After scoring a knockout win against former two-division world champion, Jose Pedraza, Keyshawn Davis is already a contender for being the best at 135. He is only 24 years old, with 10 wins under his belt, knocking experienced fighters with ease. It only makes sense for him to be around the company of other very talented fighters. And there is a big support backing him.

While his first attempt against Pedraza was canceled due to a failed drug test last year, he came back and proved to the world that he was back with a vengeance and ready to beat his opponents. Keyshawn recently took to Instagram to share a photo of him with another extremely talented boxer, Terence Crawford, and he was all praises for the pound-for-pound king.
