Mayweather chose Shakur Stevenson as the more complete boxer. He said Stevenson is the most talented fighter right now, praising his technical skills and ability to dominate without taking unnecessary punishment.
This choice might surprise some fans. Mayweather has worked closely with Davis in the past. Both Davis and Stevenson are undefeated world champions in multiple divisions, but their styles differ greatly.
Davis has built a reputation as a brutal puncher. He's known for his knockouts and has earned the nickname 'Tank'. Stevenson, on the other hand, relies on his impeccable defense, strategic patience, and ability to read fights.
The boxing world has been waiting for new figures to step up and dominate the sport. Millions of fans want to see Davis and Stevenson face off in the ring.
Davis didn't stay quiet after Mayweather's comments. He fired back on social media:
"People talk a lot... but nobody wants to get in the ring with me. You decide who is the best when the fight happens."
This response sounds like an open challenge to Stevenson. It's clear Davis wants to prove himself in the ring.
Mayweather's opinion carries weight in the boxing world. But ultimately, as Davis pointed out, the true test will come when these two talented fighters meet in the ring. Until then, fans and experts will continue to debate who really is the more complete boxer.
