At one point, Floyd Schofield Jr. suggested a potential matchup between the two athletes.
“F*** that boy up though. F*** him up right here. Can we get this in 2026? 2027?”
The viral clip sparked significant online discussion, with fans prioritizing debates about weight class alignment over fight feasibility.
Numerous commenters highlighted Keyshawn Davis’ physical growth, asserting he no longer belongs in lower weight divisions.
“This dude should not be fighting anything lower than 147 lol.”
“Keyshawn should be 147 at the lowest.”
Observers noted a visible size discrepancy between Davis and Roach during their recent encounter.
“Keyshawn look way bigger than Roach. 147-154 Keyshawn. Leave the lower weight divisions alone.”
Critics also referenced Davis’ recent weight management struggles, suggesting a shift upward is increasingly inevitable.
“And y’all wondered why that weight bully couldn’t make weight multiple times.”
“Why won’t these fighters compete in their natural weight class?”
The fan sentiment underscores a belief that Davis’ future success may hinge on moving to welterweight. His inability to make weight in two of his last three bouts further fuels this perspective. While speculation about a Davis-Roach fight remains, many agree the conversation should focus on whether he should target heavier opponents instead.
