Comments Thread For: Shakur Stevenson: My Body Just Can't Make 130 Anymore; Moving Up To 135 For Next Fight

Weight bully. Fight should not even happen now. Weight is there 4 a reason.

Funny Conceacaio looks a decent bit taller

I see people criticising shakur but guys do grow out of weight classes and yeah it's not great for Robson but you could tell shakur wasn't long for this weight class the guys gotta very big frame and we could see this guy go as high as 147 eventually. Should of moved up after the valdez fight but he's been stripped obviously that's the right call an after this straight to 135

Shakur "Portly" Stevenson is and has been a weight bully. He will get smashed at the higher weight classes.

[Carpe Diem]

He looks like a 140-pounder. He has a chunkier frame than Haney, but they both will soon be at 147 in about two years from now.

Not wholly convinced 1 pound and something ounces makes someone a weight bully.

Robson has the frame to rehydrate to a higher weight than Shakur on the night.

Shakur's fighting the guy he should have for Valdez's title and moving up to a deep division.

Stop crying.

Feels just like yesterday Stevenson said he could handle the responsibility...oh wait

Are you making an excuse for Stevenson coming in overweight?

1.6lbs is enough that I wouldn't go through with the fight. I consider Shakur a top 10 P4P fighter so if this fight goes through I expect a clear win for him.

[Body the jab]

I think he obviously just outgrew the weight, he's beginning to enter his prime and he'll eventually move up into higher weight classes, it's normal. It's no coincidence other fighters in the same age group are moving up too eg Teo, Ryan and Haney will be next.

There are many fighters who stay at the same weight for way too long even though they look gaunt at weigh ins.
