In the world of boxing, certain fighters rise above the rest, capturing the attention of fans and fellow legends alike. Gervonta Davis is undeniably one of these exceptional talents, touted as one of the best current boxers on the planet and the future of the sport. Davis has earned a reputation for his mesmerizing fighting style and devastating punching power. Moreover, this has led to him drawing comparisons to legendary boxers like Mike Tyson, despite being in the Lightweight division.

‘Tank’ has emerged as a force to be reckoned with in the boxing world. With a skillful and aggressive approach, he has left a trail of defeated opponents in his wake. His journey to greatness is currently ongoing and is similar to that of former Cruiserweight champion Evander Holyfield. In addition, the boxing legend feels that ‘Tank’ might just be more dangerous than a prime Tyson.

Evander Holyfield crowns Gervonta Davis as boxing’s most dangerous

In a recent interview with FightHype, the former two-division world champion spoke glowingly about Davis. In his assessment, Holyfield highlighted the similarities between Tyson, Davis, and Pernell Whitaker. While ‘Tank’ possesses defensive skills like ‘Sweet Pea’, he also had incredible knockout power like ‘Iron Mike’. According to ‘The Real Deal’ this is what makes Davis more dangerous than Tyson in his prime.

“You know, see, it’s different. See, Pernell Whitaker was a skillful boxer, but you know, Tank is a skillful boxer and a hard puncher so he got both of them. So that would make him even more dangerous.” he said.
