"Jon Jones vibes" - Fans react to Gervonta Davis dismissing potential Shakur Stevenson fight with "he hasn't done nothing" jab

Gervonta Davis recently brushed off the prospect of a potential matchup with Shakur Stevenson, responding with a sharp retort. 'Tank' is set to defend his WBA lightweight title against Lamont Roach on March 1, 2025, at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

During a pre-fight press conference on Tuesday, Davis was asked if he would be open to the highly speculated super fight with 'Sugar' in the future. The 30-year-old Maryland native swiftly shot down the idea, dismissing Stevenson's career accomplishments:

"What has Shakur done? What has he done in the sport? He hasn’t done anything. The young ones are looking better than him. Keyshawn [Davis] is looking way better than [him]. You keep mentioning his name, but he hasn’t done nothing... Why do you keep saying his name for?"

Fans responded to Davis' snub of Stevenson with an array of reactions, with some drawing parallels to the ongoing situation between UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones and interim titleholder Tom Aspinall.

One fan wrote:

Another wrote:

"Yeah, he's fighting a dude named Roach that no one heard of. Exactly why MMA has overtaken boxing."

Another commented:

"Sounds like a man that enjoys easy fights."
