Comments Thread For: Ellerbe: Gervonta Davis is Willing To Fight Anyone, Big Fights in 2021

[Removed Now]

I am not a fan of Davies for some reason.

[Sctrojan]

Technically Abner Mares is "anyone" so theres some truth to this statement....

The biggest issue I got with Tank is he don't really seem to give a fook who he fights. He just enjoys the money he's getting I feel like & the rest is whatever. He'll go where people want him to go. He's not scared or any of that bs, I just think he gives lil fooks about proving he's #1. Which is highly unusual with top guys, although I suppose when you are from where Tank is from & have buried people maybe you don't give a fook about goals in the same way others do cuz you know it can be taken from you in a moment so not giving a fook is almost a defense mechanism.

Your probably on to something here. I think he will fight whoever is put in front of him and honestly I rate him at the top of 130 or 135 on any given day. I just think he cares too much about a legacy or P4P lists or any of that really.

It's been hard to care about his career since the Pedraza fight. I thought he would have gone a long way since then but it's still the only actual fight he's ever been in.

Fight Teofimo Lopez then

This came out yesterday, or day before:

Sources: Teofimo Lopez Jr.'s next fight likely against George Kambosos Jr. in spring

Top Rank, which manages Lopez, is negotiating with Kambosos' team on a deal. There was early talk of this fight being in Kambosos' homeland of Australia, where there could be a larger crowd, but the intention now. according to sources, is for the bout to take place in the U.S. due to COVID-19 restrictions and quarantine requirements in Australia, among other things. New York has been mentioned as an early location option.

Kambosos (19-0, 10 KOs) became the IBF mandatory challenger after defeating Lee Selby by split decision in October...

Lopez told ESPN his ideal plan for 2021 is fighting Haney at lightweight before moving up to the junior welterweight division to face the winner of the May 8 Jose Ramirez-Josh Taylor undisputed title bout. That could still be in store as the year goes on, but he knows Kambosos is likely next.

"The only thing that is holding it up is my mandatory. I have to pay my respect to that guy. He fought his way up, the same way I had to fight my way up to be IBF lightweight world champion before I got to the point where I fought Vasiliy Lomachenko," Lopez told ESPN. "I'll deal with that process first, negotiate, see what happens, and if they agree with all the terms, that will have to be the guy. It's not because it's who I want but because it's my mandatory. A lot of people say I'm ducking a lot of people, but I'm not. I got to go through the process -- that's just part of the game. If things go south, Devin Haney is the next guy, and hopefully we can make that fight happen without him trying to overprice himself."

"I'm a true champion. I'm not letting go of any of my belts."

If Kambosos' team doesn't agree to a deal this week, the IBF will send a letter for a purse bid Saturday.
