Whether it\u2019s this lifetime or the next, one thing will always remain the same. <\/p>\n

Frank Martin<\/a> doesn\u2019t like Keyshawn Davis<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Over the last few years, the two have called each other every curse word imaginable. They also verbally went back and forth face-to-face. Even now, several years since their last altercation, Martin still can\u2019t stand him. <\/p>\n

\u201cF\u2014 him,\u201d Martin told Champside on their YouTube page during a recent interview. \u201cIf he wanna [expletive] with me, tell him I said come on, bring it on.\u201d<\/p>\n

For a while, it appeared as though a matchup between them was out of reach. In the case of Davis, he grabbed the WBO lightweight title<\/a> earlier this year on February 14, against Denys Berinchyk in New York\u2019s Madison Square Garden. He then claimed that he would be making a long run at the weight. <\/p>\n

That, of course, wasn\u2019t the case. <\/p>\n

In what was set up as a homecoming fight that was destined to help his star power against Edwin De Los Santos, Davis (13-0, 9 KOs) blew weight and was stripped of his title on June 6<\/a>. Instead of attempting to force his body back down in weight, Davis admitted that his days at 135 were officially over. <\/p>\n

Martin, roughly a year ago, made that same decision. <\/p>\n

After taking his first loss on the chin against Gervonta Davis<\/a> at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada, on June 15, Martin (18-1, 12 KOs) took some time to himself. The 30-year-old was never your typical slender lightweight. Instead, his muscular frame made it difficult for him to make the weight, but things became near impossible in his last two appearances. <\/p>\n

Training and working himself to exhaustion is one thing, but skipping out on meals and not feeling 100% on fight night was no longer acceptable. Now, Martin is hoping to make his junior welterweight debut. <\/p>\n

Coincidentally, both Martin and Davis are now campaigning at 140 pounds with no dance partners lined up. Talks aren\u2019t likely to take place next between them, but if the two sides could eventually work out a deal, Martin would love that. <\/p>\n

As for how that showdown would ultimately play out, don\u2019t expect it to be even remotely competitive. <\/p>\n
