He's not. He's not even a one-division "champ". He's a one-division paper titlist. The "regular" belts he received at 135 and 140 are nothing more than slap-ass gestures from the WBA, who are in bed with Haymon, Mayweather, and Ellerbe. Lopez and Taylor are THE champions at those weights, any other claims are nonsensical. Davis has talent, there is no mistaken, but the guy has fought two independently ranked top-10 guys in his entire career in Pedraza and Barrios. Neither were top-5 in their class. Forget the belts, his resume is too thin for the charge of "special".
Let's see if he can fight Loma at that weight. Now he must be ready right ? There is only one champion at that weight and it's Taylor. It's like saying Trevor Bryan is the champion in HW
I can't take credit away from him for moving up but honestly Barrios is a very basic. Barrios just has power and not much else.
LMAO Davis was missing weight even in 2017 for SFW.. & If you think what he's doing is 'special' then I think that you're quite special. There are fighters in boxing right now that are pissing all over anything Davis is doing… he's, 25-0, pro 8 years & his best win is still a SFW Pedraza imo.. LSC is a stick insect close to retirement having been pro 15 years already, Gamboa fight was a joke.. Most of Davis' opposition are former BWs & FWs (Cuellar, LSC, Ruiz, Macias etc) despite him rehydrating to 146lbs, probably more now.. hes dropping rounds in nearly every fight he's in lately & his output can be **** poor like this one just demonstrated.. 3 divisions he's through now, picking up REGULAR belts except at SFW when he won the IBF & a vacant WBA strap.. that's it to date.. that's special is it? He's blessed with very good power , take that away & he'd be a decent but fairly unspectacular operator. He also shys away from real challenges too. I've seen you continually dumping on fighters that have done way more than Davis has yet here you are calling him special.. BTW Barrios hasn't fought or done anything noteworthy to date either. You telling ppl he's good won't make up for the lack of substance that actually exists there. Davis is very good. But not special. Like you.
