Comments Thread For: Shakur Stevenson calls for Conor Benn fight ? with rehydration clause

Well then take Haney, why Shakur going for the less skilled in the Division. He Benn just fought at 160. He should (and has also called Haney out) but calling Benn out highlighted his hyporcrisy and if Shakur gets the fight it's an easy payday.

I'd prefer Haney v Shakur to Benn getting beat in a one-sided fight. Don't worry though, that hypocrite has already said he won't fight for an IBF title because of their rehydration clause so he definitely won't take up Shakur's offer (which includes a rehydration clause).

Just Make Haney vs Shakur, it will be like Hagler vs Hears. I'd prefer Haney v Shakur to Benn getting beat in a one-sided fight.

It’s pretty telling that he’s doing this, Shakur Stevenson has no draw as a fighter, people don’t watch him for exciting fights.

Benn on fighting Haney, "he's too boring." Benn on fighting Shakur, "he's too small." I think he wants to talk himself into a title shot without earning it, at the same time he wants a big payday and I doubt either guy will provide the payday that will make a loss worthwhile for him (I guess Turki could make it happen). Just Make Haney vs Shakur, it will be like Hagler vs Hears.

How is this fight even being considered when they are in different weight classes and Benn doesn't even hold a title in any division whatsoever??? benn is a big draw by being an interesting character, much like rolly, instant box office draw. Add the intrigue of Stevenson immiediately jumping a division, or two, only heightens interest in the fight. No title needed, there's money to be made!

He's already got a title shot without earning it. He's the WBC mandatory for the Barrios-Garcia winner. How, I have no clue. He's beaten zero Top 10 ranked WW's in his career.

Shakur probably just sees him on TV every week like the rest of us, and figures he some kind of star or something. Kind of a shrewd call-out from Shakur, asking for the hydration. Not happening at all.

this is the most irrelevant fight proposed lately. pro boxing is so random.

Zero chance Benn does a rehydration clause. Which is quite funny.

That would be a big money fight. Coming with a rehydration clause, Benn won't take that fight - not right now. Shakur will give him a boxing lesson. Benn isn't going to risk his earning power, overseas, by taking a sure loss against Shakur. He'll seek an easier big named opponent instead.

Shakur is way to boring to watch fight
