    Mediocre boxing skill with game changing power. Neutralize that power ( Cruz and Roach) and he isn’t anything special at all.

    @Wizbit1013 @African Cobra you didn't watch the fight? Barrios won rounds 1, 2, 3, 4, 9 and towards victory was caught bad with that left. It was a road accident.

    And Roach beat him.

    He didn't look like that in his last fight.

    Davis has a Fragile Glass Mandible. It's not even debatable.

    I actually watched it live

    Honestly can't remember my scoring but that sounds dubious

    But yes Roach should have won

    That would still be a helluva lot more than that snake-oil salesman Matthew Fouts knows about boxing.

    He took little to no risk before he became a name too.

    Ive always thought that Gervonta Davis was overrated even before Saturday night. He has never been the best at his weight class off merit and has never fought the best at his weight class.

    He is not a 3 division champion. He held 1 belt at 130 years ago and ducked Lomachenko\

    Never won a belt in the ring at 135. Had it emailed.

    Ducked Lomachenko, Shakur, Teofimo, Haney and Kambosos

    All his fans just give him imaginary wins without him ever having to prove it. It's not like he's a low-profile fighter who can't get big fights. He is the cash cow at the weight so he can choose who he fights.
