Gervonta Davis continues to tighten his grip over the boxing world and maintains his posting near the top. If you look beyond Canelo Alvarez, he is the first name on the list who could bag the coveted face of boxing title next. What adds to his allure is his unblemished record. But what if he were to drop a fight? Who can push him to a corner and still get his hand raised?

We went the unorthodox way to predict it—using Open AI’s ChatGPT. We know it may or may not be the most accurate tool out there. But it does give us a head start. So let’s dive into the list.

Technical operators: Shakur Stevenson and Devin Haney

Davis, 30, has carved out a reputation for himself for his explosive power, speed, and ring IQ. Putting him against technically gifted fighters such as Shakur Stevenson and Devin Haney will test his skills, and his celebrated weapons might even be nullified by them. ChatGPT pointed out how Stevenson, 27, had excellent footwork, precision, and ability to control the range. In addition, he is an elite defensive fighter who could neutralize ‘Tank’s strength. But his recent fights have left a lot to desire, and there will be questions about his ability to withhold Davis for 12 rounds.

A similar logic applies to Haney, 25, who has an excellent jab and boxing IQ. But it’s his side advantage that will make him a threat, as he can impose his will on Davis. ‘The Dream’ lacks knockout power, which could prove detrimental to his chances. But these are two names that even Bob Arum has faith in to break Davis’ zero.

Veterans: Vasiliy Lomachenko and George Kambosos Jr.

What’s a better substitute than experience in boxing? There is none. Vasiliy Lomachenko has done it all against all types and sizes of opponents, and he is looking for his retirement fight now. But you must have seen him puzzling his foes with a quick pair of legs, using angles and combinations to wreck damage. He could do the same with Davis and end up breaking his rhythm, which allows him to accelerate in the latter half of the fight. However, ‘The Matrix’s age and smaller frame could be an issue.

You should also keep George Kambosos Jr. in the mix, as the Australian boxer’s explosive nature and constant pressure could trouble Davis. He is a volume puncher, who you must have seen doing well in high-pressure fights. Now, pushing Davis on his back foot could be a smart tactic. But he might have to be careful, as the Baltimore native has enough power and smartness to exploit the lapse in judgment whenever he overcommits.

Ryan Garcia and Teofimo Lopez’s power against Gervonta Davis’

Well, Ryan Garcia vs. Gervonta Davis 2 is something we all want to see. Last time, ‘KingRy’s weight cut didn’t allow him to move around and made him vulnerable to the WBA champion’s power shots. But not in the rematch. You would believe he must have learned his lesson. All he needs to do is plug holes in his defensive game; his speed and reach will do the rest of the work. The fans might still wonder whether his body shot weakness will again be exposed.

Something similar could be said about Teofimo Lopez, who possesses devastating power and has a big heart. You should have a look at his resume, as he fought the absolute best that the division had to offer. He could go toe-to-toe with Davis and match his power and athleticism. But ‘The Takeover’ tends to blow hot and cold. If he can remain on top of his game, then he could put Davis to the canvas.

A rising prospect dislodging Gervonta Davis

There is a new surge of fighters who are ready to dethrone the old generation and A-listers. You can put Keyshawn Davis in the same bracket. He has already called out the lightweight champion multiple times and ignited a rivalry with him. After collecting a silver medal at the 2019 World Championship and 2020 Olympics, he has made a blistering start to his pro career. He has already raced to a perfect record of 12-0 and is targeting a title shot next.

What’s more? There is always a possibility of new fighters emerging and showcasing their caliber to take down Davis. The 30-0 record holder has a long list of suitors who want to bring him down. It remains to be seen whether he will shield his perfect record or not in 2025.
