    Loma is old though, Davis should have fought him a few years ago.

    Davis really should fight Stevenson, but Arum is just as protective of Stevenson as Ellerbe is of Davis.

    Loma is old, but if he beats Kambosos he's the best LW in the world today.

    I'd like the winner of Loma v Davis to fight Stevenson tbh.

    I find the now Abdul Wahid very entertaining to watch but yeah, it's no mistery that his ambition, hunger, call that flame how you want, lately doesn't meet his talent. By this time if I was him I would have made at least two fights with Loma and expose Haney fraud ass before King Ryan lmao
    He's basically doing what Floyd haters thought Floyd did his whole career, pity if Stank career ended rn his legacy would be really paper thin and only have a caricature of his teacher resume.
    Speaking about the match in op btw I don't see anybody rn outboxin so effortlessly an opponent with one hand as he did with Cruz so yeah guy needs to stop wastin' his prime.

    Eh to me his arsenal and I.Q seem more vast by leaps and bounds than Wilder's

    I’d give the title of most babied to Edgar Berlanga. At least Davis has world class talent. Berlanga is an actual bum who looks like he’s on his way to a title shot because of his management.

    Davis has been overly protected and unwilling to face the top fighters in their prime. He also doesn’t appear to be too bright outside the ring. Gets into too much trouble which distracts from his profession. Plays games with rehydration clauses and catch weights, which are not the sign of a true champion.
