Terence Crawford revealed his dislike of Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis and said Shakur Stevenson would hit him. Crawford says he chooses WBC lightweight champion Stevenson to defeat Tank because he couldn’t “land his shots on him. His defense is too good.
Terence does not say how Stevenson can beat the tank if his entire focus is not and is avoided to be hit. That’s all he does, and fans hate the outdated throwback mayweather-esque hit-and-not-get-hit style from the early 2000s. If Crawford’s attempts to talk a tank to make his friend Shakur fight, he would do a real solid for him, but it’s not going to work. Gervonta was not born yesterday. He knows what Crawford is trying to do.
Shakur (22-0, 10 CO’s) begs to fight against the superstar tank Davis (30-0, 28 CO’s) since he moved up in 2024 to 135, but he did nothing to market himself as worthwhile To share the part does not ring with him. Shakur did badly in his last two fights against Artem Harutyunyan and Edwin de Los Santos. He made fans run out against Harutyunyan and brought him out of existence in the De Los Santos match.
Crawford’s personal dislike of Davis
“He wouldn’t even think about coming up to 154,” Terence Crawford said Cigar talk About Gervonta Davis. “Yes, if he could choose his opponent,” Terence said when asked if Tank would come to 147.
“If Tank could choose his opponent, he would do it, but he would never come from 135 to 154,” Crawford said, not realizing that Tank had already moved up two divisions. I really don’t like that guy because I don’t like him. I don’t like anything about him.
“I feel like he’s one of those arrogant little fees he uses he got to protect him. He has many security guards around him, and he knows he’s in the spotlight. In certain situations he would not act like that, ‘says Crawford.
Tank Davis has already moved up two weight classes from the beginning of his career. Why would he have to go up three more divisions to fight at 154? What is it about? Yes, Crawford is a former world champion of four divisions, but he did not fight great opposition in those weight classes. He moves to 168 for a one -time to get a payday against Canelo Alvarez. It’s not like Crawford will stay there afterwards.
He just goes to payday, takes his loss and probably retires or returns from where he came at 154. If he does get back to the junior middleweight, it would only be to choose Sebastian Fundora, a vulnerable champion. He is not about to fight someone well, such as Bakrahm Murtazaliev, Vergil Ortiz Jr., Serhii Bohachuk, or Rematch Israil Madrimov.
“He is a damn good fighter, I respect him as a fighter. He has skills, he has power, and he has a tremendous boxing ability. But his nuclear personality and his ways, no. I got Shakur, ”Crawford said when I was asked who would win a fight between Tank Davis and Shakur Stevenson.
“As I said, I respect Tank. In boxing he is one of those. We are going to get his personality and personal things out of it. In boxing he is definitely talented, and he certainly has it. He is definitely respected in boxing, but Shakur is another fighter. “
Shakur: The boring truth
Crawford is right. Shakur is an ‘other fighter’, but he is toxic to the fans and is not good for the sport to help grow it. It is not accidentally that Shakur’s fight against Floyd Schofield will be buried on Saturday’s under map on Saturday’s under map. He was placed on that place for obvious reasons.
‘Shakur is different. People can say he is boring. People can say he can’t hit, but they said the same about Floyd because they are defensive fighters, ”says Crawford. ‘Tank will not be able to hit Shakur as he hit everyone else. He knows it, which is why he is boring. He is it, He is it. ”
I hate breaking it to Crawford, but Tank could hit Shakur and hurt him. He is not untouchable. Terence may have shaped his opinion that Shakur has watched him over the past few years how he beat less opposition, but he is certainly hit unless he runs. He should have lost the fight against Edwin de Los Santos because he did not throw bumps.
“He’s trying to reduce everything Shakur did, so it’s not marketable,” Crawford said. “But he can’t do that, because Shakur is a three -weight world champion. How many real titles did the tank have? Like two? Real titles. (Jose) Pedraza, he drained Pedraza. Let’s do it on an even playing field. Give that man time to practice. “
Gervonta tells it as it is by saying that Shakur is boring because that is the truth. Fighters who have that style are so scared to be hit that they go out of their way not to be touched. They must be weeds out of the sport.
‘Tank is ideal for what he does, and I respect tank in the ring and his skills, his strength and qualities. He is smart. He can box his A ** off. I’m not saying I will choose Shakur just because of our differences. I tell you as a fighter. I would choose Shakur, because I don’t think Tank could land his shots on him as he does. Shakur’s defense is too stiff.
