    Guy has Roy Jones Jr level instincts/reactions.. Played with ' the next Floyd Mayweather' in Keyshawn Davis and beat him easily.

    I'd say Deontay Wilder is more accomplished

    How good is Keyshawn Davis?

    Better ring IQ also. He figured Davis out and really started getting to him by the last round. He looks a little bigger and older so it could be experience played a factor. Davis is very talented but I fear the Mayweather label is going to hurt him and he may fall victim to it.

    Just looked him up hes 24 with 106 fights while Davis is 20 and has 79 fights. Both talented but as I suspected age and experience were a factor in this.

    Awesome post, never saw that fight before. The Davis brothers are legit for sure, so that dude is a ****ing badass for sure.

    He and his brother are THE stars in American amateur boxing, along with Javier Martinez, Troy Isley and Joseph Hicks. The Davis brothers headline that group.

    How do you think the Davis brothers do in the professional ranks. I’ve heard he’s been compared to Mayweather

    I think they will both be stars if they stay motivated and dont let success go to their heads. They are dominating at a very high level only 2 years removed from HS. Kelvin is a weight class higher but Keyshawn is viewed by many as probably the better pro prospect, but they should both be great.

    Hope he turns pro after the next Olympics. He had a fun friendly style too. He is a p4p level talent.

    I can't imagine how dominant would be he and other cubans if they were able to eat the things that boxers from big "democratic" countries can eat...

    Dang, both look really good.
    And that wasn´t easy at all. Keyshaw gave him a really hard time there.
