    Davis himself is only two fights removed from fighting a guy with 18 losses and is still fighting the feared 'TBA' a month away from his undercard date so he needs to keep things in perspective. Farmer has done well to climb into top 4 spots and is a quality boxer so if Davis is feeling that froggy he could easily fill that date.

    Link? Or was it during that there vid surrounded by Davis people? These guys have been knocking about for a while and much more realistic to happen at this stage than other top tier trinket holders.

    I'll try to find it. I'm sure I can find Dibella explaining that it isn't the right time for it though. Dibella thinks it's better as a headliner in Baltimore or Pennsylvania after a little building. Be right back with what I can find.

    First is Farmer saying he may have been offered the fight but he rejects it and will do it his way without seeing the offer

    Not sure how credible these channels are so I will link 2 where Lou Dibella explains why it shouldn't happen now. Both guys read text from Lou

    Farmer is a sideshow. Davis is mouthing off, and we should not fall for guys that does not build his resume. Davis has talk, so let him step up to the elite. Beating Farmer or indulging Farmer is a sideshow. It's like Anthony Joshua responding to calls from Chris Arreola (not saying it happened, but it would be like that...)
    Bigger man George, bigger punch!

    Man that's interesting. Farmer sounds like a guy more worried about losing a high ranking before it pays off more than Davis. He has multiple options but may be seriously over thinking it. I didn't realize Farmer just had surgery for a torn bicep he suffered in April fight and the ibf had already ordered a fight between he and Dib for official mandatory shot at Davis though. So he either fights Davis in very high profile but all or nothing shot on a month and a half notice fresh off injury or he takes more beatable Dib in official eliminator in September with more heal up and Davis will be ordered to face him as #1 anyway. Ideally anyway but looking like that I can see his thinking but that's assuming an awful lot as one cut, inspired opponent or spurned ranking body etc can change all. Be very interested to see who Davis faces now.

    But DIB pulled out, that's when Farmer asked to be on the card against Davis and Davis said yes. That's why Dibella had to explain why it wasn't going to happen. They think they can do better financially with it as a headliner. Which, fair enough, but this becoming a real problem where contenders are turning down champions.

    I'm a bit of a hypocrite when it comes to Davis. Because I'm always for best vs best. But on him I agree with you, he just became champion, he's 22. He shouldn't be expected to fight P4P guys yet. If he chooses to great, but he shouldn't be forced to yet. He might progress and it might be a great fight in a year or 2. Look how far he has improved in the last year. No reason to ruin what could be a great fight by having it too early
