In a conversation with ESPN, Romero mentioned how Mayweather has done a commendable job molding Davis into the fighter that he is. He said, “Without Floyd, Gervonta Davis is nothing. He may still have his skill set and all this, you know. But as far as marketing, he has zero personality.”

Moreover, Romero also mentioned that Davis is a “piece of sh*t” to the people in the sport of boxing.
