In this Flashback from 2018, Gervonta "Tank" Davis spoke about boxing's greats needing to retire once they're past their prime. He also explained why smaller weight classes produce more stars than today's heavyweight division, pointing out the lack of fighters with Mike Tyson's in-ring mentality. While pointing out Tyson's ferocious approach, Tank explained that that's the reason why he rose to stardom.
Ahead of this weekend's anticipated matchup between Tank and Ryan Garcia, Mike Tyson acknowledged the comparisons between him and Tank and said, "I understand them now when they say he fights like Mike Tyson 'cause he flies through the air which is normally bad positioning, you have no power in the air. But, for him and myself, our stoutness to the ground, as I said before, catapults us like being shot like a bow and arrow and the force is unstoppable."
