    One of the biggest fights that can be made in boxing is a huge showdown between Gervonta Davis vs Shakur Stevenson. 

    The lightweight pair are two of boxing's best fighters and a lightweight meeting between them is guaranteed to do major business.  

    Since bursting onto the world scene, Davis and Stevenson have competed in many high-profile fights, and they have captured several world titles. 

    In 2023, Davis’ win over Ryan Garcia was witnessed by a huge audience and it ensured that the Baltimore fighter became one of the sport’s biggest names. 

    For Stevenson, his climb is still ongoing, but the man from Newark has not put a foot wrong as a professional and he is back in action on February 22, live on DAZN, against Floyd Schofield . 

    Victory there could bring a fight with Davis closer, but one man does not think Stevenson is ready for that test yet.

    James Toney, a legendary fighter from the modern era, knows all about taking on the biggest challenges, but he firmly believes that ‘Tank’ is the better fighter at this point. 

    “Good fight. Shakur Stevenson’s a good fighter, but Shakur Stevenson ain’t ready for that. Everybody in boxing, you so-called experts, y’all don’t know s—t about boxing,” said Toney when speaking to Fight Hub TV. 

    “Shakur’s a young fighter. Let him develop and then when it’s time you make a move. But now, Tank got that momentum. It’s bad for Shakur. He’ll ruin his whole career like Errol Spence Jr.”
