Jeff Mayweather thinks Ryan Garcia has no chance against Gervonta Davis

During an interview with Fight Hype, Floyd Mayweather’s uncle and former trainer, Jeff Mayweather, revealed his take on Garcia vs Davis clash. According to him, although Garcia is a skilled boxer and taller than ‘Tank,’ he doesn’t have the power. He stated that Davis could end the fight with one punch and claimed that he hasn’t seen Garcia come close to replicating this.

“I pick Gervonta all the way. I don’t think Ryan has a chance at all. Everybody that fought Tank is taller than him. That don’t mean anything. Tank has got something that everybody else don’t have, and that’s the equalizer. It ain’t nothing like Tank,” he said. While Davis is certainly the more experienced boxer among the two, Garcia’s skill cannot be overlooked. Moreover, he is just 26 years old and making his way up in the lightweight division.
