    Great skills, great talent but he hasn't shown the ability to take a full blooded shot to the mandible nor does it seem like he packs a whallop at 130 to really make waves in the upper divisions.

    He seems to also seem to swell up and cut relatively easily too. That could be troublesome for this young man.

    His mandible isn't very relevant as, like Floyd, it will probably only be tested a handful of times in his career. And on top of that never in succession. His short reach would probably hold him back more than his power as well.

    NO man's mandible is as relevant as Floyd's, as Floyd's mandible in made of the finest/sturdiest material Earth has to offer, the man's mandible is adamantium.

    He lost a long tactical battle Steve Davis in his Crucible debut so for me his chin is highly questionable as a result.

    He should have transplanted some of that adamantium to his cajones.

    26-0 in world title fights, fought many atgs, 50-0 at the end of the month, smashed Pacquiao/Canelo/Cotto etc etc.

    One of the greatest ever to lace em them gloves. That's a fact.

    Gervonta Davis' mandible and lack of IQ could be his undoing.
    Please discuss!

    Loma walked through Marriaga's best shots, a guy with a 75% KO ratio, Gervonta got tagged clean a few times by a guy with a 52% KO ratio, he shelled up and ran like a little girl for a round.

    He was biding his time for something great, and it resulted in a clean stoppage!

    By acting like a scared ***** the one time a featherfisted opened up on him? That's quite an odd strategy.:lol:

    Don't question the strategy implemented by an esteemed member of TMT.

    Tank Davis I see will rule 130.

    Top 25 ATG is considered one of the greatest, I'll agree. Floyd gave us a few good fights and his bouts are used to teach fighters in gyms all around the world.













    But he was lacking in the packing if you catch my drift.
