Gervonta Davis and Floyd Mayweather Jr. have traded insults in recent months enough for “Tank’s” coach Kenny Ellis to make a bold statement.
“Gervonta Davis could decode the shoulder roll,” Ellis took to his Instagram account Tuesday and said, betting on his charge to solve Mayweather’s complex defensive strategy in the ring.
“If Floyd can fight another exhibition, he can fight another fight. If he’s [as] great as he says he is, let’s stop spinning the fans – Gervonta vs. Floyd.”
Such a dream bout ever coming to fruition would also mark great irony as Mayweather Promotions guided the career of Davis before their reported falling out.
Mayweather ended his professional boxing career in August 2017 with a pristine 50-0 record with 27 knockouts. Since then, the boxing Hall of Famer and self-proclaimed “The Best Ever” has competed in seven exhibition bouts.
Davis (30-0, 28 KOs) is the current WBA lightweight world champion, having knocked out Frank Martin just last month.
Mayweather is 47 years old, while “Tank” is 29.
