“Don’t Count Him Out”: Bradley Tips Pacquiao for Stunning Win Over Gervonta Davis

The 30-year-old WBA lightweight champion last boxed on March 1 against former amateur foe Lamont Roach and things didn’t go to plan that night at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, as the unbeaten titleholder’s record was smeared with a contentious majority decision draw.
Davis (30-0-1, 28 KOs) revealed that retirement was a real possibility in the build-up to that title defence and while a rematch was tentatively slated for Aug. 16, things have taken a darker turn for “Tank” in the four months since their 12-round encounter.
On July 11, the three-division world champion was arrested in Miami Beach, Florida and now faces a misdemeanor battery charge stemming from a dispute with a former girlfriend. His court date is set for today.
As the Baltimore native’s world continues to swirl and uncertainty surrounds his future, recent Hall of Fame inductee Manny Pacquiao lurks in the background.

The 46-year-old ended a near four-year retirement earlier this month when taking on WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios, settling for a similarly debatable majority decision draw at Las Vegas’ MGM Grand.

Although an immediate rematch makes sense to secure clarity, Pacquiao (62-8-3, 39 KOs) has mentioned Davis’ name quite a bit recently. Physically, the current 135-pound champion would have an overwhelming edge – much younger, fresher and without wars the Filipino legend is known for. According to Tim Bradley though, it’s more nuanced than that.
“If he gets in that ring and he’s not all the way focused, he’s gonna get beat by Manny Pacquiao,” Bradley told The Ring.

Davis isn’t the only name Pacquiao has mentioned either, having floated the likes of Rolando “Rolly” Romero and a potential rematch with longtime rival Floyd Mayweather.

Bradley didn’t comment on whether or not the welterweight contender could beat those two, but with regards to Davis, the former two-division champion – who himself had a three-fight series with Pacquiao – has a strong feeling his former foe would be able to pull it off.
“I’m telling you, I know people are gonna think I’m crazy, but that 46-year-old can still fight,” Bradley continued. “Davis would have to be really focused in order to beat him. If that happens, and he’s not locked in, it can be a bad night for Tank.”

Ex-Champion Tim Bradley Raises Serious Concerns About Gervonta Davis’ Career

Manny Pacquiao is keen to fight Gervonta Davis following his majority draw against Mario Barrios.

Gervonta Davis, however, has been tangled in legal trouble. He was arrested on July 11 on domestic violence charges against his ex-girlfriend. And while he has since been released, Davis’ proposed August 16 rematch against Lamont Roach looks unlikely to take place on that date.

Pacquiao, meanwhile, showed that he still has some fight left in him during the Barrios clash. And now, a former world champion has claimed that ‘Tank’ Davis is no longer mentally there as a fighter and Pacquiao would beat him if the fight actually took place.

World champion warns Gervonta Davis about Manny Pacquiao fight

Speaking to Fight Hub TV, former WBC junior welterweight champion Tim Bradley believes Gervonta Davis is “done” and has “checked out mentally.” He also warns if ‘Tank’ doesn’t focus on fighting, he’ll get beat by Pacquiao.

‘Tank’ is done. ‘Tank’ is, hung them up, shoes off, get the bag, put a plaque up, he is done. ‘Tank’ has checked out mentally. ‘Tank’ is looking for the big bag of Jake Paul, Pacquiao.

He added, “He’s not gonna fight Shakur Stevenson at all. I don’t care how much money Turki offered, get him four Lamborghinis, ‘Tank’ ain’t taking that fight.”

He continued, “If he gets in that ring and he isn’t focus all the way in the head, he’s gonna get beat by Manny Pacquiao. He would get beat by Manny Pacquiao if he ain’t all the way focused in the ring.”

30-0-1 (28 KOs) Gervonta Davis is one of the biggest superstars in boxing and is must watch TV whenever he’s in action. However, he’s also often involved in out of the ring controversies.

Davis has been in talks to fight Jake Paul for a while, and with Pacquiao’s return, that has emerged as a new option. The real clash that fans want to see, however, is Davis vs Stevenson. Of course, everyone also wants to see how a Lamont Roach rematch would play out as well.

“Tank Is Finished”  Gervonta Davis Faces Harsh Criticism for Prioritizing Money Over Boxing

Throughout his career, Gervonta Davis has impressed with his power, speed and presence in the ring. But in recent months, the spotlight is no longer on his talent, but on his financial ambition. The theory that Davis has lost his competitive focus and is only looking for big paydays before retiring is growing stronger

Tim Bradley, former world champion and current boxing analyst, was blunt: “Tank is finished. He’s already mentally hung up the gloves.” This statement lit up social media and reignited the debate over whether Davis’ current approach is damaging his legacy.

The fights Gervonta Davis prioritizes: Jake Paul, Pacquiao or Ryan Garcia?

Instead of looking for clashes with top active boxers, Gervonta Davis seems to lean towards flashy duels, but less demanding in sporting terms. Possible opponents such as Jake Paul or even a retired legend like Manny Pacquiao are mentioned as his next options.

These are fights that generate millions of dollars in box office and PPV, although they do little for boxing prestige. His biggest payday so far was against Ryan Garcia in 2023, pocketing around $30 million. Since then, the competitive motivation seems to have waned.

He’s no longer focused on the sport

According to Bradley, Davis has lost the spark and discipline that took him to the top. His analysis points to an obvious mental disconnection, especially in his most recent fight against Lamont Roach, where he looked out of shape, with no rhythm or energy. “He’s thinking about something else. He doesn’t want to know about boxing anymore,” said the former fighter.

Most alarmingly, Bradley says, Tank has openly refused to fight Shakur Stevenson, one of the most technical and dangerous opponents around today. Even if he were offered millions or luxurious incentives, Davis seems unwilling to take the risk in such a demanding fight.

Tank Davis vs. Shakur Stevenson

Many fans believe that Tank Davis vs. Shakur Stevenson would be a historic fight. However, Shakur’s defensive, tactical style, which is difficult to connect with, does not seem to appeal to Davis. In addition, a possible defeat against a young and rising rival would tarnish his image.

Shakur would run him all over the fight. Even if Tank won, it would be an ugly fight. He doesn’t need that drama,” experts say. In contrast, a loss to Pacquiao would be more “acceptable” in the eyes of the public, as he is a legend.

Gervonta Davis seems to have reached a crossroads. On the one hand, he has millions in the bank and a legion of fans; on the other, he faces doubts about his legacy and his love for boxing. Tim Bradley said bluntly: “Tank is mentally out, he’s already thinking about retirement”.

“Gervonta Davis Breaks the Silence: ‘Tank’ Eyes Knockout Return Amid Rumors, Rivals, and Redemption”

Gervonta “Tank” Davis, boxing’s knockout king and one of the sport’s most electrifying figures, is once again the name on everyone’s lips — and for good reason. After months of silence following his legal troubles and time away from the ring, the unbeaten WBA lightweight champion is gearing up for a thunderous return that could shake the boxing world to its core.

With a pristine record of 29-0, including 27 brutal knockouts, Davis remains one of the most feared punchers in the sport. Now, as whispers swirl about potential mega-fights — including rumored clashes with names like Shakur Stevenson, Vasiliy Lomachenko, and even a crossover showdown with Manny Pacquiao — Davis is making it clear: he’s ready to remind the world why he’s called “Tank.”

A Comeback Clouded in Mystery

Since his dominant stoppage win over Ryan Garcia in April 2023, Davis has kept a relatively low profile. Legal issues and personal matters put his career briefly on hold, but sources close to his camp now confirm that Davis is back in full training, hungry, focused, and preparing for an explosive end to 2025.

Social media posts and cryptic messages have only fueled speculation, with fans and pundits alike trying to decipher who might be next in the firing line. Will it be a long-awaited showdown with Shakur Stevenson? Could a rematch with Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz be on the cards? Or is Davis aiming even higher?

The Road to Undisputed?

The lightweight division is arguably the most stacked in boxing, and Davis sits right at the heart of it. With Devin Haney having moved up in weight and the WBA title in Davis’ grasp, the path to undisputed status has never looked more promising. Promoters have hinted that talks with Top Rank and Matchroom are ongoing, with “multiple offers on the table.”

“Gervonta knows what’s at stake,” said a close associate. “He’s not just fighting for belts anymore — he’s fighting for legacy.”

Public Redemption and Private Resolve

Davis’ time away from the sport has been shadowed by controversy. Yet fans have remained loyal, and Davis appears determined to repay that support with performances that speak louder than headlines.

Gervonta davis

“I’ve made mistakes,” Davis reportedly told his team during a private meeting. “But when I come back — it’s all business. No distractions. No games.”

That quiet but firm statement mirrors the fighter’s in-ring style — calculated, powerful, and often devastating.

Rivals Lining Up

The list of fighters eager to test themselves against “Tank” is long and growing. Shakur Stevenson recently reignited tensions by questioning Davis’ resume and calling for a unification bout. Meanwhile, Vasiliy Lomachenko — the former pound-for-pound king — has expressed interest in one final run, with Davis firmly in his sights.

Even rising star Frank Martin and Cuban technician Andy Cruz have been floated as future opponents.

Yet perhaps the most tantalizing rumor involves a possible clash with boxing legend Manny Pacquiao — a fight that, while unlikely, has captured the public imagination. Could Tank Davis be the man to officially end the Pacquiao era, or would the Filipino icon have one last shock left in him?

Anthony joshua

What Comes Next?

An official announcement is expected in the coming weeks, with Barclays Center, Las Vegas, and even Saudi Arabia being considered for his return fight. Wherever it happens, one thing is certain: when Gervonta Davis steps back between the ropes, the boxing world will be watching.

With speed, power, and star power in abundance, “Tank” Davis isn’t just back — he’s on a mission. Whether it’s for redemption, glory, or undisputed greatness, the next chapter of his career could be the most explosive yet.

One thing’s for sure: When Tank rolls through, someone’s going to sleep.

Oscar De La Hoya Names Undisputed Favorite in Gervonta Davis vs. Shakur Stevenson Showdown

Gervonta Davis vs Shakur Stevenson is a fight on every boxing fan’s bucket list. Davis is the WBA lightweight champion while Stevenson currently holds the WBC title in the 135 lbs division. They are the two best consensus lightweight fighters on the planet.

Davis and Stevenson are yet to come to a head despite the latter actively showing interest in the clash. Stylistically, it’s a fantastic spectacle as Davis (30-0-1, 28 KO wins) possesses vicious knockout power.

Stevenson, meanwhile, is a defensive master and is 24-0-0 with 11 KO wins under his belt. In his most recent outing against William Zepeda, Stevenson showed a different side of himself, as the 28-year-old stayed in the pocket and exchanged with Zepeda, but was barely caught with anything significant.

Oscar De La Hoya predicts Gervonta Davis vs Shakur Stevenson

A fight between them is a dream and Oscar De La Hoya has now given his take on how he believes the clash could play out. Speaking to AK & Barak, ‘The Golden Boy’ said:

Gervonta davis

They are different styles, obviously. Shakur fights on his backfoot more, fights tall, throws one, two punches. I think ‘Tank’ Davis takes more risk. He goes forward a little more. He has more power. I’m gonna pick ‘Tank’ by brutal knockout.

So what’s next for both fighters? Gervonta Davis was recently arrested on domestic violence charges, putting his planned August 16 rematch against Lamont Roach in doubt. There’s no recent updates regarding the status of that fight.

As for Stevenson, he is coming off a sensational win against Zepeda. He wants the Davis fight, but is open to other options as well. Floyd Schofield is keen to get his shot at Stevenson, while Lamont Roach could also be a possible option.

Countdown Begins “Something’s Brewing” Davis and Lamont on

Countdown Begins “Something’s Brewing” Davis and Lamont on a Dangerous Path Toward a High-Stakes Rematch”

The boxing world may be on the verge of witnessing one of the sport’s most anticipated showdowns: a high-voltage rematch between knockout king Gervonta “Tank” Davis and the ever-resilient Lamont Roach Jr. As rumors intensify and negotiations reportedly pick up steam behind the scenes, fans are already bracing for what could be a defining clash between two warriors with everything to prove — and even more to lose.

The First Encounter: Fireworks and Friction

Their initial meeting was a spectacle of speed, power, and grit. While Gervonta Davis retained his edge as the bigger draw and more explosive fighter, Lamont Roach Jr. surprised many with his tactical discipline, ring IQ, and refusal to wilt under pressure. Though Davis came out on top via decision (or TKO, depending on how history remembers it), Roach’s stock only rose.

“People expected me to fold,” Roach said post-fight. “But I gave him hell. That fight wasn’t over. Not for me.”

Indeed, Roach’s performance was a reminder that even the most dominant champions can be forced into deep waters. And he believes a second chance could tip the balance.

Gervonta davis

This isn’t just about revenge. It’s about validation, legacy, and unfinished business. For Gervonta Davis, a rematch would be a chance to silence critics who believe Roach exposed vulnerabilities in his game — particularly when drawn into a technical battle. For Lamont Roach, it’s an opportunity to flip the script and seize a world title in emphatic fashion.

The fight also holds weight in a broader context. The lightweight and super featherweight divisions are brimming with talent — names like Shakur Stevenson, Devin Haney, and Vasiliy Lomachenko are constantly shifting the landscape. A definitive win for either Davis or Roach could reshape future matchups and title unifications in dramatic fashion.

Davis: The Pressure of Stardom

Since emerging as one of Floyd Mayweather’s brightest protégés, Gervonta Davis has carried the weight of superstardom with explosive knockouts and viral moments. Yet, recent distractions — including legal issues and periods of inactivity — have led some to question his focus.

“He’s got the power. No one’s doubting that,” said one analyst. “But is he still hungry? Is he still evolving?”

A rematch with Roach could be exactly what Davis needs: a gritty, high-stakes battle to refocus and reaffirm his dominance.

Gervonta davis

Lamont Roach has spent years clawing his way into the conversation. Once overlooked, he’s now seen as a legit threat with a dangerous mix of discipline, timing, and fearlessness. Since the Davis bout, Roach has notched important wins and sharpened his skills, staying patient while waiting for the moment to strike.

“Tank knows I belong in there with him,” Roach recently said. “This time, he won’t get out so lucky.”

The D.C.-born fighter isn’t just chasing a belt — he’s chasing respect. And this rematch could be his ticket to both.

Should the rematch become official, expect fireworks. Davis’ raw knockout power against Roach’s counter-punching and calculated pressure is a stylistic dream match. The storyline, too, is rich: redemption, doubt, and a clash of personalities.

Gervonta davis

This fight won’t just be a bout — it’ll be a war.

And with tensions simmering, trash talk bubbling, and both men eyeing a defining career moment, the stage is set for a rematch that could outshine the original.

I didn’t expect a 40-year-old to hit the hardest – but he proved age brings a different kind of power. I only  Discovered “After fighting Davis and Garcia

Rolly Romero has shared the ring with some massive punchers – but none of them hit as hard as Ismael Barroso.

Romero squared off against Barroso in his first fight back since falling to defeat at the hands of Gervonta Davis.

Rolly had been knocked out in the sixth round by ‘Tank’ for the WBA ‘regular’ lightweight title in May 2022.

But 12 months later, he was handed the opportunity to box for the WBA super lightweight crown

Romero was initially matched up with Alberto Puello, who held the black and gold strap at the time.

However, the Dominican was stripped of his belt after failing a pre-fight drugs test.

As a result, Barroso stepped in with two weeks’ notice to compete for the vacant title.

Romero went on to stop the 40-year-old Venezuelan in the ninth round, but only after tasting his power.

Barroso sent Romero tumbling to the canvas in the third stanza courtesy of a looping left.

During an appearance on the Danza Project podcast, Romero said: “Tank doesn’t punch that hard. He just lands a clean shot, and a lot of us are either too small or completely dehydrated.

“With Barroso, though, that motherf****** hits hard.

“After the fight, this whole side of my body was f****** sore, and I didn’t want to exchange with that motherf*****. He punched too hard.

Gervonta davis

Barroso has finished 23 of his 25 professional wins (25-5-2) inside the distance and is known as a one-punch knockout artist.

His power was on full display last January when he flattened Ohara Davies inside the opening stanza in an age-defying performance for the interim WBA super lightweight title.

Romero, meanwhile, has come on leaps and bounds since his comeback win over Barroso.

This Is Suicide for Him”Gervonta Davis Dares to Call Out a Legend: ‘I’ll Retire Manny Pacquiao for Good'”

In a move that’s sent shockwaves through the boxing world, Gervonta “Tank” Davis has once again ignited headlines — this time by setting his sights on none other than Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao. With bold words and a fire that only Davis can bring, the undefeated knockout artist didn’t just float the idea of a dream fight — he went nuclear.

“If he really wants it, I’ll end his career the way it should’ve ended years ago,” Davis declared during a recent interview.
“Respect to what he’s done, but legends need to know when to leave before someone like me retires them permanently.”

A Match Made for Mayhem

Boxing fans didn’t see this coming. Pacquiao, a former eight-division world champion, is widely considered one of the greatest fighters of all time. Though retired since his 2021 defeat to Yordenis Ugas, “Pac-Man” has repeatedly teased a comeback — and Davis just threw gasoline on that fire.

READ MORE : Shocking Report: Gervonta Davis Allegedly Struck Ex Amid

The contrast is stark: Pacquiao, 46 years old and a global hero with a legacy cemented in stone. Davis, 29, unbeaten in 30 professional fights with 28 knockouts, the face of modern explosiveness in the lightweight and super lightweight divisions.

Gervonta davis

While Pacquiao built his reputation on relentless aggression, blinding speed, and unmatched heart, Davis embodies the new generation: a vicious puncher with chilling timing and zero tolerance for disrespect. If this bout materializes, it won’t be a passing-of-the-torch moment — it’ll be a collision between eras, egos, and reputations.

Pacquiao’s Silence — Or Strategic Delay?

Interestingly, Pacquiao has yet to directly respond to Davis’ taunts — but insiders believe something is brewing. Sources close to Team Pacquiao claim that negotiations for an exhibition bout turned serious after Davis’ explosive win over Frank Martin. The Filipino star has been training privately, reportedly telling close allies, “I still have something left. I’m not done.”

If true, this fight would blur the lines between a farewell bout and a blood feud.

Critics Lash Out: ‘This Is Suicide for Manny’

RELATED : “Anthony Joshua Breaks Silence After Oleksandr Usyk Destroys

Not everyone is thrilled.

Veteran trainers and analysts have expressed deep concern over the potential matchup.

“If Pacquiao steps in the ring with Tank, it’s not going to be a feel-good fight — it’s going to be brutal,” said former champion Timothy Bradley.
“This isn’t the 2009 version of Manny. He’s stepping in with a monster.”

Social media exploded with criticism and praise. While Davis’ fans see this as another notch on his growing legacy, others argue the callout is shameless, targeting a past-prime legend for clout.

Yet, isn’t that exactly what makes this fight so tantalizing?

Tank’s Legacy on the Line?

There’s also danger here for Davis. If he struggles — or worse, gets outboxed by a 46-year-old veteran — his credibility could take a massive hit. Even a close win could draw ridicule.

But Tank doesn’t seem concerned.

“This ain’t the movies,” Davis snapped. “I’ll send him back to politics.”

What’s Next?

Pacquiao is expected to make an announcement in the coming weeks. And while boxing politics could still derail the fight, the attention and dollar signs are impossible to ignore.

Whether you view this as a cash grab, a disgrace, or a dream spectacle, one thing’s clear: if Tank vs Pacquiao happens, it won’t be just a fight — it’ll be a generational war.

And one man may never recover from it.

Lamont Roach Breaks His Silence With Shocking Update on Rematch Plans Following Gervonta Davis’ Arrest

Gervonta Davis was arrested on July 11 in Miami Beach due to allegations of assault on his ex-girlfriend. The reported incident took place on Father’s Day, June 15.

‘Tank’ Davis has been accused of hitting his former girlfriend on the back of the head, as well as slapping her, leaving the victim with a cut on the inner lip. The WBA lightweight champion was also filmed by the victim’s mother throwing a small object at her.

This has put serious question marks over Davis’ boxing future, including his rematch against Lamont Roach. Davis and Roach fought out a controversial majority draw in March, where ‘Tank’ took a deliberate knee but it wasn’t counted as a knockdown.

The pair has a scheduled rematch for August 16. However, there is speculation whether the fight would go ahead at all following Davis’ run-in with the law. Lamont Roach Jr has now confirmed the status of the fight, claiming Davis is already out of jail and the clash will go ahead as planned.

Gervonta davis

“Mayweather Questions Tank’s Readiness for Pacquiao: ‘After That Fight, I’m Not So Sure Anymore’”

Manny Pacquiao refuses to stay retired and rumors about his return to the ring are growing stronger. At 46 years of age, the former eight-division world champion seems determined to come back in force, and not just for one last fight, as was originally supposed

This was confirmed by the president of the World Boxing Council (WBC), Mauricio Sulaiman, who revealed that ‘Pacman’ will face Mario Barrios for the welterweight title on July 19

The announcement surprised both fans and analysts, who are now wondering what will happen if Pacquiao wins the belt, as it is not known how much longer he could remain active or who his future rivals would be.

However, during a press conference in Las Vegas, Pacquiao said he will make decisions about his future after the fight with Barrios, leaving the door open to the option of facing big names such as Ryan Garcia, Devin Haney and even Gervonta Davis.

When is Manny Pacquiao vs Gervonta Davis fight?

This last possibility has especially caught the attention of fans, who are already speculating about a fight between the Filipino veteran and the undefeated Davis, known as “Tank”.

With the growing expectation for Pacquiao’s return, Jeff Mayweather, former boxer and uncle of Floyd Mayweather, spoke about a possible duel between Pacquiao and Davis, raising the question of the agreed weight.

“What weight are they going to fight at? I think that’s going to influence a lot. Isn’t Pacquiao going to fight Barrios at 147 pounds or something like that?”, Jeff asked, stressing that Gervonta Davis has never fought above super lightweight.

Gervonta Davis, currently at the peak of his career, would be the clear betting favorite due to his youth and fitness. However, Pacquiao, despite the inactivity and age difference, as he is 16 years older than Davis, has a long experience on the big stage.

Who is the favorite in Pacquiao vs Davis?

Despite the favoritism towards Davis, Jeff Mayweather believes that the outlook is not as clear as it seems, especially after the American’s most recent performance

In March, Gervonta Davis had a tough fight against Lamont Roach Jr., which ended in a majority draw, leaving doubts about his performance.

“I think most would have thought that Pacquiao would have no chance, if it wasn’t for that bad performance by Tank,” said Mayweather. “After that fight, believe me, there will be a lot of people who will say that Manny Pacquiao has a chance,” he concluded.

For now, nothing is confirmed, but the possible return of Pacquiao and his willingness to face the best of today is one of the most relevant topics in the boxing world.
