Comments Thread For: Gervonta Davis: The Good, The Grand And The Ugly

Well I know one person who cares about the interest of US fans and his name would be Prince turkey da smurkey. He's begging Al Haymon for PBC fighters. He's putting on a fight in LA with Bud Crawford. He wanted Tank vs Devin in Saudi. He wants the American HWs. He wants to put on Boots vs Bud. He's trying to lure American fighters to fight over in the desert. If he's not interested in the US audience he sure has a funny way of showing it!

Show me where the Prince "Begs" Al Haymon for his fighters? Not once has he done so. That's made up like everything else you come out with.

Putting a few American fighters on his cards isn't needing the fans though is it? I don't think he cares. He's not looking to make profit.

The Prince wanted Tank vs Haney but laughed at Tank when he wanted 2 Ferrari's just to think about it. You couldn't have missed it. But when did he say anything about Boots?

Its extremely rare a boxer will hit a global level there is probably only a handful in history that everyone knows, inside of the boxing sphere he is a global star, which is why the Saudis are interested, I agree Id love to see him fight the other WCs and big names around his division, hopefully the mounting pressure makes it happen after the Martin fight.

There have been a few recently that you mgiht not acknowledge as true global stars. Canelo coukd sell out anywhere. Golovkin was massive in the UK, Russia/Asia and USA.

Lomachenko also was huge in Europe and UK.

Americans don't realise how crazy the rest of the world is about boxing. AJ and Klitschko brought the UK and Europe to a stand still when they fought.

Jeez-zus Chri..... when are you guys finally going to get it. No one in America cares if anyone outside of this country thinks about Tank or any other fighter. No American athlete is concerned a out his popularity overseas. No American athlete is dreaming about fighting in the UK or Saudi. Conversely, 99% of world wide boxers dream about fighting in Vegas, NYC or LA. Thousands of you guys are in the US getting trained by Americans while dreaming g on getting on an American card and making enough money to move their entire family to the States and never returning to their homeland. Sorry guys not trying to be a Homer but those are just facts. Deal with it pumpkin!

Could you list all the thousands of fighters in the UK who are trained by American trainers? List everyone who dreams of being on an American card?

List everyone who moved to the US never to return to their homeland? I want all of these supposed "Facts"???? Don't run when you've had questions put to you on your comments like you always do. Actually come back and support them.

"No names"??? Ryan is only one of about 5 US fighters in the last ten years that can do successful PPVs. Pitbull Cruz may possibly be on the cusp of doing successful PPVs. Barrios is a WW champ. Leo was one of the biggest names in boxing for years. So was Gamboa. "No names"???

Ryan was drained a division and had a rehydration clause put on it. It meant nothing.

Pitbull Cruz hasn't even beaten a decent fringe level fighter, let alone a world class one. But you think he's going to headline a PPV soon? I'd love to see them attempt it. It's a sure fire way to have your PPV bomb very badly. That's why Haymon hasn't attempted to do one.

Barrios was drained and a nobody in the scheme of things. Who has he even beaten?

Gamboa was shot. Like, badly shot. It should never have happened in the first place. But it's the kind of opponent Davis likes.

By the time Leo and Davis fought, Leo's name had dimmed very badly through doing nothing of note for years. You can't build your name fighting garbage all the time the way he did. He had something with the Frampton fights, but lost it immediately as he went back to the bums and shot fighters for years.

Please let someone else praise Keyshawn DaviS...not you. It's only a matter of time before you start using decoded code words like "runner" "thug" "chicken"

Who's this to? It could be anyone. But the only ones who call fighters who move "Chicken runners" is the Mexicans. If they call Stevenson a boring fighter after the horrible performance he put on against Santos, then it's justified. It was beyond boring. I like movement. But i like a fighter to be active with it. Not refuse to throw anything of note for 12 rounds and do nothing but disengage.

Im pretty sure Davis would sell out anywhere if thats your criteria its obvious he has more of a following than you want to admit, I was more thinking of Floyd Manny Leonard Hagler Ali type of global star and also Canelo who you mentioned its a small group of about 20 fighters to reach that status, I dont know I just feel like fans try and tear down any fighter they dont like, and in that any fighter ever can be lowered if you want to.
