Your thoughts on a "Tank" Davis vs Ryan "King Ry" Garcia proposed matchup?

Post by Las Vegas boxing guy »

King Ry was LOUDLY calling out Gervonta "Tank" Davis following his KO victory over Luke Campbell.

In your opinion, how would that fight go?

I like both of these guys, but Garcia isn't quite ready for the elites.

Give him another 18 months or 3 fights against quality opposition, then maybe, but right now, no way.

Can't see Garcia ever really having success at the very top. He's a fun fighter to watch so he's got a real chance to make some money (I wish him the best) but, I don't see a truly elite level fighter.

Id give him another southpaw fight before going in with any top dog southpaws, If he wants to fight tank, Javier Fortuna a great pre tank fight, but still quite risky.

Tank has never fought an elite legitimate 135 pounder, most of the elite fighters Tank has fought were smaller fighters moving up to 130, He should have a fight with Gary Russell Jr. (Who just moved up from 126 to 130) as it is a natural rivalry Baltimore vs Washington D.C,, after that BEFORE fighting R. Garcia who is a big 135 pounder (As is Haney and T. Lopez), Tank should fight a few legitimate sized lightweights Nakatani or D. Berinchyk would be good to get acclimated to fighting 135 pounders as those 2 are credible opponents (Nakatani went 12 with T. Lopez so it could be used to compare) who are good, but no threat to the Elite lightweights (Teofimo Lopez, Ryan Garcia, Devin Haney and Tank, Loma)

Tank will ice Garcia, if they face next. Garcia is too stationary, Tank is too explosive.

That’s my thought. He’ll catch Garcia in an exchange and stop him.

I think Tank makes easy work of Ryan Garcia. For now I’d like to see Ryan Garcia vs. Rolly Romero

Seems like the public sees it as a good matchup. I figure Tank would batter Garcia pretty easily myself.

Rolly seems a typical gym fighter - great sparring ... can`t reproduce it when actually fighting; in fact Rolly looks terrible in his actual fights!!
Regardless of their old sparring clip .. Garcia beats Rolly pretty easily ... maybe not as easily as Tank KO`s Garcia, but easy enough.

to early i think for ryan , though if there were to meet i think ryan is more than capable of winning and doing tank damage, its just rushing his work early like against luke nearly cost him needs exprience to make him even better and cooler , ryan will beat tank i think ,though i would give it couple of fights first he is young there is no rush ,
