Initially, a fan tweeted their admiration for Abdullah Mason, stating, “Gervonta Davis is the only person beating Abdullah Mason at 135-140lbs, and even THAT fight is close. Tank is my 2nd favorite fighter of all time behind Floyd Mayweather, but I will never deny what I see. Abdullah Mason is a PROBLEM for any fighter he is in the ring with.”

This sparked interest, especially when Gervonta Davis himself responded assertively. He acknowledged Mason’s growing reputation but affirmed his own superiority: “No lie, he tough like him grow. But ME?! I don’t give a f**k who you are. It’s no one I mean no one that has more skills than me…I’ll show yall on this 6/7 fight run..” Thus, the stage was set for an intriguing discourse among fans and critics alike.

Further skepticism came from a fan who bluntly assessed Davis’s track record, suggesting that he tends to avoid top-tier opponents unless he has a clear advantage.
