    Hope the poll is right lol. Regardless after watching more of him in interviews at least he seems nice (in the ring he can be cocky & obnoxious) I picked Tank as the underdog over Pedraza to become champ (+150 under won over 200$).

    Now I'm picking Cuellar to upset Davis (I got 22$ to win 143$). Risky bet but I like scratch off tickets lol. Tank could get clipped here, if he doesn't Respect to Tank Davis God bless him.

    Here's the weigh in:
    On paper
    JC 5'6 height 66 inch reach
    TD 5'5 1/2 height 67 1/2 reach

    If marketed correctly he could be a great draw imo.

    You could even use the angle that he's 'slow', he'd get support imo.

    But they've tried to make him Mayweather 2.0, when deep down he's probably a decent kid who just needs guidance.

    Damn, that was awkward

    It was like what Richard Pryor said about Leon Spinks.

    “nobody ever said the heavyweight champion had to be no entomologist anyway...Leon what do you do? ‘I knock mothafucckers out’”

    Yes I think so and so do many others. I get that people who have a Baltimore accent typically don’t sound too bright but he just sounds like punch drunk fighter. I’ve been watching his interviews and was hoping it was just his accent but it can’t be, he slurs and talks with a heavy tongue, and when he’s not being talked to he’s completely spaced out. Yes it’s true that a fighter can be punch drunk earlier in his life if he’s had a lot of amateur fights. I doubt it’s just because of his intelligence because I think we’ve all spoken to some dumb people before and I think we can all agree Davis sounds much more like a punch drunk person than a dumb one

    Impossible to say. He grew up in hellish circumstances. He could have some fetal alcohol syndrome or other drugs from when he was in the womb. I'm certain he's been in many brutal gym wars. I hope he isn't already punch drunk, but he definitely will be by 45.

    No. But you have included a very good analysis that perfectly describe his condition in the third choice in the poll you started, which majority agree that is the case.

    He sounds like a mixture of both dumb and punch drunk. Dumb people don't slur or speak in that heavy-tongued way the way he does, and purely punch drunk people can still show their original intelligence when speaking. Davis neither sounds particularly sharp nor delivers what he's saying in an intelligible way. Sad really. He'll be a mess by the time he's forty.

    Just dumb. Really, really dumb. It’s only downhill from here. Wait until he returns. You will need subtitles to understand what he’s saying.

    He sounds like a potato

    But then he gets in a boxing ring and he looks like Einstien knocking out his potato opponents.

    It's not the B-More accent, and I doubt he's punch drunk yet. I think he's probably developmentally challenged, and it's low that yall are making fun of that.
