Comments Thread For: Shakur Stevenson-Isaac Cruz Lightweight Eliminator Ordered By WBC At Its Convention

[Bronx2245]

Let's just go to purse bids immediately! No need for all the media drama!

Stevenson doesn’t really need to fight in an eliminator does he? Doesn’t he become WBO mandatory being a champion moving up? Like Usyk at HW.

He's not a champion, he lost his belt on the scale. But, he should beat Cruz, it will be a tough fight, but he should win.

I thought his fight vs fortuna was, ,or am i wrong?

No, Ryan hasn't fought anything close to an elimination fight yet, and his fight with Fortuna was at 140

I like this fight if it does actually happen. Clash of styles for sure

Never would have thought of this match up.

[Rebelrbg]

118 - 110 if Shakur doesn't knock him out first. On the flip side, Cruz does not deserve this fight.

How doesn't he deserve it, he's ranked second in the WBC, he's actually ranked higher than Shakur at the moment, and he's been on a tear. He has won every fight, with the exception of a loss early in his career, besides Tank. I would say that he deserves just about anyone in the division besides Haney.

Haney vs Loma
Shakur vs Cruz

Thank you WBC. Early Christmas gift.

We know Haymond ****s everything up. Cant wait for PBC to go out of business. They are not working with other promoters or networks.

No Ortiz vs Thurman, Ennis, Ugas

No Davis vs Ryan Garcia, Loma, Haney, Shakur
No Wilder vs Joshua or Usyk
No Charlo vs Mungias, Andrade, Jacobs, Even Benavides

No Spence vs Crawford, and they Blamed Bob Arum. He is not in the picture and still couldnt make the fight happen.

I'm not a PBC defender, but the hate on this site is ridiculous, I'm beginning to think its other reasons than the ones stated. All the promotion companies are the SAME!! Top Rank won't accept or negotiate fights unless it is on ESPN, Golden Boy and Matchroom won't make a deal unless its on DAZN. But all I see on here is PBC hatred, where's the difference? And some of your statements were just false, Crawford nixed the fight with Spence by doing back door negotiations to fight a sparring partner for big money, thinking that he can always negotiate the Spence fight afterwards; double dipping for pay. Golden Boy blocked the Mungia and Charlo fight, which upset Mungia, that's public information. Usyk chose not to take Wilder, and wants to wait for Fury. The only person holding up Tank and Ryan is Oscar, again because he wants it on DAZN. Loma, Haney, and Shakur are with Top Rank, so will Arum only make those fights with Tank if they are on ESPN? It seems to me like you guys all want PBC to bend over and be a little bxtch for the rest of the promotion companies, and those subservient days are over.

Who has he beaten?

[TyrantT316]

I feel a lot of these guys (Teo, Tank, Garcia, Stevenson, Haney, maybe Navarrete, Valdez, etc) are in the Manny. Floyd, Mosley, DLH, Leonard, Duran, boat in terms of being on the lightweight>welterweight path. Something about developing more legacy and big money fights at welterweight seems to be where a lot of these talented lightweights end up.

[Rebelrbg]

Who has he beaten?

Gamboa, Francisco Vargas, Eduardo Ramirez, Jose Romero, Thomas Mattice, Diego Magdaleno

Can't wait to see this fight get materialized.
