santa Cruz by Spring 2020 (potentially on PPV), and the build will continue.
      Tank is well on his way to becoming a Superstar which is very RARE at that weight to become a Headliner and a Big Draw. Of course the big fights are coming but people will use it against him to hate him and bash him until those fights start happening

          Pretty much. Basically confirms a high rating by the WBA.

            He is training as we speak... Floyd found a guy who is serious about giving Gervanta a good solid challenge and get him in a place he belongs in his career. Frankly I don't see a problem Gervantes is just taking it slow, preserving that ole goose egg. And this guy he is fighting means business!!

              EXACTLY correct.

                Basically the reason why Golovkin had to fight Jacobs finally.
                Man, if GGG didn't want to fight Jacobs all he needed to have done was sit on his mandatory split.

                  Rules are different for regular champion versus Super champion

                    EDIT - Couldn't help but notice that in those 20 fights when they were Tanks age, they weren't calling themselves "multiple time world champions" so maybe it has something to do with that? Claiming to be a 2x world champion while still claiming youre too young to face a challenge?


                    No, it's Floyd.
                    didnt we both agree awhile back that winning a "world title" today is pretty easy and kind of cheap??...i mean it kind of is...so alot of guys can say that but it means little in the grand scheme....we know who the "champs" are...

                      Yeah, we did agree on that, and we still do agree.

                      But I still believe that once you have one of those world titles, you shouldn't be holding it hostage while you continue to get better. Should be moving up the ranks and getting better.
