Gervonta Davis vs. Ryan Garcia fight breakdown: Strengths and weaknesses for each fighter before PPV showdown

Take a closer look at what both Davis and Garcia do well and where each could find an opening to exploit

Saturday's fight between Gervonta "Tank" Davis and Ryan Garcia is a rarity in boxing for a number of reasons. From crossing promotional and network lines to the sad reality that the sport rarely sees two young superstars willing to clash with little more than pride on the line, Davis and Garcia are not battling for championship gold,  but because the two men have tied themselves to each other in the press and on social media for years. The time has come to prove who is the better man inside the ring.

Both fighters are undefeated, highly skilled and enter the fight with large fanbases. Both are also no strangers to criticism for a variety of reasons, ranging from Garcia being written off as a "social media fighter" and mentally weak to Davis facing criticism for real-life issues involving multiple accusations of domestic violence and another incident in which he was involved in a hit-and-run.

When young fighters with big personalities are in the same weight class, it's natural for fans to want to see them fight each other. It's also natural for those fighters to exchange words, claim to be the better man and either never fight or only fight once the fight has exceeded its "best by" date.
