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

[Fangedgrowl]

Weight bully ha ha ha!

yep for the Valdez fight he looked like a big super lighweight. He looked real big compared to Valdez. Just confirms what we all thought. He should have moved up after the Valdez fight.

Based on my exquisite expertise.

People always find a way to hate the best. It's par for the course. Hate due to missing weight?

I believe it's 99.999% impossible Shakur loses tomorrow.

I'm not hating. I'm just being honest. I like Shakur very much as a fighter. But I like evidence. We need to see how he looks fighting guys his own size or guys bigger than him. So far, his best wins were Joet Gonzales (good win) Jamal Herring (Over-the-hill but solid performance) and Oscar Valdez (best win). Let's see some more. Saying he's the best talent in all of boxing sounds crazy to me. You have a 50 percent chance of your 99.999 percent prediction being right.

Anyway, we'll see all tomorrow.

Shakur has been at 130 his whole career. 6 years ago he was 19 years old.
Oscar started his career at 130 and went as high as 160.
Floyd started at 130 and got to 154.
Roy Jones started at 160 & got to HW.

Were they weight bullies when they were campaigning at the lower weights?

Shakur winning two belts at 130 says that he’s clearly got skills. He’s now moving to 135. With his high profile name, he’s not going to be fighting unknowns.

The guy is just 25. He’s got a lot of time to do a lot of things at 135 and then 140.

I never said he was a weight bully. He was young and still growing. But right now? After seeing him in there with Herring and Valdez, I realized he'd filled out quite a bit. Actually, let me change that. I remember in the Olympics that people were calling him a weight bully without calling him a weight bully. They said he was "HUGE" for the weight class. When he fought Robisey, they said that they couldn't believe he made the weight. So maybe calling Sakur a bit of a weight bully might have some truth to it.

I'm one of those guys that believes we should have same-day weigh ins. I think that missing weight or rehydrating 20 plus pounds like Ramirez and Haney is just as bad as using PEDs. I really do.

Anyway, Shakur will be moving up and will be fighting a weight that suits him. He'll be at 140 soon, I have no doubt. I don't see a long stay at 135.

[MulaKO]

I suppose that confirms that he's not even going to try to lose those two pounds? So he's stripped of his titles ... who's betting on an upset tomorrow? Shakur looks not himself this fight.

So you say Shakur looks not himself , really ?
In case you didn’t notice he is a pound and a half over weight
I hope you were kidding cause not sure exactly why he looks not himself ?

Not just the weight but the way he was reacting to the press and people asking him questions. He seems annoyed or flat. Something is off. Then he misses weight ...

[Damn Wicked]

Lol Shakur blaming it on his body. "It's not me! It's my body!" Dude, it's the same thing. All these guys that miss weight have the same sad story like their body betrayed them.

Agreed. It's their lack of discipline, not their body.

I'm with you 100% on this, we need to see him fight top guys to truly believe. But he's sooo good dude. I can't imagine him not panning out. I've never seen someone so talented not pan out and I've seen a lot of guys come up over the years.

Names like David Reid and Meldrick Taylor come to mind, but imo they're not as good as Shakur out of the box (no pun intended). Bold statements, but thats what I see.

And then he wins a comfortable decision
