Is Keyshawn Davis Stalking Gervonta Davis?

A loud Keyshawn Davis recently released a lengthy call-out video targeting Gervonta Davis, expressing his desire to fight him. Keyshawn (11-0, 7 KOs) urged Tank Davis (30-0, 28 KOs) to “send me the contract,” yet paradoxically also stated, “I don’t need you.”

The conflicting messages coupled with Keyshawn’s emotional delivery, bordering on tears, suggest a strong desire for the fight, almost to the point of obsession. Mentioning it incessantly in interviews gives off a stalker-like vibe.

Following his win over Gustavo Lemos last Friday, Keyshawn boasted about the victory, claiming it would be remembered for a decade. It’s unclear whether he was serious or seeking attention. His approach of defeating subpar opponents and then targeting Tank seems counterproductive.

Instead of pursuing Tank after beating Lemos, Keyshawn should challenge top fighters like Andy Cruz, Raymond Muratalla, Edwin De Los Santos, and Abdullah Mason to build a credible path towards a potential clash with Tank.

Keyshawn’s demand for Tank to send a contract seems unlikely, as he needs to focus on facing quality opponents to establish his credibility. While he criticizes Tank’s resume, he overlooks the entertaining performances that have made Tank popular.

Keyshawn’s aspiration to become a superstar hinges on his choice of opponents and his willingness to face formidable competition. Challenging the likes of Andy Cruz, whom he has struggled against in the amateur ranks, could earn him respect from fans.

Keyshawn’s career trajectory might not lead to superstardom if he continues facing weak opposition like Berlanga did. His path may mirror that of a manufactured star, lacking substance and authenticity.

Keyshawn’s bold claims about his future success need to be backed up by challenging opponents and impressive performances. Whether the fight with Tank materializes or not, Keyshawn’s career trajectory will determine his legacy in boxing.
