Comments Thread For: Shakur Stevenson on Fighting Tank Davis: He's the Cash Cow, The A-Side; So It's All Up To Him

[El_Mero]

Could not disagree more. Belts in this day and age are throw-away trinkets signifying absolutely nothing. Legacy is about who you fight and who you do not.

Haney deserves credit, but is hovering around a couple of decent names and now Lomachenko. He is still plenty young and he can do so much.

Lomachenko has possibly the best resume, but it can be argued has not looked his best against the best he fought. I think he needs this win more than Haney in some strange way.

Both Davis and Stevenson have a chance to write an amazing journey going forward. If Davis uses his exciting style and monster fan base to line up 2 legit fights for every throwaway or so (not every fight has to be against elite), no one will care at all who holds what belt. If Stevenson steps up and makes the best look silly with his skill set, no one will care who holds what waist trinket.

Piss on the belts. Let's see the top fight the top and let them keep the money for their efforts that would otherwise be "sanctioning fees" for these leech organizations.

1. Only throw away trinkets are the 2ndary belts Davis has.

2. The problem is Davis aint fighting the best or the top as you say. Hes fighting who he chooses, NOT who he should (top guys)

Shakur Stevenson understands where he stands in the boxing food chain. In a recent interview, the two-division titlist and current lightweight contender from Newark, New Jersey, praised Gervonta Davis for looking "sharp" against Ryan Garcia in their highly publicized fight last week at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Finally, a boxer who acknowledges he’s not the A side despite being popular himself and being an undefeated 2 division champ.

Hopefully they get to fight. Perhaps next year.

Facts..he loss all my respect when he went to 140 and beat Barrios then when asked about a undisputed fight with Josh Taylor he said taylor brings nothing to the table

And then they kissed and made up! Maybe you missed that part? Floyd and Ellerbe are still part of the team! They might not have a contract, but they have his ear! Hopefully all parties can reach an agreement! Fighting Shakur is the best fight at 135 now!

Floyd has no contractual say in regards to Tank LOL.. he has no say in regards to his business.. Floyd just showed up fight night to lil man Tank.. nothing new there.. Ellerbe is on his way out from Mayweather promotions, Floyd is giving him the boot just like he gave Tank the boot. Shakur isn’t some big fight, Al Haymon not making that.

Al is going to make a few more in house fights for Tank until they can build up Ryan vs Tank 2 which will do at least 2 million buys next year.

That’s a first. A boxer with some self awareness

He lost all your respect huh? Ok then.
You reckon that’s the end of his career now? Or is that how he’ll be remembered moving forward?

[boxingitis]

It works ONLY in this case cause neither of them have any belts. The winner of Haney/Loma is the MAN of the division, period. Davis can go along and make all the money he wants but hes nothing more than an entertaining sideshow compared to the UNDISPUTED champion at 135. As for them DOGS at 140, Davis is gonna turn poodle and not fight there any longer unless he pulls bs stipulations there.
For all thebtalent he has, it sure seems to most that he truly doesnt believe in himself w/all the buffoonery he and his team pull.

He can't make too much money without Ryan

Why would it be the end of his career?

I'm speaking for me and where i stand on cherry pickers.

I respect when people move up and target the big dog of the division like roy Jones did when he moved up to 168 and went right after james toney. No fighting around the champ.

if my opinion bothers you then go change your pad *****

[just the facts]

The cash cow is Ryan Garcia.. sorry Shakur

Tank vs Skaur pulls in the same buy rate Tank vs Hector Garcia pulled in LOLLL

It will sell more tickets then the Tank vs Hector fight pulled in but not anywhere near what Ryan pulled in.

I realize that you personally are responsible for the cleanliness of Oscars testicles but Ryan Garcia the quitter ain’t the cash of shyte. The only ppv event he was ever part of was the tank fight. Don’t get me wrong, Garcia bought his share to the table but so did Tank.

You need a new hero. GBP is on life support. Garcia just lost his first real test via quit job. Ramirez lost baaaaddly to Bivol (I still can’t believe you posted that was a close fight) and Ortiz is seriously ill and may never fight again.

[just the facts]

Floyd?? What the hell are you talking about..

Tank is no longer signed to Floyd.. Floyd had absolutely nothing to do with making the Ryan vs Tank deal.

Floyd even kicked Tank out of the TMT gym during training camp, you are completely out of the loop.

This idiot thinks Ryan Garcia is the cash cow and that Bivol/Ramirez was a close fight. But he says someone else is out of the loop……
