Comments Thread For: Arum Praises Shakur Stevenson, Tells Him He Will 'Surpass' Marvelous Marvin Hagler

[Greenfield02]

I know promoters are full of sh** but Bobby takes it to a new level..... This is the guy that said Teofimo, Berlanga, and Crawford were going to be the next best thing since sliced bread....

Stevenson is an Ultra-Talented Boxer! Bob might learn from the past, and avoid the mistakes he made with so many ATGs that left him, mostly on bad terms! That would be great for Shakur! Much respect to Brick City, but I can't crown Shakur until he defeats the winner of Haney vs. Lomachenko! Can't wait for that match-up! Let's Get It!

I hope Shu-Shu is next! I hope Arum gives him the same shine as Shakur, Xander, Keyshawn, and Jared! Brooklyn Stand Up!

I get the impression Shakur has the willingness to take on anyone, however, with the way boxing is today I don't think he'll have the opponents needed to elevate him like Hagler was elevated.

Stevenson will not have the strength of schedule or quality of opponent to garner both the level of widespread appeal or merit that Hagler earned. Hagler has ATGs on his resume and he came up the hard way. I like Arum and his body of work but he’s hitting that ganja too hard.

Shakur still long way to go and lot to prove for such comparison honestly.

Good old Bob Arum. "Yesterday I was lying. Today I'm telling the truth".
I see that Bob is now a fresh fruit salesman with his latest comparison between apples and oranges.

Arum should be in mental hospital...

AKA "Alzheimer's, Senile, etc.. And his staff a bunch of buffoons with Jacobs, Moretti. Once Arum croaks TR is gone..

Good luck to Shakur, but there are no Tommy Hearns level fighters for him to fight. Why even compare him to Hagler, when he fights nothing like Hagler?

My thoughts exactly. The only things that they have in common are the fact that they are both male boxers, are African Americans, and are apparently both from Newark. But that's where the comparisons end, lol.

i always think its funny when fighters people like get hype they love it but when they dont like the fighter and that fighter gets some hype they can go ballistic at not just the fighter but his fans too and actually blame the people giving the guy hype for their dislike of the fighter
