Comments Thread For: Shakur Stevenson Still In Search Of Foe For WBC Eliminator; Shuichiro Yoshino Next In Line

Honest, Zapeda is leavings. Shakur is past gate keepers. I don't want to see him in with someone I know can be boxed. Fight the winner, not the loser. Call out Prograis, that will ****e up the pot.

William Zepeda, not Jose

There’s really no one else with a name at 135 that he can fight. Unless he can get someone in or around his weight class, Regis or Teofimo would be good fights.

Naw, he needs to just go down the list so we all know who's scared of him. Shakur hasn't fought once at the weight and he already should move up for better comp?

He'll get this belt, then call a few bluffs before moving up.

I’ve seen this before. Boxer gets ducked and left with limited options, fans criticize who boxer faces while simultaneously still supporting the boxers who did the ducking.

Kinda surprised Pitbull didn't want any of that. He'd have been a potentially interesting stylistic matchup. But mostly I understand not wanting to face Shakur. He's high risk, low reward, and historically not particularly exciting to watch. Only the latter can really be considered Shakur's fault. I think he's got to be one of the most frustrating people to fight, and if you don't even get a belt out of it, I can see why people wouldn't want that fight.

It says that they declined the offers. But what were the offers given to them? It comes across as ducking on their part but at the same time they were probably low balled. Regardless, the outcome would be the same....Shakur takes them all to school.

Wrong Zepeda.

Yea, same thing they did with Haney. They will keep coming up with reasons why they won't give him his respect, and talk up these bums they support - usually because they're the same race as the cowards

why not kambosas?

It is & always was gonna be Jermaine Ortiz who like Shakur is with Top Rank a easy in house fight to make the Japanese fighter been fighting in Japan for 7 years fighting bat hunters for easy money he ain't thinking about coming to the US & get baptized by Stevenson

Regardless of money, since it was an eliminator, one of the opponents would have gotten a shot at the title and the big time if they won, but apparently they were not confident of their chances of winning.
