Comments Thread For: Stevenson: Haney is a Fight Where I Could Establish Who I am as a Fighter

Someone needs to put Shakur's feet back on the ground. He really hasn't established himself at the lightweight division and yet he thinks that he's the best. This guy is getting irritating.

He is irritating because he is 5 minutes in the division and calling out everyone? That’s exactly what he is supposed to do. He is arrogant, confident and extremely skilled, all the ingredients you need for me to support you

Shakur is a sorry punk a.. , Talks mad game but in the ring he's no killer he's a brick city slapper.

He’ll smack Haney around 10-2. While I don’t place much into sparring, he did two piece him constantly like a 2$ whore. Haney won’t go near him. Mark my words.

I find him extremely irritating too (and, from what I've read about him outside the ring, not a particularly likeable person) but he's entitled - in fact, if he has any self-belief , obligated - to believe he's the best.

As you say though, he now needs to establish himself at 135. But he does that by fighting the best, which are the fights he's calling for.

He seems like someone who is biting more than he can chew to me. He has said that he wants Tank next, in another occasion it becomes Haney next and in another occasion it's Loma next. He seems confused and just spewing out names. Self-belief is a great thing but you have to be careful that it doesn't turn you into an arrogant irritant. Shakur is gradually becoming an arrogant irritant imo.

Best win is Valdez? You’re right! But that’s a HUGE quality win to have on his resume. AND it was a massacre! Up until this weekend, that’s better win than Haney has on his resume. A win over Valdez is a better win than Tank has on his resume, and I’m a Tank fan! Not to mention that Stevenson is just now moving up the charts and getting his name out there. He’s not a veteran fighter that has taken cupcake fights for the first 25 wins. He’s coming hard. I’m not a Stevenson fan really, but the man is the goods. In todays game, getting a big win like a win against Valdez, says a lot. The best don’t always fight the best.

Do you seriously see Valdez giving Loma, Tank or Haney any trouble? Didn’t think so.

Slap your face to a unanimous decision. Nothing wrong with that. Skills pay the bills

Him and another boxer beat the sht out of 2 women and dude. Even hit the guy multiple times when he was down and out.

shakur seems to have people scurred, hes the guy who wants to make any big fight right now it seems to me, nothing wrong with that, a lot of guys are the exact opposite and go the marination route, as for haney hes been great too & im sure he wants a tank payday so it doesnt really make sense v shakur if shakur is as good as people say he is

actually loma v shakur is great if loma cant get haney or tank either, loma is still a good live dog in the division but if the belts are out of reach for loma he may consider shakur if the cash is right possibly, not sure

I think out of the list you provided, I actually think he’d give Tank the most trouble because they’re similar in fighting style and Valdez will stand and trade. Probably wouldn’t end well. But….. regardless, Valdez is at 130! While every guy you named is at 135. So Valdez won’t be fighting those guys!

The point is he thinks he’s the best for beating limited opposition. And speaking of weight, Stevenson’s greatest skill is dieting and dehydrating. He’s a prodigious weight bully. If you look at his body, he has had at least 15-20 pounds on much smaller guys up to this point.
