Comments Thread For: Gervonta Davis Proved He's A Star; Time To Prove He'll Box Better Opponents

[EDD1]

People use the word "star" pretty loosely these days. I'm betting if I ask any random stranger who Gervonta Davis is, they will not know. I'm in Chicago. Even in the hood, they don't know this guy.

That is asking too much of people in the hood in Chicago, you got more important(dangerous) things to worrie about lol

I hope he gains popularity but this fight will not give it to him,,, the sad reality is that in order to get exposure all these young guys need Ryan Garcia,,, somehow all my teen family members know everything about him

Teofimo Lopez is 22 and he'll be fighting Lomachenko in April. And Gervonta had over 200 amateur fights. He young doe!!

yeah and a few months ago the same people touting teo, to spite tank, were saying he was gonna ruin his career and take a beating lol

[Curt Henning]

the same people saying "when you hold a belt" are the same people that will tell you how easy it is to get a belt these days and that its cheap LOL

[Vasyl’s dad]

When you have a belt, you have to defend the belt, or drop it! However, promoters know how to get a guy a belt, and keep him safe while he develops! Munguia (as an example) would've got murdered had Oscar even thought about a unification! There are levels to this game. Don't be fooled by belts!

Not fooled by belts. But if you fight for a championship and win, you are past the development stage.

Spence and Crawford were fighting nobodies at 25! Crawford still fighting nobodies at 32! Lol!

people want to ignore this fact.....

broner is an everloving idiot...but remember back in the day when he was winning titles across weight classes? what did they say "oh he cherrypicking titles...winning a world title is easy these days theyre cheapened"

now all of the sudden cause tank got a trinket he should be rushing his career along and being different than most 25 year olds

[Vasyl’s dad]

Did you read the article?

There were over 9,000 people in LA when he fought.

Over 14,000 in Baltimore.

Over 12,000 in Atlanta.

LOL @ no one knows who he is.

LA has over 4 million people. 9000 is nothing.

maybe tank should have stayed an amatuer and waited till next year to turn pro

You know, this article still works if you just replace names.

Even a WBA order wouldn’t guarantee Pacquiao-Crawford would happen. We’d at least learn, though, if Bob Arum and Al Haymon are willing to discuss one of the highest-profile fights that could be made.

Regardless, with Pacquiao seemingly headed for a welterweight title unification fight against Virgil Ortiz next, Pacquiao-Crawford doesn’t appear likely to happen in 2020. High-stakes showdowns with Thurman, Danny Garcia and Shawn Porter are equally unlikely for Crawford next year, in part due to similar promotional, network and streaming-service conflicts that’ll prevent us from seeing Pacquiao-Crawford anytime soon.

A fight against 'Mile High' Mike Alvarado seems more realistic for Crawford if the 32-year-old Omaha resident intends to face a top opponent in his first fight next year.

lame ass fight LMAO

LA has over 4 million people. 9000 is nothing.

Name another American boxer currently drawing crowds of 9,000+ in LA.

It's a very short list.
