Sergio Mora QUESTIONS Gervonta Davis “NOT FREAKING the BEST”; prefers Haney to win!
In the world of professional boxing, many critics and sports analysts constantly share their thoughts and perspectives on possible match-ups. Recently, one such voice was that of former WBC light-middleweight champion Sergio Mora. Mora, who is now a respected boxing commentator, questioned the choice of opponents for American boxing star, Gervonta “Tank” Davis.
Mora voiced his criticism during a recent interview, pointing out that “Davis isn’t fighting the best,” in his opinion. He went on to add that he firmly supports Devin Haney, should he face Davis in the ring.
“In my opinion, Gervonta Davis, although a fantastic fighter, isn’t battling the true warriors of the boxing world,” Mora continued. His comments stirred the pot in the boxing community, as many observers have long been eager for a Davis vs Haney fight.
Gervonta Davis is currently the WBA (World Boxing Association) regular lightweight champion. He boasts an impressive record of 24 wins and no losses, with 23 of his victories coming through knockouts. Despite this, Mora’s statements reflect an undercurrent of dissatisfaction among many that Davis isn’t squaring off with what they perceive to be the cream of the boxing crop.
On the other hand, we have Devin Haney, the reigning WBC lightweight champion. Haney sports an equally impressive undefeated record of 25 wins, with 15 of them via knockouts. His defensive style of boxing and exceptional speed have earned him the moniker “The Dream.”
Mora, supporting his claims, made it abundantly clear why he thinks Haney would emerge victoriously in a showdown against Davis. Haney, according to Mora, has proven himself by taking on and besting high-caliber fighters in the ring. “Haney shows that he’s not afraid of any challenge and will square off with anyone, anywhere,” he added.
Although Gervonta Davis’ camp has not yet responded to Mora’s comments officially, it’s undoubtedly adding another layer to the ongoing narrative about a potential Davis vs Haney match. Interestingly, it’s a fight that both Davis and Haney have expressed interest in, with both camps acknowledging that it would be an exceptional showdown.
As of now, there are no concrete plans for a Davis-Haney showdown. Both fighters appear to have other matches on their radar, with Davis potentially facing the winner of the Josh Taylor-Jose Ramirez fight and Haney looking at a match against Jorge Linares. However, given the intense interest in a Davis vs Haney bout, it’s not unreasonable to expect a showdown within the next year or two.
In conclusion, while Sergio Mora’s comments have certainly enlivened boxing debates, it is ultimately up to the fighters and their promotion teams to make this much-anticipated fight happen. The majority of boxing aficionados, nevertheless, would love to see Gervonta Davis face Devin Haney in the ring, confirming once and for all who deserves the top spot in their weight division.
