Originally posted by GhostofDempsey View PostDavis will never be elite level. If that would have been Loma, Haney, Lopez or even Campbell last night Tank would have been stopped inside the distance.
Best to see how Tank matures you guys write everybody off when the facts are that all fighters have off nights or bad showings and often against a guy they supposed to demolish.
Boxing is a strange game at times the guys you mentioned might have gone to sleep with the first big uppercut landed, I prefer to wait and see what Davis does in the big fights.
He reminds of Broner in persona ring walk etc which is not a good role model and I dont think he is disciplined but time will tell.

Originally posted by MastrangeloYeah I agree. Also the power of Gervonta - sure He's a puncher, but that idea that everyone He'll hit will just fall down because He's "So explosive" is also false. He had guy with a bit more craft and athlethicism and already He made Gervonta look less athlethic comperatively..
A lot of potential clearly - but I'm also thinking now that there's a reason They protect him so much for years.

Originally posted by MulaKO View PostI think that’s one of the main reasons
And the fact he needs someone who won’t take his chit
Keeps up like this , it’s Broner all the way
Getting him better fights would probably motivate him a little more to actually be disciplined
He’s got to want to do it though, and I don’t think Tank wants to.
Maybe better opposition would motivate him but it’s hard to just turn that switch back on when you’ve developed bad habits.

Originally posted by Kagami Taiga View PostI'm pretty sure he trained in Atlanta. The kid nerds to focus. Until he does that hes gonna have more trash performances like this one. His talent and skill is clearly there. It's up to him to carry to take it seriously.
He obviously looks up to Floyd, and if there’s one thing he should try and emulate it’s Floyd’s dedication and work ethic.

Originally posted by PAC-BOY View PostHis corner has a lot of heart. Gamboa said he cant go back out. His mind was on quitting. But his corner pushed and ignored the fact that he did not want to continue. I think his corner deserves as much respect as Gamboa for fighting on. Had it been any other corner they would have stopped the fight before the 3rd. For a shot chiny fighter with one foot Gamboa didnt to to bad
He might of said he wanted out but his actions proved otherwise.
At 38 yrs old, badly injured and having already made more money than a Cuban kid would have ever dreamt of, Gamboa deserves a tonne of credit.

Fact is , I don’t see him going against Loma anytime soon or even a Haney unfortunately
He’d definitely need kind of like a rehab training program lol

His output was far too low as well, that was very likely down to fitness though.

Originally posted by RJJ-94-02=GOAT View PostThat’s even more worrying then. He definitely needs to focus and dedicate himself or he’ll waste his potential.

I find it funny people are questioning his power...as if he didn't score a knockdown in the 2nd round that broke Gamboa foot. You guys have incredibly selective memory/hatred.
