Gervonta Davis came face-to-face with Isaac Cruz back in December 2021. After twelve rounds of nail-biting action, ‘Tank’ Davis took home the win via unanimous decision. Ever since then, ‘Pitbull’ Cruz and his team have been angling for a rematch against Davis. Besides avenging his defeat, Cruz stands to gain a lucrative amount of the purse split. So, when he saw Floyd Mayweather recently, Cruz decided to take his shot and demand a rematch. When did it happen?
During the recent showdown between Canelo Alvarez and Jermell Charlo, Cruz caught up with Floyd and made his wish known. It’s worth mentioning that Mayweather’s promotion company (Money Team) used to promote Davis. But the two went their separate ways in May 2022. Despite that fact, Cruz decided to ask Floyd, “You wanna do that fight again?” While Floyd did not answer Cruz, speculations have been floating on the internet for quite a while. Nevertheless, Cruz’s blunt approach to seeking a rematch did not sit well with the boxing world.

Before Cruz approached Floyd, fans were in favor of the rematch. But after this incident, fans have shown a change in attitude. And the comment section of the video clearly shows the shift.
One user wrote, “His last performance proves that he doesn’t deserve a rematch.” It’s worth noting that Cruz won his last fight against Giovanni Cabrera. However, it wasn’t an easy win – Cruz edged the win via split decision.
Someone else wrote, “No, Cruz has done nothing to deserve a rematch.” The user seemingly thinks Cruz hasn’t done anything significant to deserve a rematch. However, his bout with Davis did get him admiration from experts because of his performance. Some even claimed that Cruz made Davis really work for the win.
Another user wrote, “That man’s living off his fight with Davis…It’s embarrassing at this point it’s all he talks about…Go another direction, my man, and get off his n**s.” Davis is the most noteworthy opponent Cruz has faced up until his career at this point. The user seems to think Cruz is holding on to this fight, and his actions are borderline embarrassing. The user even asks Cruz to pursue something else.

Unlike other users, this user decided to comment on something else entirely. The user wrote, “Pitbull’s head is the same size as Floyd’s torso.” Interestingly, Floyd is 0.4 inches taller than Cruz, Mayweather is 5.8” inches tall, and Cruz is 5.4” inches.
According to the next user, he would rather watch Gervonta Davis vs. Teofimo Lopez. The user claimed that Cruz had the opportunity to fight Shakur Stevenson, but he ducked it. The user wrote, “I’d rather see Tank vs. Teofimo Lopez next. Cruz can get Shakur, but he ducked him.”
