Comments Thread For: Shakur Stevenson: "135 Is An Overrated Division"

[Smash]

I agree, but having Stevenson to it only adds to the overrating....

they say hes a generational talent and arum says he will be more successful than floyd

[crimsonfalcon07]

I think he already knows most of the big names will duck him like crazy.

Cryin and Porky will avoid Stevenson like the plague. Loma and Haney would have the guts to fight him I believe.

He's not wrong.

Until they fight each other, it's not a good division.

I can understand Shakurs disdain for the division and I think he could beat everyone in it. However, until he makes waves in the division, he can't really dog them either. This could be a good way to put 135 all on notice that he's coming for all the top dogs if they want that smoke.

I agree. Haney and Loma are the only real warriors. Davis and Garcia handpick their opponents and spend more time on social media than they do fighting. And Loma is starting to show some wear and tear. Shakur and Haney will vie for supremecy within a year.

Excellent and unbiased top ten. My top ten also, just slightly different order.

He has a point. It only good because the top fighters don’t fight eachother. So it has a bunch of undefeated, but mostly untested fighters. Teofimo Lopez is the only one that can say he’s tested, tasted defeat and beat a couple of top guys (Loma, Commey) there.

Remember when 135 was supposed to be the toast of the town? Other than Haney, Loma and former champ Lopez, the rest are social media putos

[ShoulderRoll]

Completely agree with him. The undisputed champion hasn’t really beaten anyone- I think that’s speaks volumes.

He beat Kambosos twice in his home country.

The same Kambosos who beat Teofimo Lopez fair and square. After Teofimo had ended the Lomachenko hype train.
