What are your honest thoughts on Gervonta “Tank” Davis?

Entitled protected want To be

Broner eventually proved his fans to be wrong
Let's give Tank the same courtesy.

[BigDramaShow]

Good power, great punch selection, probably with the wrong crowd. Could be a future hall of famer or Adrian Broner 2.0

[-Huey-]

Broner 2.0.

Hell, I think even the untested, tomato can fighting version of Broner was more talented than this “superstar” (according to TMT and PBC) version Davis! I wish they’d make this fight ASAP.

Overhyped and overprotected

Great potential, however undisciplined . Gains too much weight. Seen partying often . Run ins with the law .....kind of looking like the next broner as iam sure people have already stated in this thread . I hope tank can keep it in check , he truly has great potential . The question is can he beat his hardest opponent ......himself . He was hitting the buffet pretty hard with a belly on inside pbc I seen last night ....I wonder when this was shot ?? If this week ...how has he already gained so much weight he was prolly 155lbs already and puffy as all hell

You can’t deny the kid’s got talent
But the fact he got Floyd’s attention is a catch 22
For business it’s great ( all the behind scene chit )
Floyd also got his eye caught with Ishe Smith ffs
So talent wise he might just be average if he doesn’t take care of himself and start elevating his game

I don't disagree being with Floyd can be a double edged sword in certain ways.

And Ishe did better with Floyd then he'd have done with any promoter I feel like. Ishe won a title ffs. Who even takes enough interest in Ishe to get him a title shot besides Floyd? Idk if anyone does. So don't discount Floyd either.

Randomly one of the things I dig about Mayweather Promotions is how aggressively they match their boxers. I mean Memphis Miller has a W over Herring ffs. And few still know about Memphis. Thing that IS odd is I feel like they've not been as aggressively matchmaking Tank since he beat Pedraza (a fight I picked Tank to lose btw cuz it seemed too much too soon... although now to hear some talk about Pedraza he was a bum lol). I feel like they are just giving Tank showcase fight after showcase fight where he's largely been a -700 or bigger favorite. That's not how you make Tank as big as he can be.

Idk why they are doing that when they don't do that with anyone else. Do they not believe in Tank? Do they see showcase fights as the way to go to get max exposure for the least risk? Do they just want Tank to have a lil more confidence &/or seasoning? Are they waiting for Tank to get his sh^t together & come in focused & not have trouble with making weight before they move him into the biggest fights in the division? Maybe Tank is on some Danny & Angel bs & wants whatever fights?

Idfk brother, but I feel like one of those things is at work or maybe some combo of them cuz they definitely aren't moving Tank as aggressively as they've moved others or even how Floyd was moved. If anyone is old school they'll remember Floyd's first two title fights were Genaro Hernandez who was #1 in the division back then & then 6ish wks later he fought Angel Manfredy who was a HBO poster boy at the time with a 25 or so fight win streak & highly thought of. Floyd got thrown into the fire. And Floyd wanted to get thrown into the fire despite TR wanting otherwise.

Honest views on Gervonta Davies.Has to have something special if Floyd Mayweather scouted America for the best prospects and Gervonta was high on that list if not topped that list?

Maybe his poor performances of late has been due to him being young and tempted by the women a bit to much.Hence I know some martial artists go without sex for a while and true devotees eg Shaolin monks give up sex altogether.This builds up the life energy "chi" and allows for greater focus in the fighting arts.Some boxers employ the same tactics in their pre fight camps.

[Floyd is TBE]

Nothing special. Haven't been a fan since he embarrassed himself on the Mayweather/McGregor undercard. But Salido's ***** and Arum need him to be special. Salido's ***** needs names people know on his resume, and who better than Floyd's protege.
