Gervonta Davis is one of the hardest punchers in boxing. And as he can dish it out, Davis can take it as well.

During his career, Davis has faced some powerful punchers. Ryan Garcia, Rolly Romero, and more are among his notable opponents.

Garcia is a knockout artist in his own right. Davis, though, reckons that Romero is the hardest hitting opponent he has faced off against.

Speaking to the media ahead of his fight against Lamont Roach this weekend, Davis said:

I ain't going to lie, Rolly hit hard. People are sleeping on Rolly. He hasn't got a chin so Rolly gets caught but he can hit. He's the only person I have felt. When he swung it felt like there were bricks in his hands.

Davis and Romero fought in 2022 with 'Tank' earning a vicious sixth round knockout win. Davis claimed that Danny Garcia is another fighter who hits hard. Davis and Garcia have never fought but have sparred together. 'Tank' said:

Who else I sparred that was like that was Danny Garcia. That guy can hit.
