Crawford's opinion carries weight. He's won world titles in four weight divisions and is undisputed at both super lightweight and welterweight. At 37, he's considered one of the best fighters on the planet.
'Tank' Davis has certainly made his mark too. He's picked up world titles in three weight classes and currently holds the WBA lightweight belt. He'll defend that title on March 1 against Lamont Roach.
In a recent interview with FightHype, Crawford shared his thoughts on Davis' future challenges:
"Whoever, I told Tank, Tank know what's up. He know what he up against when he fight Shakur or Keyshawn. You know what I mean, he wanna fight these guys that everybody in the world know they ain't gonna give him no fight."
Crawford suggests that Davis might be avoiding tougher opponents. He went on to explain why he thinks Keyshawn Davis and Shakur Stevenson will give 'Tank' trouble:
"They not mentally there you know what I mean, they might have little skills here and there but mentally wise they not gonna be able to keep it up that whole fight. Them two guys right there is gonna be the ones that give him his first L."
Crawford believes the mental strength of Keyshawn Davis and Shakur Stevenson sets them apart. Both fighters hold world titles at lightweight - Davis the WBO and Stevenson the WBC - making potential unification bouts with 'Tank' even more interesting.
Davis will face Lamont Roach on March 1, but fans will be eager to see if he'll take on either of Crawford's picks later in the year. Both Keyshawn Davis and Stevenson have shown interest in a showdown with 'Tank', setting up what could be an exciting lightweight division in 2024.
