Comments Thread For: Tapping The Brakes on Shakur Stevenson's Lightweight Hype

My whole issue with Stevenson is that fight in the parking garage they got on video. That kind of fight makes you a thug in my eyes.

more popular fighters have did worse. For example, Dlh loves underage girls that no one wants to talk about. Crawford was in scrap with a mechanic, but it wasn't filmed so it got swept under a rug. Fighters are humans first and some of them get into **** outside of the ring.

This is the era of boxing we live in now. Champions with less than 20 fights, or unproven fighters getting heaps of praise and hype around them with less than 20 fights. Shakur passes the eyeball test, but he'll need to beat a top contender to boost his stock. I'd like to see Shakur vs Kambosos at 135, I think that would be a great test for him.
