      This is why I can NEVER understand where the hate people have for him come from. Nobody is perfect but you gotta respect the ones who take full advantage of the blessings God gave them and us to witness. This is a special kid Naturally talented. If he wasn't a professional, he would probably be on the streets of Baltimore still KO niggas. His trainer found him as a kid and honed, developed and polished him up turned him into one of the Greatest ever. Prime example of when you give a diamond in some of the roughest neighborhoods and show him his potential and help him achieve it. We are witnessing one of the Greates P4P fighters whoever lived. We reliving a modern day Mike Tyson. Boxing fans should be Grateful! 💯

      He’s solid as they come and my favorite boxer for THESE reasons. Outside AND inside the ring, reasons. I can support a guy out of the ring that I don’t like as much in the ring. It’s harder for me to support a guy for just who he is in the ring. How could I go for him win, lose or draw, ya know? As supporters should. And I’m always mindful of the fact that nobody’s perfect but we can aim to be solid like I believe Tanks proven to, over and over 🦍💯

      Nah. He’s closer to 30 years old. To be taking damage after 30 is way different from when you’re in your 20s. I feel like a lot of successful fighters should consider an earlier retirement rather than fighting until their 40. Shows he cares about his health and future more than the cycle of continuously trying to “please ppl”.

He (Davis) felt comfortable enough to speak openly and honestly. Someone made this young man feel deceived and betrayed. I really admire this kid and his great boxing abilities. This Fella has the skills, talent, and ability to become greater than Floyd Mayweather. But what he has that Mayweather didn’t have is the power and the calmness, and he can take the punches. ❤
