The scary reality of facing Gervonta “Tank” Davis

Here's the real scary reality

How many actual real world champions has he fought and not WBA regular champs?

How many were shot to hell?

Dragged up in weight at least 1 or 2 divisions?

How many were champions at the weight he fought them at?

Were world champions long before he fought them?

Twink is a legit two-weight champ but it was only a legit one-weight one until he was recently upgraded to full WBA champ by his good buddies at the WBA after Haney vacated his belts

Of the 10 'world champions' he has fought

Yuriorkis Gamboa was the WBA regular champ, 38 y/o and shot to hell and was a real world champion way back in 2013

Cristobal Cruz was 38, shot to bits, a world champion way back in 2009 down at 126, as was 1-7-2 in his last 11 fights

Hugo Ruiz was a world champion down at 122

Jesus Marcelo Cuellar was a former WBA regular champion down at 126, a career 126 who never fought at 130, and was coming off a 16 month layoff and a loss but was somehow nominated to contest the vacant 130 title with Tank.

''Somehow'' meaning that someone has a very cosy relationship with the WBA and one could easily be forgiven for thinking that the WBA's palms are being greased by someone they shouldn't be in return for favours because the WBA, and the WBA regular belt, is a recurring theme here

More on the Cuellar corruption

Mario Barrios was the WBA regular champion at 140 who won his belt via a hometown gift from his three home judges against a seven fight novice. Not sure if he's been upgraded to the full champ at 147 yet or not but he earned his shot at the WBC interim belt after going 1-2 in his previous 3 fights, the KO loss to Twink at 140 and getting schooled by an injury-ravaged inactive Keithy who hadn't fought in 2.5 years. Barrios won the interim belt against Ugas who earned his shot at it by getting the soul beaten out of his body and stopped in his previous fight by Spence

Leo Santa Cruz was the IBF champ at 118, the WBC champ at 122, the WBA champ at 126, and he won the WBA belt in his previous fight, and only fight at 130, when paired up for the vacant title against fellow 126 pounder. Twink was always a 135 pounder not a 130 and his size and power advantage was always going to be way too much for 122-126 pounder Leo who prior to then the hardest puncher he'd faced was probably blown up 122 pounder Frampton

Hector Garcia was the champ at 130 and dragged up to 135

Rolando Romero became the WBA 140 champ in his very next fight after getting knocked out by Twink down at 135 when he was paired up against a 40 y/o Barroso for the vacant title despite the fact he'd never fought at that weight and, as said, was coming off a KO loss in his previous fight.

The corruption was on full display as soon as they announced the fight. It was supposed to be a gimme for Rolly to pick up a free world title but Rolly is such trash even senior citizen Barroso (who was KO'd by KO32% Anthony Crolla way back in his prime) not only dropped him but was soundly beating his ass prior to the corrupt as sin ref having to intervene to make sure everything went according to plan and Rolly left the ring with that belt wrapped around his waist

The ref called a blatant push a KD in Rolly's favour and then later dived and waved the fight off over nothing in what was one of the most brazen displays of corruption you'll ever see

And let's not forget Rolly also got his ass whooped by Jackson Martinez prior to facing Twink but the three home judges robbed Martinez blind.

Jose Pedraza was the IBF champ at 130 and the WBO champion at 135

Isaac Cruz Isaac became world champion by beating the useless Rolly


As for Twink's 'Three weight world champion'' status

He became a two weight 'world champion' after being paired up for the vacant WBA regular belt against a shot always chinny 38 y/o Cuban leprechaun Gamboa who'd stopped 2 of his last 11 opponents.

And he became a three-weight 'world champion' when he beat Barrios for the good old WBA's regular belt. Loma was the real WBA world champion but he wanted zero part of him

Everyone knows Josh Taylor was the only world champion at 140 because he was, duh, undisputed but apparently he ''brought nothing to the table'' other than his four world titles, Ring belt, and P4P ranking. Barrios brought more than him

Twink is an excellent fighter but his resume is trash. He had over 220 amateur fights and has been a pro for 11 years but his best win still to this day is Pedraza who Loma took on as a tune up just seven months after shoulder surgery when not near 100%. Loma's surgeon strongly advised him to not come back that quickly and when Loma refused to listen he advised Loma to devise a game plan which revolved around not throwing his right hook.

People quickly forget that Frank Martin arguably lost his previous fight to someone no one had heard of and if he didn't it was a 7-5 fight at best

See what I mean about smoke and mirrors?
