Comments Thread For: Gervonta Davis: Everybody Knows I'm Number One And I Showed It!

Prior to Manny’s KO of Matthysse he hadn’t ko’d anyone for 9 years and he’d been in this division for 8 years. According to your rules he’d have been “pillow fisted.”

incorrect - With the exception of Floyd - Pac dropped or visibly hurt just about every fighter he ever faced regardless of weight!! Nobody ever just walked through his punches and walked him down like Davis did Lsc last night as most predicted he would. Can’t compare Pac and Lsc!

Care for me to identify two dozen more? Manny is not the only one to move up. Almost all lower weight class boxers move up throughout their career it doesn’t make them “smaller”. This has been going on in boxing since boxing started and weight classes identified

108 to 147 is 10 weight classes good luck finding anyone in the history of boxing whose done that lmaoo you right others have moved up 3 or 4 weight classes but only the truly great can keep the same level of effectiveness that they had at the lower weights. Even Duran wasn't the same level of dominant at 147 as he was at 135 . Leo is just a really good fighter who previously did not look good at his first and only fight at 130 against a low level opponent . Hence he didn't carry the same level of effectiveness as before. These are facts I'm not hating on Tank he's a great talent we all just want to see him fight the best at his weight class is all .

You raise valid points and I don’t see hate here. However other than Teo we could say fighting the best at weight class to just about every boxer in every division these days even Tank’s own division

Easy Tank. It’s a nice win and great ko but Broner used to look good beating up on smaller guys too. Fight one of the live dogs at 135 or Loma at 130. Don’t be bringing Carl Frampton or Donaire up to 130 for a similar type of look good fight. I think this may have been a cash out fight for Santa Cruz who may retire now.

Got em!!!!!!

lol!! No fighter regardless of weight took Pacs punches and walked him down like Davis did Lsc as most predicted he would do. Terrible comparison. Pac dropped Thurman, AB and had both moving and on the defensive bc of his POWER!!

Lopez vs Davis would be the perfect way to determine the top 135 kingpin. The question is, will Davis stay at 130 or 135. Much of that may be dictated by which of the two titles will have greater expectation of him, mandatories, etc., but it should come down to unifying with Lopez and the money is bigger than a Berchelt fight or other opponents that dont draw big money as to who he won't fight. Davis's best choices are Lopez, Loma, Garcia, and Haney. But Lopez should be first because it wont be long before Lopez heads to 140.

good points - Davis is following Pbc easy path of Berto and Broner.....when he fights the top elite fighters his size...he will not have all the advantages he had - size,youth. speed and power. Berto was exposed by Ortiz....Broner by Maidana....Davis eventually as He is forced to face legit elite opposition.

Sadly this is true . Regardless for the amount of hype Tank gets and for his level of talent hopefully from now on he fights tougher challenges .

You are super wack your resume is terrible .You beat a smaller guy with a weak ass resume like you. Fight Berchelt, Lopez, Loma then you can talk. Bunch of weak C class Fighters in your resume .

[jonnyc420]

By beating a FW who doesn't even compete at LW? Delusional and dumb. By what I seen Leo was winning that fight til he got caught.
