Comments Thread For: Trainer Wants 'Tank' Talked About Like Tyson, Leonard & Hagler

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

LOS ANGELES Calvin Ford wasn't trying to be hyperbolic. The Baltimore-based trainer has been around Gervonta Davis since the emerging champion was 7 years old. Ford, perhaps more than anyone, understands what's inside Davis and fully expects a fighter he has treated like a son to blossom into one of the biggest boxing stars of this era.

lol @ this bum. Tyson had defended his world champion belts several times only 4 years into his pro career. This overhyped bum has been boxing 5 years and I still can't understand what sort of belt he is fighting for today because there are like 4 WBA belts and who his opponent is.

Tank is now 24 years old! It's time to start his run! He needs nothing but Top 5 opponents from this date forth. I don't care what weight class he is in, whether 130, 135, or 140! Anything less is a failure on Floyd Mayweather Jr.!

We want to compare him to Lomachenko so badly, and the Pedraza fight is an indication of what this kid can be! However, please recognize that neither Tank, nor Loma, is Mike Tyson! Loma's first pro bout didn't happen until he was 25! When Mike beat Tony Tucker in 1987, and became the WBA, WBC, and IBF Heavyweight Champion of the world, he was 21 years and 32 days old! There are levels in this game! SALUTE to Iron Mike!

We’re trying to get the world to start talking like they talk about the Mikes, the ‘Sugar’ Ray Leonards, the Marvin Haglers, all them

Why do people say that sh** " The Mike's, the Leonard's and the Hagler's" that's dumb it's only one of each. I wish people stop saying that sh**!!!

You know we're not getting that fight! SHO vs. ESPN! We should be able to get Machado vs. Berchelt, since both are on ESPN! How did you feel about Machado calling out Francisco Vargas and not Miguel Berchelt, after his most recent victory? I thought that was a little weird! Why you calling out the loser? Anyway, what's your take on that?

Better get him better fighters to beat then

In my Stephen A. Smith voice, "It's so disrespectful!"
