    Let's see him in against Lopez or Taylor first.

    He's not proved himself the best fighter in any division yet.

    Gervonta Tank Davis has stopped everybody he fought in his world title fights. Anybody with that record you will be shouting to the rooftops. I get it you don’t like Tank but that’s not my problem or his, it’s your problem. Tank is contemporaneously holding world titles in 3 divisions from 130-140. He has punching power that is part of the equation but combined with his speed, skills, toughness and ring generalship it makes him formidable. We know why Ryan Garcia developed mental health anxiety issues and why Oscar de La Hoya won’t allow the fight.

    If he is special fighter, he needs to challenge champion of the weight classes he fights.

    Unfortunately, Twink needs to move out of the clutches of Floyd Hairpiece and everyone at The (Need More) Money Team, or he'll never have control of his own destiny.

    It reminds me a little of Eubank jnr, and the overbearing way snr seemed to be in charge, at least early on in jnr's career.

    Maybe, I've misread the signals, but I get the sense that Twink is being told what he can say, who he can fight, and when, and where etc...

    Does anyone get the impression Twink isn't really calling the shots in his own career?

    I tend to agree. While I'm not necessarily convinced either would stop Davis--in fairness, the kid ate some big shots from Barrios--I believe Taylor and Prograis would decision him.

    ONLY in house fights ? Really Tanks team ? That is what is wrong with boxing. No legacy, only politics.

    He's special in many ways

    lol

    He passed the eye test with flying colors years ago just like Spence...Now the real problem is trying to get the opposition.

    Sadly the state of play in boxing right now is one of coddling and avoidance.

    What is most impressive about guys like Spence & Gervonta is how steely cold they are. Cool headed. Even Crawfish shows little lapses in this element.

    No he hasn't, but he has proved that he is just as good as any top fighter.

    Sooner PBC are out of the sport the better. Others seem to make fights together no problem

    No, he hasn't.

    To be as good as any top fighter you need to prove yourself the best in your division, as you said, he hasn't done that.

    He hasnt done **** his best win Is still Pedraza and that was years ago. Has fought in three divisions but never fought the best in any of those divisions i wont label him as special untill he does that and wins.
