Gervanto Davis is the next Mayweather

Making history yesterday as youngest champion with the tko stoppage against Jose Pedraza

[In the know 85]

No where near a mayweather, completely different fighter!

Who says boxing fans don't get prematurely carried away?

TANK IS A MONSTER

[Badhusker]

Any chance BNov and Psychod1986 are the same person?

He is very far from it, to be fair, there aren't many options of "Mayweather" substitutes, boxers like him (or to be like him) are almost nonexistent nowadays.

I agree that Davis convinced me that he is pretty good and has nice boxing future/career, but he needs to polish his technique a bit and take more C and B class fighters (like Pedraza) before taking A class boxers (like Corrales, Sosa, Vargas and Lomachenko).

Kosei Tanaka is the youngest...

Wilfred benitez, that record will never be touched.

He made a big statement with his win last night. He's a very good fighter who looks to have a bright future. I'd hold off on the comparisons to ATG's, but then again I'm logical like that.

I want to see Gervanto vs Vasyl, but I doubt both sides will want the risk.

[Impractical Poster]

Only time will tell if he's the next PBF. But he sure looked good last night...

The Promotional divide is what will keep that from happening.

I don't think Vasyl would have issues taking that fight. However, this is a fight Davis would most likely lose. I love the idea of the fight but I think the Davis camp understands the consequences and will probably steer clear of Lima.

Maybe the youngest IBF champion. Youngest champion just because there's so many belts, but he isn't even the youngest champion at 130lb if Mayweather was younger when he won the title there.

He's not the youngest active fighter in the sport today either. That would be Kosei Tanaka.

[crusader]

Davis is clearly an impressive talent, but his skills dont come remotely near Floyd's.

At this point I think Loma would Gary Russell him. He probably beats up the likes of Vargas and Sosa.

[Lackeos]

Yep. All it takes to be the next Mayweather is beating Pedraza. I mean, I'll admit, Davis is a hell of a prospect. But this is potentially an overreaction.

[handsofstone]

Davis is the next Sugar Ray Robinson

Am I doing it right?

Sorry, I mean active fighter it had to be 'younger' not 'youngest'...

[Badhusker]

I like what Davis said - about him studying Pretty Boy Floyd but not Money Mayweather.

[caldo2025]

Here we go. After one big fight, the drama queens are putting him in the HOF. Joke.

He's good, but certainly no Jeff Horn.

Davis looked Fantastic ! But he is a different fighter than Floyd. More exciting actually.

I'd like to see Davis matched against Lomachenko eventually.

[montrealsuper]

Can and will Haymon protect this guy and manufacture him into another protected artificial fraud star? - Yes indeed - Will Davis face the best? - Hell no -
