Biggest Come Back: Last Men Defeated by Gervonta Davis and Manny Pacquiao Could Share Huge Card As Both Hope To Reach The Top Once More

Manny Pacquiao has not scored a win in six years, and Gervonta Davis hasn’t scored a win in over a year.

It has been over 2,200 days since Manny Pacquiao scored his last victory. He came extremely close as he fought to a draw against Mario Barrios at the age of 46, a fight that, in the eyes of many, Pacquiao ought to have won.

Gervonta Davis, meanwhile, is coming off his most criticized performance as he fought to a draw against Lamont Roach. Roach would’ve won the fight if Davis taking a knee had been counted as a knockdown, as it should’ve been.

Davis hasn’t secured a win in over 400 days.

Though both men are coming off draws and hoping to rebuild, it is their most recent victims who are rumored to be rebuilding in a big way on the same card.

Keith Thurman and Frank Martin to face tough opposition on same card

In Pacquiao’s latest fight, he drew with Barrios, in the fight before he lost to Yordenis Ugas. His last win occurred back in 2019, when Pacquiao defeated Keith Thurman by split decision, with a knockdown in the first round making all the difference.

Thurman, now 31-1, took three years off of boxing after the loss, before returning to defeat Barrios by unanimous decision in 2022.

After the win, Thurman went dark for another three years, before reappearing earlier this year against Australian Brock Jarvis, whom he blitzed in three rounds.

Thurman is rumored to be in talks to face 23-0 Vergil Ortiz Jr. next. Ortiz is on a great run of form having spent two years between 2022 and 2024 out of the ring, and has defeated Serhii Bohachuk and Israil Madrimov in his last two fights.

The fight is an extremely tough one for Thurman, who Pacquiao named a dog after, to take, though there is an equally tough match-up on the undercard.

Gervonta Davis’s last victim was Frank Martin, who Davis stopped in eight rounds, marking Tank’s fourth KO in a row after outpointing Isaac Cruz in 2021.

Martin is in talks to face Arnold Barboza Jr., who took his first loss recently to Teofimo Lopez, and defeated Jack Catterall one fight earlier.

Both Thurman and Martin will take on these tough challenges on the same card, if reports are accurate.

Interestingly, Pacquiao himself may also face Rolly Romero, Davis’ former foe, though this would not be on the same card as Thurman or Martin’s fights.

Keith Thurman vs Vergil Ortiz & Frank Martin vs Arnold Barboza – The stats

With these fights rumored to land on a PBC vs Golden Boy card in October, it is worth assessing how much chance each fighter has against the other.

On one hand, Thurman and Martin will both be disadvantaged by their periods of inactivity, with Martin having not fought since his loss to Davis and Thurman having stepped into the ring just twice in the last six years.

Ortiz is also on an impressive run at the moment, and despite Barboza’s recent loss, he is also in formidable form having fought multiple times against high level opposition recently.

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.

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.

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.

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.

In victory, he scooped the WBA ‘regular’ welterweight title and is now the frontrunner to box Manny Pacquiao as the Filipino icon continues down the comeback trail.

“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 GarciaDevin 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 returnJeff 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.

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.

Fight Fans Stunned as Pacquiao-Gervonta Davis Clash Looms in Explosive Comeback Twist

In a twist that has sent shockwaves through the boxing world, whispers of an electrifying super-fight between living legend Manny Pacquiao and unbeaten star Gervonta “Tank” Davis have suddenly evolved into serious speculation—leaving fans and insiders alike on the edge of their seats.

What began as quiet chatter in the back corners of fight forums and media circles has now erupted into a full-blown frenzy, with multiple sources hinting that the eight-division world champion, Manny Pacquiao, may be considering one last seismic return to the ring. And his chosen target? None other than the explosive and undefeated knockout artist, Gervonta Davis.

A Clash of Eras

Gervonta davis

This potential showdown represents more than just a boxing match—it’s a symbolic clash between two generations. On one end of the ring, you have Manny Pacquiao, a warrior whose legendary career spans over two decades, known for his relentless speed, thunderous combinations, and humble demeanor that made him a global icon. Pacquiao, who officially retired in 2021 after losing a decision to Yordenis Ugas, has stayed relatively close to the sport—teasing comebacks, participating in exhibitions, and never completely shutting the door on one last war.

On the other side stands Gervonta Davis, the face of the new wave of boxing: fast, flashy, ferocious, and undefeated. With a 30-0 record, including 28 knockouts, Davis has dismantled nearly every name in his path and has long been hailed as one of the most dangerous punchers in the sport. Mentored by Floyd Mayweather Jr., Davis embodies a modern style of power and precision that has captivated fans worldwide.

The Seeds of a Super-Fight

The first whispers of this fantasy bout began during a meeting earlier this year involving influential boxing figure Turki Alalshikh, known for orchestrating massive fight cards in Saudi Arabia. With the Middle East now a global hub for mega-fights, the financial and promotional foundation for a Pacquiao-Davis showdown could realistically take shape sooner than expected.

According to close sources, preliminary discussions have taken place—not just hypothetically, but with real interest from both camps. While nothing has been officially confirmed, those familiar with Pacquiao’s inner circle claim the Filipino icon is “very serious” about one final, legacy-defining fight before permanently hanging up his gloves.

This could be the biggest comeback story in decades,” said one industry insider. “Manny doesn’t just want another payday—he wants to prove he can still compete with the best of today.”

Meanwhile, Gervonta Davis has remained cryptic but notably open to the idea. When asked about the possibility of facing Pacquiao during a recent media appearance, Tank simply smirked and said, “I’ll fight anybody. Legends included.

Risk, Reward, and Relentless Anticipation

There’s no denying the stakes would be monumental for both men. For Pacquiao, this would be a high-risk, high-reward finale—an opportunity to cement his legacy with a modern-day scalp, or risk a brutal defeat that could taint the twilight of his career.

Gervonta davis

For Davis, it’s a different type of challenge. While he would enter the ring as a heavy favorite due to youth and power, fighting Pacquiao comes with its own pressure—namely, the burden of facing a legend who has defied odds more times than most can count. A victory would elevate Davis beyond current rivals and into the upper echelon of boxing immortality. A loss, however, could shatter the aura of invincibility he’s carefully built.

‘Don’t Let Me Expose You” Gervonta Davis Accused of Hiding Fear as Lamont Roach Issues Chilling Warning: 

The Gervonta Davis vs Lamont Roach rematch looks set for August 16. Their first fight back in March was one of the most controversial events in recent boxing history. The clash ended in a majority draw and the focal point was Davis taking a knee in the ninth round of the contest.

The deliberate action wasn’t counted as a knockdown and Davis later claimed that hair grease dripped into his eyes, forcing him to take a knee. ‘Tank’ retained the WBA lightweight title due to the draw, however, there’s no denying that Roach pushed him to the limits.

Ahead of the rematch, Roach has one clear message for ‘Tank’, “Meet me in the middle of the ring, and we’ll see who leaves out of there.”

Roach was also asked whether he thinks ‘Tank’ Davis is scared of him. He claimed Davis is not necessarily scared on a personal level, but he doesn’t want to get embarrassed. Roach told TMZ Sports:

I won’t necessarily say he’s scared of me as a man, but he’s scared to get embarrassed, that’s his problem.

Gervonta Davis vs Lamont Roach 2 is one of the biggest fights to look out for. Roach recently suggested that ‘Tank’ hasn’t signed his side of the contract yet. However, judging by his recent interview, that doesn’t look like the case as he answered the question with a smile.

Gervonta davis

Not many fighters willingly stay in the pocket and trade with Gervonta Davis, with ‘Tank’ scoring 28 of his 30 wins by knockout. Lamont Roach, however, took everything Davis had to offer in the first fight. He landed some beautiful shots of his own and often had Davis in vulnerable positions.

There was a consensus that Davis wasn’t entirely focused on the fight, resulting in a lackluster performance. And some expect him to come out much sharper in the rematch. That said, Roach is high on confidence and will be doing his own homework.

Shocking Report: Gervonta Davis Allegedly Struck Ex Amid Tense Clash Over Son’s Sexuality Concerns

MIAMI — More legal trouble for Baltimore native and world boxing champion Gervonta Davis.

Davis was arrested Friday morning in Miami Beach, Florida, on a domestic violence warrant.

ESPN reports Davis allegedly slapped and punched the mother of his children in the head while exchanging custody last month.

According to a police report obtained by ESPN, the Father’s Day assault occurred after Davis expressed “insecurities about the sexuality of their son.”

The boxer’s ex-girlfriend told officers she sought treatment at the hospital afterwards.

Police noted “approximately 10” prior physical altercations between the former couple that went undocumented.

Davis does have a documented criminal record.

He was arrested for alleged domestic abuse in 2020, and again in December 2022.

Charges were ultimately dropped in both cases.

Davis also pleaded guilty to a serious hit and run crash that took place in Baltimore.

He was sentenced to 90 days of house arrest followed by three-years of probation for that incident.

Davis is next due in a Florida courtroom on July 29. He’s currently free on $10,000 bond.

He’s an idiot: Conor Benn Rips Into Gervonta Davis Over Domestic Violence Charge: “What the hell are you doing, mate? Sort your damn life out!”

Gervonta Davis is once again all over the headlines, this time for the wrong reasons. Davis was arrested on July 11 in Coral Gables for allegedly assaulting his ex-girlfriend. The incident reportedly took place on Father’s Day.

Davis went to collect his children from his former partner’s house which is where the altercation began. ESPN reports that the argument began due to “personal matters and Gervonta having insecurities about the sexuality of their son.”

As his former partner approached to take his children out of Tank’s car, the WBA lightweight champion hit her on the back of the head and also slapped her, leaving the victim with a cut inside her lip. The victim’s mother also recorded part of the incident where he was spotted throwing an object at her.

Davis has since been released from custody on bail.

This is the third time Davis has been taken into custody on charges of domestic violence, the previous two being in 2020 and 2022. A part of the boxing world is livid with the repeated charges, and so is British star Conor Benn. He thinks ‘Tank’ Davis should be banned from the sport for his actions. Speaking to iFL TV, he said:

He’s an idiot. Listen, I don’t care who you are, how much world titles you’ve got, you can shove your world titles up your a**. You lay a hand on a woman, you lay a finger on a woman, you deserve to be incarcerated. You deserve to never be able to fight again and be banged up for life.

Benn added, “I’ve got four sisters, I have a daughter myself. Anyone puts their hands on them, they are dead’. Benn added he’d never share the ring with ‘Tank’ Davis, calling the latter a ‘scumbag’.

Gervonta davis

“He’s putting his hands on a woman, I think this is his 20th arrest. So, less to the free and more the lock him up for good. I don’t condone it at all. I don’t know how it comes to your head. When you are a trained fighter, let alone a normal man. What are you doing mate? To even think about it? Let alone get charged for it.”

Currently Something Big Could Be Brewing, Boxing Legend Plotting a Potential Gervonta Davis Clash After Lamont Roach Rematch 

Gervonta Davis is currently in the headlines for the wrong reasons as he was arrested on July 11 on charges of domestic violence. Davis reportedly assaulted his ex-girlfriend and the mother of his two children, leaving the victim with a cut inside her lip.

His rematch with Lamont Roach on August 16 looks uncertain as PBC is exploring a new date. Davis reportedly hasn’t trained since the incident occurred on June 15th.

His first fight against Lamont Roach was the talk of the boxing world after it ended in a controversial majority draw. ‘Tank’ took a deliberate knee during the fight which wasn’t counted as a knockdown. There’s a lot of hype surrounding the rematch as fans want to see how he handles Roach a second time around.

While the second fight is currently uncertain, Davis has received a call-out for a blockbuster showdown after that. This year’s Hall of Fame inductee, Manny Pacquiao, is keen to take on the WBA lightweight champion after his fight against Mario Barrios this weekend.

Pacquiao is making a stunning return at the age of 46 to take on Barrios. With a win, he wants to set up a fight against Davis, should ‘Tank’ beat Roach in the rematch. The Filipino legend told The Ring:

Gervonta davis

I like the Davis fight, but let’s finish Barrios first. It’s nothing personal. I am just doing my job. One at a time. We’ll talk about it after the fight.

As for what’s next if Pacquiao beats Barrios, if you look at who’s the biggest draw in American boxing, and who puts the most butts in the most seats, it’s Gervonta Davis.

Gibbons believes Pacquiao has the physical advantage against Davis, saying “Gervonta pushes the buttons and is a household name in many ways. Pacquiao and Davis match up very well. For the first time in a long time, Manny would actually be a taller and bigger fighter than his opponent. That’s the dream. We were close at one time to fighting Davis. We were talking but we couldn’t come to an agreement on a couple things and the timing didn’t work out.”

Gervonta davis

However, Gibbons added that Gervonta Davis’ rematch against Lamont Roach could turn out to be decisive, saying, “If Pacquiao beats Barrios and Davis beats Roach, I think that’s the fight. The people would be really intrigued. You couldn’t sell it as much before Pacquiao fought Barrios because everyone was saying Gervonta is a beast, but Gervonta got exposed a little bit and had a bad night against Roach, and the shine is off a little bit. If Manny shows brilliance against Barrios, they are going to buy into a Tank fight in a heartbeat.”
