Top Rank CEO Bob Arum has worked with some of boxing\u2019s best, promoting the likes of Muhammad Ali, Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao during his time in the sport, and now there is a member of Arum\u2019s current stable that he believes could go on to be one of the greatest boxers of all time.<\/p>\n
Arum promoted 27 of Muhammad Ali\u2019s 61 career bouts, working with \u2018The Greatest\u2019 from his fight with George Chuvalo in 1966, up until his final win against Leon Spinks in 1978<\/a>, when he became boxing\u2019s first three-time heavyweight world champion.<\/p>\n Having worked in the boxing industry for over 60 years, Arum undeniably has an eye for talent and even to this day, the 94-year-old is the promoter of three active world champions \u2013 Xander Zayas, Bruce Carrington and Abdullah Mason \u2013 many former titlists and a number of up and comers.<\/p>\n When discussing his fighters in an interview with DAZN<\/a> \u2013 Top Rank\u2019s new broadcast partner \u2013 Arum labelled former WBO lightweight ruler Keyshawn Davis as a fighter that can become one of the greats.<\/p>\n \u201cKeyshawn Davis is one of these young men that has a tremendous amount of skill. If he can control his life and harness those skills, he will be one of the great fighters of all time.\u201d<\/p>\n The enigmatic Davis was stripped of his lightweight title when he missed weight ahead of an attempted first defence against Edwin De Los Santos last year. \u2018The Businessman\u2019 has since returned to action in the super-lightweight division, where he scored a dramatic late knockout over Jamaine Ortiz in January after largely dominating proceedings.<\/p>\n Despite having just one fight at 140lbs, Davis\u2019 future may lie at the welterweight scene, after the undefeated Norfolk contender revealed that he is close to securing a \u2018championship fight\u2019 up at 147lbs<\/a>. He has made it clear he is targetting Devin Haney, however that is not understood to be next.<\/p>\n
