    Davis and by some measure.

    Davis catches a lot of flak on here--some of it justifiable, some of it not--and his power remains his calling card, but he's actually quite crafty with his work.

    Yeah, I think defensively Davis is clearly the superior fighter. Navarette obviously has greater activity, but when Davis elects to throw his combinations and punch selection are just as good. Combined with better timing and versatility, that tips the scales to Tank.

    Davis is the more technically sound fighter. Navarette, though, is unorthodox which makes him a problem for most. Davis carries more power.

    Bro, as much as I like Navarette, Tank Davis is by far the better boxer. Better fighter remains the question. Navarette is so unbalanced and clumsy at times that he makes Antonio Margarito look like Jorge Linares out there.

    Navarette is Danill Medvedev of boxing

    He looks so unorthodox, poor technique but yet he is one of the very best in the world

    Tank would roll Navarrete up.

    It would be an entertaining fight while it lasts before Tank knocks him out.

    Easy choice, Davis of course. It would be an entertaining fight if they were to meet at 130 though but Davis just too good for Navarette.
