Can prime Floyd Mayweather beat Gervonta Davis? While an actual fight between them is never happening, this didn’t stop boxing commentator ShowBizz the Adult from pitting the former promoter boxer duo against each other in a fantasy clash! And boy, does a fight between them look spicy! 

As many are well aware of, ‘Money’ Mayweather retired from the sport back in 2017 after a win against Conor McGregor in a crossover boxing match. In contrast, Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis has just stepped into his prime years, having defeated Frank Martin in his last outing. But the question is, will Mayweather’s defense prove too much for ‘Tank’? Or will Davis’ destructive power tear through Mayweather’s defense?

ShowBizz the Adult reminds people about Mayweather’s speed

Speaking about the subject in a clip he shared on his X account today, the boxing commentator suggested a fight between Floyd and Davis would be great at 135-pounds. However, from the beginning, he had the winner in his mind. He said, “But Ima tell you this though Floyd wins”. 

While many would agree with ShowBizz, he goes on to emphasize Mayweather’s speed to justify his prediction. “Floyd got a great ass chin, Floyd is a killer, and he may be twice the speed of Tank. People forget how fast Floyd was”, said the boxing commentator. He goes as far as to compare Mayweather’s speed to one of boxing’s biggest legends.

“Floyd handspeed would rival Sugar Ray Leonard. Remember Pretty Boy, how he would be like his arms would be out here, and he will be just depending on his reflexes and Bam Bam”, said ShowBizz. Claiming to have thought about this fantasy matchup for a couple of weeks, ShowBizz the Adult doubled down on his prediction by repeating Floyd would win.

Floyd Mayweather is 47! Yes, he partakes in exhibition boxing matches every now and then, but none of his opponents are near the caliber of the boxer Davis is. Time and age come for every boxer and Mayweather is no different—it would be extremely unlikely for Mayweather to have retained his speed and power. Gervonta Davis would easily steamroll through the former five division champion.

And get this, even ‘Tank’ Davis’ coach feels the same way, as he challenged Floyd Mayweather for an actual fight against Davis!

Coach Kenny Ellis is confident that ‘Tank’ can decode Floyd’s moves

If you have kept up with the headlines lately, Floyd Mayweather and Gervonta Davis aren’t on the best of terms with each other. However, their relationship wasn’t always on the brink of total collapse. In the beginning, Mayweather mentored the lightweight champion. However, after a long-lasting conflict between the duo, Davis left Mayweather Promotions. 

Regardless, earlier this month, coach Kenny Ellis hopped on Instagram to issue a challenge to the 47-year-old legend. He wrote, “Gervonta Davis can decode the [shoulder] roll. If Floyd can fight another exhibition he can fight another [professional] fight. If he’s [as] great as he says he is let’s stop spinning the fans – Gervonta vs. Floyd”.

In the very rare case, this fight somehow happens—it won’t be unheard of. After all, former heavyweight champion George Foreman defeated 26-year-old Michael Moorer to become IBF and WBA heavyweight champion at the age of 45. But the bigger question is, can Floyd beat Davis?
