What happens when legends of today collide with legends of the past? Practically, this is impossible, but that hasn’t stopped fans from drumming up scenarios—Whether it’s the great Muhammad Ali vs. Mike Tyson or Manny Pacquiao vs. Julio Cesar Chavez. In a more modern dream scenario, Gervonta Davis has been pitted against a legend of the sport.
So, you must be wondering—who is ‘Tank’ Davis fighting in this fantasy boxing match? Well, it’s none other than two-time world champion from Venezuela, Edwin Valero. In a social media post, the World Boxing Association asked boxing fans about their predictions for a fight between the duo. And boy, have they answered.

A feat like this made Valero a terrifying presence in the ring and a formidable opponent for anyone, including Gervonta Davis.
