Boxing fans can finally see a picture of what would happen in a fantasy fight between Floyd Mayweather and Gervonta Davis.

Mayweather is considered one of the greatest boxers of all-time, retiring with a perfect professional record of 50 wins from 50 fights and has since passed his expertise on to the next generation.

That includes undefeated champion Davis, who he mentored in the professional ranks en route to reaching the pinnacle of the lightweight division.

Naturally, many fans wonder what would have happened if the pair had have both fought in their primes given their immense talent.

‘TBE’ taught his apprentice all he needed to know in the sport, but the pair have since split with Davis moving on from his promotional outfit.

The American fighters have even feuded on social media, and are no longer on the best of terms, with Davis even calling out Mayweather for a surprise fight.

It would be an intriguing clash of styles with Mayweather carrying a one-of-a-kind elite skillset, while Davis possesses more raw punching power.

And boxing video game Undisputed has played host to a simulation of the pair battling, in a unique match-up.

Mayweather started the stronger as many would expect, given the star regularly dictated the tempo of exchanges during his professional career.

Surprisingly he rocked Davis early on with a crisp combination through the guard, which was perhaps a tad unrealistic given his rival had no defence.

But the incredible moment came in the second round as Davis responded, and sent Mayweather crashing to the canvas after a left hook easily crashed on his temple.

It would have been the first time Mayweather was dropped in his professional career, and his character was left in a bloody mess.

He was able to clamber to his feet and weather the storm, with a more even third round unfolding with the favourite back to landing his own shots.

Incredibly in the fourth stanza the end was near, as a bizarre exchange unfolded with Mayweather simply covering up.

Davis clipped him with a booming left hook to the body followed by a glancing shot to the head which pierced his world class defence for the second time.

He collapsed to the deck again and was unable to recover as he tried to beat the count but was left flat on his back.

The outcome would have been seismic for the boxing world, given Mayweather has only ever been beaten as an amateur.

If the pair would have met it would have of course produced fireworks, but in reality would have been much more difficult to get past Mayweather’s stubborn resistance.

This fight outcome would likely be not one widely predicted as the general consensus by boxing experts.

Mayweather’s ex-rival Shane Mosley believes Davis would have been no match for the legend in his prime.

He said: “Floyd Mayweather I think wins. Pretty easily at 135. He’s a little taller, he’s faster, he’s a boxer.

“I don’t think Gervonta would be able to get close to him. He wouldn’t be able to counter punch Floyd cause he’s too short.

“At the same time, I rocked Floyd pretty good. Gervonta seems to have the same type of power I possessed when I was younger.

“There’s another thing, Floyd didn’t like to fight southpaws back then So that is a possibility, cause he didn’t like to fight southpaws.

“I still think Floyd would’ve got him, but there’s a question mark there because Gervonta Davis does punch hard and he could crack him.”
