Iron Mike believes Davis is the “best fighter out there right now’
Former undisputed bantamweight champion Naoya Inoue is also en-route to becoming an all-time great.
But former Hall of Famer Tyson reckons hard-hitting lightweight Gervonta Davis is the most likely fighter to leave the sport with legendary status.
During an interview with TMZ, Iron Mike said of the Baltimore bruiser: “Tank is a great fighter.’
“He’ll be a legend too if he keeps fighting.
“He’s probably the best fighter out there right now.”
Davis, 28, was in action earlier this month against Dominican destroyer Hector Luis Garica.
Tank retained his WBA (regular) lightweight title with an eighth-round stoppage of Garcia – who claimed he couldn’t “see” after the bout.
Davis is now on course to throw down with fellow 135lb star Ryan Garcia, although Team Garcia claim they have yet to receive a bout agreement.

Golden Boy Promotions chief Oscar De La Hoya tweeted: “I have no contract.
“Deadline for me is Monday or I’m moving on.”
The controversial Davis – who was embroiled in a second claim of domestic violence ahead of his return – plans to jump straight back into training camp to prepare for Garcia.
He said: “God willing, I’m ready for the fight.
“It’s scheduled for April and I’m here. On my end, I’m ready.
“I’ll take a week off and I’ll be back in the gym for sure.”
