WBA lightweight champion Gervonta Davis is often regarded as the ‘Face of Boxing’ today. But there are countless in the community who feel the Baltimore native is not deserving of the prestigious title. Well, YouTuber Showbizz The Adult is one of them. In his latest rant on YouTube, Showbiz tore apart Davis’ legacy while roping in Floyd Mayweather and Vasyl Lomachenko. The 30-year-old puncher is about to get in the ring against Lamont Roach in Brooklyn, New York for Davis’ WBA title. However, there has been criticism towards the bout, which claims the fight is too easy for Davis and he is avoiding any real challenge, mainly because Roach normally fights in the super featherweight division.
Regardless, before Roach, Davis had his eye on someone else. ‘Tank’ was in talks with Ukraine’s Vasyl Lomachenko to unify their belts. This also came hand-in-hand with criticism that, now that ‘Loma’ is too old, Davis decided to fight him. Anyway, Lomachenko decided to pull out of the fight talks, claiming he wanted a break and would like to spend more time with his family.
Fast forward to today, Showbizz accused Davis of fighting nobodies, despite having backing from one of the greatest boxers in recent history. What did he say?
Can you imagine, bro?” he began. “You [have been] fighting from six years old. You meet a legend in Floyd Mayweather. You think all is about to be right with the world. I’m about to clean everybody up. And you fight none of them? And you look around and you [are] 30-31 years old and you know that you are the best one. I’m not saying that he is the best one, I’m saying that he knows he is the best one,” he stated.
Notably, Mayweather discovered Davis back in 2015 and immediately offered him a contract with his promotional company, Mayweather Promotions. Regardless, Showbizz insinuates that while Davis thinks he is the best, the reality is very different.
“We got time for Lomachenko. That was four years ago. All of a sudden, he gets his chance. Lomachenko. Lomachenko like [looking uncertain]. Because Lomachenko fought Kambosos, Devin ‘The American Dream’ Haney, Teofimo Lopez, Garry Russell, Linares, Rigondeaux.”
“He done fought them all. He’s like, ‘I don’t feel like [fighting Davis]’. He can afford not to feel like. He ducked him but he is kinda like… And Tank’s like, ‘Damn! Hey Shakur’ and then he looks up, Lamont Roach. Another situation like this again. He like, ‘Man, I’m done,’” Showbizz added, referencing to Davis’s latest move. ‘Tank’ announced a week ago that he would retire in 2025.
