Father Of Former World Champ Slams Gervonta & Shakur, ‘They’re The Houdinis Of Boxing’
In a recent video, former IBF and WBO lightweight champion George Kambosos Jr. and his dad/manager Jim Kambosos have taken a shot at both Gervonta “Tank” Davis and Shakur Stevenson, labeling them as the “Houdinis of Boxing” due to their perceived lack of quality wins.
While it’s true that neither fighter has a plethora of high-profile victories under their belts, the criticism might be misguided given the different paths each fighter has taken. It is essential to consider the fighters’ career trajectories before making unfounded accusations.
Gervonta Davis has faced five current or former world champions in his career: Lamont Roach Jr., Jose Pedraza, Leo Santa Cruz, Yuriorkis Gamboa, and Mario Barrios. On the other hand, Shakur Stevenson has fought three current or former world champions: Robson Conceição, Oscar Valdez, and Jamel Herring.
It is difficult to deny that Davis’s schedule has been significantly stronger than Stevenson’s, which raises questions about the nature of their careers. Nevertheless, Davis does possess charisma, a crowd-pleasing style, and a willingness to take on high-risk fights, making him a global star who can draw massive crowds.
