Before officially inking his name on the dotted line with his promotional company, Bob Arum knew there was something intrinsically special about Shakur Stevenson.

Correct. He is the successor to Floyd 'Money May' PPVweather.....but definitely not 'Pretty boy' Floyd Mayweather. Pretty boy Floyd was all violent offense no defense. Shakur doesn't come anything close to that!

[Cypocryphy]

Can we have some honesty? Floyd had a ton of charisma. Shakur doesn't have 1/10th of Floyd's charisma and he certainly hasn't showed Floyd's talent for flair with his KO's. Shakur might make it on the P4P list, but he's not going to be the next Floyd. Nonsense.

It's going to take a lot of steroids, fight ducking, woman beating, and tax evasion but Shakroid is definitely on the pace.

Yeah. The hypocrisy is incredible. Let's face it, Loma has the complexion for the rejection. Many American boxing fans are tribal and **** heads.

I'm always hopeful that newer generations exceed the achievements and greatness of former generations. Shakur has the goods. We'll see how far he goes.

Not a Stevenson fan but I like that he is very focused on the job.

Floyd was very likable as a young fighter and he came from an established family of fighters, that's a huge group of fans passing it down - it was like my dad who saw his father and uncle had interest in seeing Floyd too. Roger was already a name in my household, he fought a lot of my dad favorites, I saw a couple of his fights when I was young, so he had respect and Floyd added to that.

SS doesn't have that benefit, but I think he is focused on having the Pretty Boy stage of Floyd's career where others have wanted to bypass and go straight to the Money part.

he wont make it.... he has to use alot of Ped's & hide it from the authorities, pay the judges, run & hug alot, make his own rules, he gets hits too much like he did his last fight..... plus boxing today is too competitive... Floys is one lucky ass weasel.
