He is doing things we don\u2019t often see. He was moved quickly as a pro, won a world title and faced hard opposition early, like Nahir Albright. That said, Davis\u2019 biggest enemy will be himself. He has fought only once this year, in February, after which his bout against Edwin De Los Santos was cancelled when he missed weight. Davis should be attempting to fill the top spot in the sport, but how much does he want it? Davis has yet to fight after winning the WBO lightweight title, and he has already lost the belt on the scale. Davis is extremely talented \u2013 he could be one of boxing\u2019s best for the next decade \u2013 but he is also someone without a clear direction, with no word of a return.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With Davis, the talent is obvious.
