Tank Davis vs Shakur Stevenson, Who Wins?

Stevenson whoops him

 

It’s plausible that Stevenson could beat everybody at 135 pounds but you can say the same thing about Tank and it’s more than plausible Tank puts Stevenson’s lights out.

 

Maybe Shakur Stevenson should try fight Issa Cruz.

 

That’s why I say it’s plausible he can beat everyone at the weight. However so can Tank who is very special as well.

 

I thought that too when I first saw Stevenson. I never got the Spence comparisons to Mayweather, they are nothing alike, Stevenson though has a bunch of technical skills similar to Mayweather, though I think Mayweather is faster, more powerful and had better movement and was also more willing to take risks in the ring at this stage of his career. But right now Stevenson is the closest thing we've seen to Mayweather.

 

It's a 50/50 fight, but Tank has more than power and experience. He has everything as well. He's a complete fighter who can switch up. Tank biggest strength is his patience and ability to stay calm, even if he's behind in a fight. That's what makes him dangerous, and a lot of people don't even realize it.

 

Tank's patience is one of his most underrated assets as a fighter, he's quite happy to lose most of a round to set up a few brutal counters and often ends up dictating the fight making guys take it too him and give up their height and reach.

But Stevenson isn't any ordinary fighter. He's a very patient counter puncher too, he's great and drawing leads of making a fighter react, like feinting a jab to make a fighter move their head but then throws the rear hand to where their head moves to. I don't think Tank will be able to do what he usually does and win the battle of counter punchers here, in fact I think Stevenson dominates him, it's not a good style match up for him.

 

Tank is quick and has great boxing ability, instincts and timing. Tank’s power does not bail him out because he is not over reliant on it. He sets people up before he closes the show. Shakur’s talent is there for us to see. Both guys are special. The people wanted Garcia to be special and he is talented with some charisma but he is not special.

 

Nobody and I mean nobody dominates Tank.

 

There is only 1 Floyd and as talented as Shakur is he is not Floyd.
