After successfully defending his WBA title in May this year against Romero, Gervonta Davis is looking to face Hector Luis Garcia on January 7th, 2023. On the other hand, Terence Crawford will soon meet David Avanesyan with his WBO World Welter title on the line. Theoretically speaking, if Davis were to face Crawford at 147 lbs, who would win the fight?

In a recent interview, Davis replied by saying that he would knock out Terence Crawford within round no. 6. While Davis is undefeated with 27 wins, Crawford is unbeaten with 38 wins in professional boxing.

While 76.32% of Crawford’s victories arrive by a knockout in the ring, an astounding percentile of 92.59 Davis’ wins came by knockout in the boxing ring. Crawford has not tasted defeat since his debut in 2008, and Davis, since 2013. Although Davis claimed to knock out Crawford within round 6, he later suggested that he was only kidding.
Following this strong statement by Davis, several fans took to Twitter and reacted to it. Here are some reactions that stand out.
If only Gamboa could land why can’t Gervonta Davis knock out Terrence Crawford in their fight?
In his 2014 fight against Yuriorkis Gamboa with the WBO World Light title on the line, ‘Bud’ absorbed certain clean shots by Yuriorkis. Since Gamboa could find a way to land on Crawford in the ring, fans are ready to believe in Davis.
In only a line, a user said, “If gamboa could do it… 🤷🏾♂️”
If gamboa could do it… 🤷🏾♂️

Likewise, another uploaded a brief clip of Gamboa landing on Crawford in the ring. They asked to imagine Tank in Gamboa’s place and fighting with all his might.

Similarly, one user demanded Bud vs. Davis next in boxing.

However, one reminded how ‘Tank’ went the distance with Gamboa himself when they fought in 2019.
The tank that went 11-1/2 rounds with an old triple washed Gamboa who injured his ankle in the 2nd round? 😂 tank didn’t even wanna fight a washed long layoff Thurman at 147.

Meanwhile, another believed in Davis:
I honestly think he would KO him I’m not sure round 6

However, one fan had to disagree. he said, “Bud would beat the fuck outta tank at 147 💯”
Bud would beat the fuck outta tank at 147 💯🥊

Finally, some pointed out what Tank said towards the end.
