Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis Open to Ryan Garcia Rematch At 140, Shows Support Amid PED Controversy

Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis says he will fight Ryan Garcia again at 140. Davis welcomes a second fight with Ryan (25-1, 20 KOs) and is not dismissing him for all the abuse he received from his reported PED test. his fight with Devin Haney.

Davis Gives Second Chances

It’s a classy act by Tank Davis, reaching out to Ryan, who doesn’t care about the flak he’ll receive from others who want to treat him like a bully and ostracize him.

Ryan is arguably the most popular fighter in North America, perhaps even surpassing Canelo Alvarez in popularity.

“145? He’s not even 145 yet. Why can’t he be 140?” said Gervonta Davis on Cigar Talk about the Ryan Garcia rematch. “I’m going to fight him at 140.”

Weight could be a strong point in a rematch between Tank and Ryan. However, if Tank is willing to accept a little more money to accommodate Ryan who comes in at 143-145, this fight is still possible.

Here’s how it looks: The money Tanki will earn in a rematch with Ryan Garcia will be more than the likes of Frank Martin or anyone else when he’s 135.

Not even Vasily Lomachenko and Shakur Stevenson will bring Tank the kind of money he would make in a rematch. So it makes no sense for Tank to draw the same line, saying ‘Between 140 or not fight.’

The truth is that Ryan is too big at this stage of his career to melt down to 140. He is full, and he loves to eat, as you can see by watching his videos. He keeps shoving food in his mouth during the videos, and admits that he likes to drink occasionally.

PED Allegations and Possible Suspensions

It is still unknown if Ryan will be suspended because of his failed test. He says he will fight it, and try to clear his name. If he is suspended, he may be out for a while. That will push his rematch with Tank to next year if there is one.

If Ryan gets suspended for his PED tests, the rematch with Tank will have to wait. Once again, Ryan vowed to fight it out to clear his name, but it could be difficult. If he is prevented from fighting this, it may delay a rematch against Tank or someone else.
