There’s only one way to settle beef in boxing! What’s that? Through a boxing match, of course. So, retired world champion Shane Mosley has suggested Gervonta Davis and Floyd Mayweather should do the same like Mike Tyson and Jake Paul. The former boxer-promoter/mentor duo has been throwing shade at each other for a while now! Why?

According to reports, Mayweather took a sly but subtle dig at his former star fighter, claiming fighters today chose to blow their money on expensive stuff. Instead of doing the smart thing by investing it. Davis promptly responded to this by revealing Floyd was stuck in Dubai. Why? Ironically, because of unpaid dues. Thus, starting their feud! While appearing in an interview with The Art Of Dialogue, Shane Mosley quickly proposed a fight to finally settle the beef! 

Shane Mosley sees the fight happening at 140 or 145 pounds

Speaking about who would win between Davis and prime Floyd Mayweather, Mosley seemed confident ‘Pretty Boy’ would emerge victorious. However, when the host asked what would the result be if ‘Tank’ and ‘Money’ fought today, Mosley didn’t seem to have an answer. So, he said, “They should run that! Let’s see [if they can hold their own]. That [would] be a big one.”

Davis is 29-years-old and Mayweather is sitting comfortably at 47, so a fight isn’t impossible. Mosley’s proposal, though, has breathed new life into the idea, making the fight seem even more feasible. He said, “Then, you know, they could sanction it like Tyson and Jake Paul doing, right? To see if he can hold his own. Let’s run it! Do it at 140, 145.”

While Davis last entered the ring in April last year, Mayweather has also remained relatively active. Even though not as talented as Davis, John Gotti III fought Mayweather in June last year, proving ‘Money’ can still do the dance in the ring. However, it’s entirely up to both fighters whether they would want such a fight to happen. Nevertheless, a not so old tweet from Gervonta Davis suggests he would win in a fight against Mayweather.

Amid feud with Gervonta Davis, Floyd Mayweather announces his next fight

During the peak of their feud, Gervonta Davis tweeted, “Now I f*** around and knock Floyd out when I see em and I’ll care about going back to jail,” referencing his 90 days stint in Baltimore jail for breaking house arrest rules. He further added, “He such a b**** he don’t allow his security carry guns…”

Soon afterwards, Floyd Mayweather hopped on Instagram to announce his next fight, full announcement due on May 15. While the opponent is unlikely to be Davis, Mayweather has been linked with several potential opponents, alongside a failed rematch attempt against last exhibition opponent John Gotti III.

Though unlikely, a fight between Floyd Mayweather and Gervonta Davis has the potential to overshadow even the Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul fight. However, hypothetically if they did fight and that too on the same card, the numbers from such an event will be astronomical! What do you think? Would you want to watch such a clash?
