Fans react to the IFL TV post on Gervonta Davis and Roberto Duran

The post by IFL TV on Twitter featuring Gervonta Davis and Roberto Duran sparked a huge debate among boxing fans. The post compared Davis, with the legendary lightweight boxer, Duran. Many fans were quick to express their opinions about the hypothetical matchup.

Boxing Polls raised concerns about the use of catchweight and rehydration clauses in Davis’ fights, stating, “This is why, despite the tank fanboy’s objections, it is important to know that catchweight & rehydration clauses were utilized on tank opponents. Duran used no such thing even against one of the top 3 MW of all time – hagler. SRL & Hearns, no clauses.”

One fan, Drift, commented, “Duran built different…..that WHOLE generation of fighters different….Camacho..SRL..hearns…haggler…they fought to survive…to feed their kids. Those dudes would never quit on their knees……they’d rather die.”

Another fan, Nathan Thorley, praised Duran’s technical abilities, stating, “Jesus Christ this fight wouldn’t go past 3 rounds Duran was one of the greatest technical fighters to grace the earth.”
