In the world of boxing, certain fighters rise above the rest, capturing the attention of fans and fellow legends alike. Gervonta Davis is undeniably one of these exceptional talents, touted as one of the best current boxers on the planet and the future of the sport. Davis has earned a reputation for his mesmerizing fighting style and devastating punching power. Moreover, this has led to him drawing comparisons to legendary boxers like Mike Tyson, despite being in the Lightweight division.
‘Tank’ has emerged as a force to be reckoned with in the boxing world. With a skillful and aggressive approach, he has left a trail of defeated opponents in his wake. His journey to greatness is currently ongoing and is similar to that of former Cruiserweight champion Evander Holyfield. In addition, the boxing legend feels that ‘Tank’ might just be more dangerous than a prime Tyson.
Evander Holyfield crowns Gervonta Davis as boxing’s most dangerous
In a recent interview with FightHype, the former two-division world champion spoke glowingly about Davis. In his assessment, Holyfield highlighted the similarities between Tyson, Davis, and Pernell Whitaker. While ‘Tank’ possesses defensive skills like ‘Sweet Pea’, he also had incredible knockout power like ‘Iron Mike’. According to ‘The Real Deal’ this is what makes Davis more dangerous than Tyson in his prime.
“You know, see, it’s different. See, Pernell Whitaker was a skillful boxer, but you know, Tank is a skillful boxer and a hard puncher so he got both of them. So that would make him even more dangerous.” he said.
By comparing Davis to other legends, Holyfield has shed light on his ability to encompass both technical finesse and raw knockout power. This unique blend of attributes positions ‘Tank’ as a formidable force in the boxing world. With him now getting released from jail the future looks bright for the young star to become the next icon of the sport. Moreover, Tyson also thinks that the 28-year-old will be a legend in no time if he keeps this pace up.
Mike Tyson’s seal of approval: ‘Tank’ touted as boxing’s future legend.
In an interview with TMZ, Tyson was asked about the comparisons being made between him and Davis. In response, Tyson praised Davis as a great boxer and agreed that he has the potential to become a legendary figure in the sport. He also emphasized that for Davis to solidify his place among the boxing greats, he must continue on his current trajectory and stay dedicated to his professional career.
“Tank is a great fighter, He’ll be [a legend] too if he keeps fighting,” said Tyson.
Tyson’s acknowledgment of Davis as a great fighter and a future legend in the making further adds to the anticipation and excitement surrounding his career. Moreover, Iron Mike’s journey to becoming a boxing legend serves as an inspiring example for Davis to follow. With the seal of approval from Tyson, ‘Tank’s’ status as a future legend in the sport is further solidified. As Davis continues to shine in the ring, fans and experts eagerly await his journey and anticipate the legacy he will carve in the world of boxing.
