He certainly has power. I haven't seen anything yet to suggest he has ATG power. I'm not saying his punches are weak or anything, but there have been some PHENOMENAL punchers throughout the sports history. He's got a ways to go before he matches up with the best of them.
He's not even in the biggest puncher in the division right now in his own time.
Punching power isnt much developed. You got it or you dont. Bailey didnt need to fight many opponents to convince me that his power was abnormal.
Who punches harder in his division than davis?
Francisco Vargas, Miguel Berchelt, Jhonny Gonzalez...probably Nicholas Walters too.
I think he'd beat most if not all of those guys, but I don't think he hits harder than them.

Yeah he's about to be I figure. He hasn't previously been a Lightweight though.
I'll just let Davis' record speak for itself as his career goes on. The knockouts are gonna dry up once the level of competition increases.

He doesn't have ATG power but he does have a dig. ATG power is like McLennan, golovkin, foreman, Hearns etc
And punching power is developed expert. Manny steward turned Hearns from rangey awkward boxer into massive puncher.

Sure is power developed. Julian jackson, had he wasted his prime years watching tv and eating 10 cheeseburger a day he wouldve not been an atg puncher.
But you can develop power just to a certain level. Paulie can develop and train as hardcore as he wants he ll never be a good puncher. Davis aint a good puncher, he is phenomenal one nd he was born with it and training was the key to unlock the door, but just for him and a few other. Weak puncher can train all they want, they ll never unlock the door cause they werent born with it.
Hearns always had fantastic power. He t/ko 17 of his first 17 opponents. So shut up and be quiet if you dont know what you talking about.

He wasn't a big Featherweight. This is alarming, a lot of these kids that make it out of life or death poverty find it hard to maintain that drive and focus when they become millionaires.
Oh, and he's a very fast and sharp puncher. Nothing near all time power, but Jip is rarely correct rating anything. Par for the course.

I dont think he is. Look at pictures of Cotto with Mayweather, then compare them with pictures of Davis and Mayweather. He looks about 5'5 to me...

If this is a indication of Gervonta being exposed, Lomachenko would take his head off. We shall see how he does at a higher weight class.

I was told if you've got nothing nice to say then don't say anything at all but this is 2017 and this is the internet so it doesn't apply. Tank Davis is the new Adrien Broner, I found his clowning and general fight behaviour ridiculous. He needs to grow up. I wish they had put Badou Jack Cleverly the one before the main. Jack handled himself with class and rose to the occasion, a true professional, one to watch out for.

I think that GTank hungout with FMJ too much in training. An ATG fighting an over hyped UFC fighter can get away with that. A 22 year old who has proven nothing? Not so much.
Hopefully he gets straightened out. Odds are against him.

This. No matter what Mayweather may be, one thing he is not is unprepared. In 49 fights, he never once showed up out of shape or unprepared. He was a true professional in that ring and in the gym.

I think the comment is more about TMT fighters trying to emulate Floyd's media persona for quick profit than the dedicated showing in the ring, which comes from work outside of the spotlight.

Not entirely true. Emmanuel Steward said plenty of times that he helped Hearns develop his power as a pro and that he wasn't a puncher as an amateur.
