Comments Thread For: Richard Commey: I Want To Be Champion Again - First I Have To Beat Marinez

[BigZ44]

I wouldn't pick Commey to win, but I'd like to see him fight Tank. Would be one of Davis' best wins

Its funny that Richard Commey and Jackson Marinez are coming off loses to Teo & Rolly, two good pals. Both Commey and Marinez have arguable L's, Jackson being the latest to experience this upsetting aspect of boxing.

I'm curious to see how Richard comes back from the KO he suffered at the hands of Lopez. Fans wrote Commey off before with losses to Robert Easter jr. and Denis Shafikov, but Commey prevailed in the end by capturing the IBF lightweight title against Raymundo Beltran.

Respect to both Commey and Marinez, may the best man win.

Have you seen this?

Real or not: Gervonta Davis should not wait for Ryan Garcia and face Devin Haney while Teofimo Lopez recovers.

Bradley: Real: Wait for what? It is obvious Garcia has changed his tone. "Tank" Davis is 26 years old, and he is at the start of his prime years. At this point of his career, Davis, who's a two-division world titlist, should not chase anyone. Garcia has been woofing. He's calling Gervonta Davis' name, and "I want you afterwards. I keep my promises," and all this stuff. And then next thing you know, he's backpedaling. He's saying, "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait." Now he's talking about Pacquiao. Stop. I have a problem with that.

And now Tank is like, "I thought we was going to get down. Come on." And that's the fight that everybody wants to see, is him and Garcia. But I don't see the fight happening anytime soon. So I think Tank should stay active and fight. We're going to see a guy here in a week or so, Richard Commey, he's coming back at 135. He's strong. He's a former champion at 135 pounds. You also have a guy in Masayoshi Nakatani who looked impressive against Felix Verdejo in an exciting fight -- went down several times during the fight and got up, finished strong, and actually knocked Verdejo out.

I wouldn't mind seeing Davis fight a guy like that, somebody that's tough, somebody that's grueling, somebody that's going to be there, and somebody that's resilient as this guy and big and tall. We haven't seen Tank fight anybody with that kind of stature, with that type of size, with that type of power and determination.

Beating Haney would be pretty good, too, for Davis' career. Haney's not unproven, he's a champion. There's so many damn belts out there, and it's messy because Haney has the "real" WBC belt but Teofimo Lopez says he's undisputed.

But what if Davis stayed out of that mess altogether? A fight with Vasiliy Lomachenko would really draw some eyes. That's a fight a lot of people would want to see -- Lomachenko vs. Tank Davis. If he wants to continue his legacy in a positive way, he should fight Lomachenko. That would be a great fight stylistically, and also, they're around the same size.

If he beats Lomachenko, there's no way you can doubt him. He's the real deal.

Good article. Thanks for sharing. It's something I've been writing on here for a little while. Floyd would do the complete opposite and waste Gervonta's time even more.

Yes Commey can be champion again through Ryan Garcia.

Ryan isn't even a champ.
Commey basically has to beat 3 people to get to the garbage WBC belt.

[Satir]

nobody would wanna fight Commey, whats the point, he became toxic

[Hot Shyt]

I would like to see Loma fight the winner of Berchelt vs. Valdez @ 130. That could set up a potential match-up with Shakur Stevenson! Commey vs. Nakatani would be a good one! Winner gets a rematch with Lopez, or maybe fights for a vacant title once Lopez goes to 140!

I think it would be better if Shakur fought the winner of the Berchelt/Valdez fight. he has no notable wins yet. that would make a Loma fight bigger

I think it would be better if Shakur fought the winner of the Berchelt/Valdez fight. he has no notable wins yet. that would make a Loma fight bigger

Shakur already lined up to fight the winner of Herring vs. Frampton. If Loma fights winner of Berchelt vs. Valdez and wins, we have a unification fight @ 130!

Richard you are too honest in the ring sometimes. Use feints more so you can be a little more deceptive. Try to make it a little bit harder to read your movements. And don't put your brain so much in your right hand. Put it more in your jab

[PredatorStyle]

Well there are plenty of good fights for him to be in, though obviously the chance of him becoming a champ is much slimmer now. Hope he sticks around.
