He hasn't really. He's fought two champions, Isaac Dogboe and Valdez. Got dropped by Dogboe and Wilson. Shakur has never been dropped. Navarrete has been behind on the scorecards, only beating Ruben Villa with a close decision despite two knockdowns, and being behind on the cards against Baez and probably Wilson also. Shakur rarely loses more than a couple rounds, and has completely shut his opponents out on many occasions. It's possible that Navarrete has lost more rounds in one or two fights than Shakur has in his entire career. I think Shakur may have only lost around 6 rounds in his entire career if memory serves.
Navarrete is still well acclaimed, but there's a reason he's not viewed the same way as Shakur, despite having more power.
Navarrete was massively helped out by the ref in that Wilson fight. The ref was giving him plenty of time to recover when was spitting his mouth piece out.
He was done. If the ref did a proper job, Wilson would have cleaned him out. He was wobbling all over while the ref was delaying the restart. I've seen fighters waved off when they couldn't stand still like that.
He is elite fighter and he beats everybody at 135. he will prove that when he gets a chance.
Just as I knew Bivol was elite even before fighting Canelo.
Ummm no. But send your girl my way lil cuck! She can see if I am or not....
Why u mad because I don't worship the woman beater??? Why do you care soo much about him??? Likely because you beat women also according to your logic CUCK!
No time for f.ag pedophiles.
He’s fought a couple, but as for the others, isn’t he still with Top Rank? When you’re in TR, you can call out whoever you want, but it won’t happen. He has to leave TR to get elite fighters and big names.
Something about Bob Arum, idk what it is. No one likes working with him unless a fortune can be made.
His fighters seem to get their biggest fights AFTER leaving him.
I think that if you join TR nowadays, you probably want to stay away from big names and just want to build up an undefeated record with the matchmaking they do over there. Because by now, fighters should know how hard it is to get the big fights under TR.
Did you see Mayweather calling out Mosley, DLH, Hatton-Tsyzu winner under TR? Did he get them? No. Not under TR.
How many fighters of note did Crawford fight under TR?
That’s just not the promotional company you join if you want the big names. Not everyone there gets the big names. Arum picks and chooses he wants to “push”.
No, I ref'd the fight and had to warn Stevenson many times for excessive holding and hitting begind the head in between the rounds I saw you doing this to refresh him. You are the best fluffer in all of boxing.

Every post you make is riddled with f.ag this and pedophile that. These things are always on your mind. I wonder why that is? Likely because you’re both.
Both at the end of their careers and no surprise a young, fresh weight bully beats them.
This guys always been a big lightweight whose youth allowed him to abuse a broken system.
We'll see how good he is when he fights live opposition his own size frankly I am tired of all these lightweights like Tank, Martin, Garcia etc etc fighting small ass B tier (at best) opposition and faded no risk guys with a bit of name value. Its pure speculation how good any of them are truthfully cause none ever take any real risks. Really we shouldn't even bother and should say shove these fights up your ar5e and give us what we really want to see if you want my hard, earned money.
They've been taking the absolute p1ss for years and fans have let them get away with it.
Stevenson is so feared and avoided we can't get him a fight.
Tank is so avoided blah blah blah
This guys the real bogeyman and all of this tosh well they are in the same boat then and seeing everyone else is supposedly so scared how about they fight each other for once so we can separate the men from the boys. Oh no makes too much sense, right?
Herring is a terribly mediocre fighter who lucked out on a title once the division totally died. He wasn't good enough to even get by the division gatekeepers at his peak prior to the division totally dying.
His only notable win is a shot to bits, undersized Frampton.
As for Valdez he's not looked the same since he p*ssed hot and I am sure we can all agree on that. Soon as they took his juice away, he became a total punchbag.
He should be 3-1 since with that win being a terrible performance vs Adam Lopez
No, not really.
I mean Navarette has practically beaten all of the same guys and then some and he hasn't half the hype.

He was also half his size and has looked dog**** since popping for steroids
At the time Stevenson fought Valdez, Valdez was an undefeated 2 division champion, no???
Seems like OP just hates Shakur and as a result, nobody will ever count as significant.
"He needs to fight Haney". Shakur beats Haney. "Haney was overrated and lost to Loma. Who has he beaten."
"He needs to fight Loma". Beats Loma. "Loma has lost 3 times. He's past his best."
"He needs to fight Tank". Beats Tank. "Tank never fought anyone real. He's only got one legit world title, and had been ducking the top guys his whole career."
"He needs to fight Lopez." Beats Lopez. "Lopez lost to that bum Kambosos, and is very inconsistent. He was having an off night."
Any of the upcoming contenders like Zepeda, etc, the narrative will be that they weren't in their prime.
I'm not convinced Shakur wins all of those fights, and I'm quite sure most of them won't happen because he's too dangerous. But if you hate a guy, there's always a way to minimize his accomplishments, and boxing "fans" are notorious for moving the goalposts. Look at Canelo/Mayweather/Pacman haters.
Seems like every time a big fight is lined up something happens with this guy. Who exactly has he beaten to garner all of this hype?
Valdez was a 2 division undefeated champion. Next dumb question……………
He's beaten a few indie ranked top ten guys now & some belt holders. Who's he supposed to beat that qualifies as "significant"? I'd argue anyone who's got indie ranking top ten W's has significant W's.
Herring and Valdez were both ranked #1 so he's beaten more than just Top 10 ranked guys.
