The second of two lightweight title claimants on our list, Davis is the power-punching complement to Stevenson’s sublime skill and artistry.
Presuming the Baltimore-based “Tank” passes an interim test in the form of chatty WBA title challenger Lamont Roach this weekend in Brooklyn, you can expect the drumbeat for a fight with his fellow 135-pound elitist to grow in volume.
“Even if Tank did not possess his shocking punching power,” said Jim Lampley, who’ll be part of the Davis-Roach live stream fight coverage on PPV.com, “he would be an elite lightweight on the basis of his crafty boxing, southpaw style advantage, clever footwork and visible killer instinct. But it is pure power that really sets him apart.”
