How do we know that, when he has not faced the competition to test that? :yeshrug:
Davis has fought lots of decent opposition, numerous times, heck everyone at that level is very good (Rollie perhaps not, but thats a huge 135 fighter compared to him, landed a few too.)

He just hasn't fought the top, top names aka the 50/50 fights that are at the next level of difficulty/risk, or at least taken those fights when it mattered.

His only peers that have are Teo, Devin, and Ryan and Tank beat Ryan and Ryan beat Dev and Teo lost to Kambozo lol. Devin and Teo both beat Loma.

Maybe Tank is just that much better than everyone there isnt much 50/50 out there

Shakur and Lomachenko both have belts at 135, a regarded champion boxer is going to try and get those belts and knock them off (ducking from all parties aside.) Davis won't ever fight Lopez or Haney, they're almost at 147 now, but he had the chance to when they both had all the belts.

To be truly regarded you need to fight the big names. Whether his fault or not he's had the chances to go for it, but it didn't and hasn't happened.

coulda fought Loma years ago

Exactly, I love how Tank fans love to look over that. Waited until Loma was "extra seasoned" to then now ask for the fight. Tank literally had a verbal fight with Floyd because Floyd wanted that matchup 5 years ago. Tank said "Floyd was trying to set him up". Hilarious

But on the flip side, Shakur got criticized for "being too vocal asking to fight Loma". Funny how the world works lol

coulda woulda shoulda. Loma is a Champ now and got an offer and turned it down. Loma never sent Tank offers, why is Tank the only person in boxing forced to send offers? Tank is bigger than ever and gives Loma a better pay day now than back then.

you nikkas gotta stop this stupid shyt.

Pretty sure Loma bout to retire in the next year or so, fight don’t got the same pop it would in years past. Uk damn well they ain’t want the fight when Loma was P4P

He needa the fight the young stars in the division, he really should be all these lil nikkas OG at this point; folks be callin him the best boxer in the world and his biggest win in last 4 years is weight drained Garcia

He is these nikkas OGs what are you talking about? Even his peers consider him the best. What world do you nikkas live in? Loma was never a public darling to say the fight was bigger back then. Tank is at his peak impact wise, and Loma is still Loma, so how is the fight not bigger now?

You twerked right past my question on why is Tank the one who has to send offers? all these folks have teams, why can't they send an offer? Why when Tank reaches out to Shakur who is a free agent, Shakur signs with Matchroom with a Cordina and Zepeda fight already announced moments after? you nikkas aren't serious.
