Tuesday was a wild day for the NFL world on Twitter, as Asante Samuel ridiculed Sauce Gardner over the current cornerback rankings in the league.
It eventually led to Asante Samuel downplaying Darrelle Revis’ career, and the former New York Jets’ legend had quite the comeback.
Samuel got absolutely smoked online by Revis. So much so, he’s now challenging the soon-to-be Hall of Fame cornerback to a boxing match.
It all started when Samuel claimed the New York media is the reason why Sauce Gardner is ranked so high.

After that, Asante Samuel mentioned Darrelle Revis and that’s when everything went haywire.
It’s the NY media what did Revis do so special. I’ll wait… It’s documented want great cornerbacks did in the stats

That’s when Revis came off the top rope, claiming that he “never viewed [Samuel] more than what was said about him in the scouting report.”
@pick_six22 just landed. Hear we go smh… 🤦🏾♂️
I really don’t know much about this guy. never was inspired to watch his film but something does jog my memory. I do remember we played Falcons + Rex Ryan made a highlight clip of him being doubled moved on almost every single…

Samuel tried to respond, but it was no use.

The two went back and forth throughout the Tuesday evening and now it seems like Asante Samuel wants to take the argument into the boxing ring with Darrelle Revis.
It’s time to promote this fight. I need some training partners

And, surprisingly enough, it looks like Revis might be up for the challenge.
Let’s do it! I stay ready 🥊

It’s kind of crazy watching two of the league’s best cornerbacks in history go at each other like this. They’re each a legend in their own right. So, it’s just odd seeing them talk so much trash.
Regardless, it’s been wildly entertaining to watch on Twitter and perhaps a boxing match comes to fruition in the future.
In the meantime, we may see them at each other’s throats for awhile, as neither of them have backed down.
