Terence Crawford has picked two boxers he thinks can beat Gervonta 'Tank' Davis. The two-weight undisputed champion believes Shakur Stevenson and Keyshawn Davis have what it takes to defeat the explosive lightweight.
Davis has been on a tear lately. He made a statement by beating Ryan Garcia last April and followed it up with a knockout win over Frank Martin in June. The WBA lightweight champion, who's also held titles at super featherweight and super lightweight, is known for his explosive style. His best knockout to date came against Leo Santa Cruz.
Crawford, speaking to FightHype, shared his thoughts on potential challengers for Davis:
"One of them gunna get him. It's gunna be a great night of boxing when they do. It gone be him though [pointing to Stevenson]. Big brother first."
Stevenson, a close friend of Crawford's, recently won a unanimous decision against Artem Harutyunyan in July. He might face William Zepeda next, who's the mandatory challenger for the WBC belt.
Keyshawn Davis, an Olympic silver medalist, has been making waves in the pro ranks. He's undefeated in 12 fights and just scored an impressive win. Davis stopped Gustavo Lemos in the second round of their fight in early November, sending his opponent to the canvas three times.
Both Stevenson and Davis are rising stars in the lightweight division. Their potential matchups with 'Tank' Davis would surely create fireworks in the ring. As Crawford suggests, fans might be in for some great nights of boxing when these fights eventually happen.
