Gervonta Davis vs Prime Juan Manuel Márquez (LW)

"Norwood was basically a smaller, mediocre version of Davis". You did, even if it was relative to Davis.

 

Norwood is not even close to the class of Tank. And Norwood didnt even come close to hitting as hard as Tank does.

 

It’s a comparison. He was mediocre compared to Davis, but exceptional compared to the average boxer.

Therein lies the issue with reading comprehension, my friend.

 

I agree. It’s not clear to me if he would’ve beaten Pitbull.

 

Ironic you mention reading comprehension after describing SRL as "my boy", despite me explaining to you that I rank him #17 pfp all time and Mayweather #18, which is as close to equal as it gets. I've also explained to you that by definition, that means I underate SRL, relative to Mayweather, compared to the majority of posters, judging by the recent polls in both the classic and general sections of this forum. Just not to the same extreme that you do. My reading comprehension is fine, yours on the other hand....

You picked JMM to beat Davis on points in a close fight. I think that's a perfectly reasonable pick, which is why I didn't call you out on it. Another poster then made out like it's more clear cut in favour of JMM, so you responded by describing Norwood as a smaller, mediocre version of Davis. I then set out to further expose your double standards by baiting you to post something extolling JMM in your very next post. I'm satisfied that I've achieved what I set out to, so I'll leave you alone......for now.

 

Davis doesn’t have great defense and Marquez lit up guys like him. Marquez struggled a bit more with being too patient against guys who moved or fought defensively. Tank doesn’t fit the bill and nobody ever KO’d Marquez, despite him fighting Pacquaio 4x and all the way up to welterweight beyond his mid 30’s.

It would be an easy fight for Marquez. The truth will come out about Tank’s level fairly soon. There’s a reason he’s so protected. Broner was the same until we realized he wasn’t that good.

 

It's been a long time since I've seen the Norwood fight, but I remember Norwood spoiling alot in the fight as he did in quite a few fights. It was a foul filled messy fight with point deductions as I remember it. I don't see that as a comparison to how Davis vs Marquez would go.

A better comparison would be how Davis struggled and was lucky to get the decision, against another technical mexican fighter in Isaac Cruz.

 

Marquez got robbed in the Norwood fight but in truth it was a non-fight. Stylistically Norwood and Tank are very different plus there was a case of Marquez sort of freezing up for his first big fight whereas by 135 he was no longer having those issues.

 

Yeah I agree I thought Marquez deserved the nod against Freddie Norwood, aswell as the Chris John fight. The Norwood fight in particular was a horrible foul filled fight, and I don't see Norwood/Marquez having revelance to a fight with Davis. Because simple reason is as you said it was Marquez's first big shot and was pre prime and a tad green, it was a foul filled stylistic nightmare, and I don't see Norwood or Davis being that similar style wise.

 

Cruz took Davis the distance with two weeks notice and gave Davis his most controversial win. I rescored that fight and had Cruz winning and its interesting Davis wouldn't sign for a rematch. Then Romero even though he got stopped also showed holes in Davis for 5 rounds. Davis lacks in defense period. JMM will eat him up.

 

Davis actually lifted a lot of Mayweather's moves off of him. And Marquez couldn't handle Mayweather.

 

Marquez had no business at 147 at that point. He’d barely just moved up from 130 where he barely had just moved up from 126 at 34. Davis has yet to fight anyone really any good.
