Keyshawn Davis said he can fight at welterweight right now because he's big enough, but he wants to stay at 135 to capture the WBO belt from Dennis Berinchyk and then unify. Davis (12-0, 8 KOs) could lose to Berinchyk (19-0, 9 KOs) and be left high and dry.

Next month, Keyshon fights WBO lightweight champion Berinchyk on February 14th at the Garcia Theater in Madison Square. The event will be shown on ESPN+.

Too big for 135?

Keyshawn could move up to welterweight right now because he's as big as Jaron 'Boots' Ennis. He'd rather continue to melt down at 135 to gain a size advantage over his opponents. Davis is like Haney 2.0. Too big to fight him at lightweight.

It is a mistake for Kishin to talk about what he will do after Berinchik, assuming that he will win and the unification fight will follow. Davies has created a make-believe world inside his head. His feet are not planted on the ground.

He is not seeing reality. The reality is Keyshawn could lose that fight because he's flawed, and even if he wins, Top Rank won't be able to set up the unification fight he wants. He doesn't want to fight his friend Shakur and he can forget Gervanta Davis and Vassily Lomachenkof are fighting him. He is none of them.

If Keyshawn is brave, he can fight his four-time winner. Andy CruzIf he gets his hands on the WBO belt. Cruz already said last week that he was pulling for Berinchik to beat him so he could take the belt from him later.

Davis wants nothing to do with Cruz because he will send him to school for the fifth time and top ranks regret signing him after losing to the Cubans at the 2020 Olympics.

Can Keyshawn cut it at 147?

“I don't have to be 135 years old. I am older than Shakur. Shakur is probably peeking at 135. My peak is at 147. This is just the beginning. 135 is just the beginning,” Keyshawn Davis said Millcity BoxingSounds like the start of a feud with his friend Shakur Stevenson.

“There are fights. I don't have to fight Shakur, but I want to team up with one of the champions after beating Berinchik. we will see I want to fight. I am young gunner. I want to fight everyone (Except for Andy Cruz) After I get my belt, of course, I want to unify with a champion other than Stevenson.

“I'm not going to be at 135 much longer. As long as I want to be here,” Keyshon said when asked how long he wants to stay at lightweight. “I weigh 144 now. I'm not really a 140-pounder, actually, but I've got the size and strength to do it.

Of course, Keyshawn doesn't have to be at 135, but we know he's going because life will be brutal and difficult if he moves to where he should be fighting killers in the welterweight division. Without Keyshawn's size advantage, he is nowhere. Fighters like Karen Chukhadjian used to pick him apart, weeding him out before fighting Boots.

“He's going to 147 for a reason because I'm in his a*,” Davis said of WBO light welterweight champion Teofimo Lopez moving to 147 because he's running from him.
