Taylor was also huge at the weight, he must have killed himself to make 160.gilgamesh wrote: ↑04 Feb 2020, 14:39It's kinda interesting sometimes when guys have consistent stamina issues.
Jermain Taylor and Jean Pascal were two world class guys that basically never failed to show stamina problems in almost all of their fights.
With Taylor I think it could be explained because of the way he's constantly moving his arms back and forth, and shuffling his feet and stuff. Just a lot of wasted movement and energy.
Not sure why Pascal burns so much energy, he's clearly in great shape, but you can pretty well take it to the bank that he's not gonna be as effective in the last third of a fight as he was previously. The 7th round slow down I call it with Pascal, because it's as predictable as the tides.

He is paying $120,000 US P.A. for that woman's kid.
Wonder what Broner is paying for his 7?
Seems Davis has some way to go, in the alimony stakes at least.

Child pay and divorce are brutal in the states. Better off getting the snip and living the Dan Bilzerian life if you got money.

Re: Gervonta Davis the next Broner?
Part of it is he has a naturally fat face. In the week before his last fight I saw him at a press conference and thought based on his face he must've been way way overweight, but then his body looked pretty much like normal
Re: Gervonta Davis the next Broner?
scumbag. just like broner in the way he sheds massive amounts of weight to beat much smaller guys. now that hes getting older he cant do it as easily. he is probably a natural light welter, maybe even welter. josh taylor would smash him to pieces.
as previous posters have stated, if he was that good he would fighting the top men,rather than 40 year olds. his output against gamboa was shocking...im convinced he cant safely make lightweight and have any energy left over to fight.if he fought lomachenko that night he wouldve got a severe pasting.
too much weight cheating going on in boxing these days. when fighters get to championship level they should have to declare at their natural weight and not be allowed to fight at more than a stone under it.

Re: Gervonta Davis the next Broner?
He may not be taller, but bigger through the torso. I agree with Jim, Davis walks around at welter for sure. He is a weight bully, and by the OP of this thread, a regular bully as well.Onetimeonly wrote: ↑06 Feb 2020, 13:55Natural welter?

Re: Gervonta Davis the next Broner?
I won't defend that behavior, but he's a small kid that fought for his life everyday. He has every opportunity to change but it's easier said than done.
As for weight bullying. Meh, that's the sport. He isn't a bigger lightweight than callum Smith is at 68.
Re: Gervonta Davis the next Broner?
I've seen a lot of bigger Lightweights than Davis.
Hell someone like Richard Commey is physically bigger than him at the weight.
Gaining 20 or 30 pounds of fat in between fights, and then having to knock it off in camp ain't exactly a huge advantage. It's standard practice in the sport though.
Usually the guys that have lengthy runs as great fighters stay in top shape all the time, and don't get noticeably fat in between fights.

Exactly! Weight bullying pffft. If you make the weight you can fight at the weight what a load of nonsense!Onetimeonly wrote: ↑06 Feb 2020, 14:07I won't defend that behavior, but he's a small kid that fought for his life everyday. He has every opportunity to change but it's easier said than done.
