Besides, the other good thing about Gervonta Davis is that he is small and Paul likes them small. When they are small, they are easier to control, easier to hurt, and less likely to give it back. When they are small, Paul tends to feel bigger than normal, stronger than normal, and can mitigate any disparity in skill or experience. He only hoped that when he and Davis met for the first time he would not be shocked by Davis’ height or find out that he had lied about it, as some are apt to do in a dating profile. He wanted Davis to be honest and to see, when standing next to him, a man no taller than 5 ‘5. He also wanted to make it clear to Davis that when they boxed, on November 14, the stipulated weight would be 195 pounds. That way Paul, a 200-pound cruiserweight, wouldn’t have to deplete himself too much to make weight and that way Davis, a natural lightweight, would be left working out the difference between 135 pounds, his normal fighting weight, and 195 pounds, the weight at which Paul would “fight” him on November 14.
