    all in all, I'm impressed with him. He seems to have the complete offensive package. I think he is TMT's best fighter unless someone thinks otherwise. Can this kid be special?

    He reminds me of Broner. Good speed and power, but seems to stay stationary under attack. If Pedraza had any kind of power, things might be different.

    On another note, I just read that he has a fight lined up in the UK. Not sure against who, though. Any truth to that?

    I think he'll be a little better than Broner @mono but he gets his easily. Gervonta can punch like crazy though so if the mayweather camp could teach him to get hit less, he will be a force.

    I hope so. I just like it when a guy is getting attacked on the ropes but lands better shots in between the other dudes offense. Like when Alvarez knocked Smith out.

    Also, does Mayweather not like Davis getting some spotlight or what? Why would he send him off to the UK for his first defense?

    Davis looks alot more promising and better than Broner did back at 130 pounds

    Mayweather is pissed that Gervonta Davis didn't want to move to Las Vegas. Davis is a really good fighter but nowhere near elite like Loma.

    Well balanced boxer, power, speed, head movement, body punching, accuracy, southpaw.
    IMO he's a p4p talent.

    Broner-like, but better. He'll beat Liam Walsh. I'd like to see him in with Salido next.

    He looks a bit special. He has speed, power and accuracy and good skills. Nasty uppercut too. Definitely better than Broner.

    Remember Broner was very highly rated before he moved up. You guys really rate Davis so high or is it you never bought into the Broner hype?
