Shakur definitely dropped the ball there IMO. If you take the fight and win, you have the leverage and all the belts and everyone has to come through you and you get the big side of every purse. I have Haney 4th after some combination of Loma, Tank, and Shakur. Some good talent in Jamaine Ortiz, Frank Martin, Keyshawn Davis coming up too. But Haney was willing to bet on himself and now he gets to make the offers. Why isn't Shakur willing to bet on himself that way?

why would anyone think tank davis is the best?
haney is 2-0 vs top 5 fighters and 4-0 vs top 10 fighters
loma is 5-2(or 6-1 unofficially) vs top 5 fighters and 6-2(7-1 unofficially) vs top 10 fighters
tank is 0-0 vs top 5 fighters and 1-0 vs top 10 fighters
not in the same category

Obviously, you haven't heard. Shakur Stevenson has recently rejected a contract offer from the champ Devin "The Dream" Haney for the Lightweight crown. It was a simple duck. He cited that the money wasn't enough. Devin Haney was forced to take shorts and bet on himself against Kambosos. So why can't Shakur Stevenson do the same?
Haney doesn’t want to fight Shakur. It’s high risk, low reward and I think most knowledgeable observers of the sport make Shakur a heavy favourite too.
I don’t really blame him for not wanting that fight tbh. Haney struggles to make 135, if he’s gonna cut the weight again may as well make it for a big money fight against Tank. If not, take a more winnable fight at 140.champion4ever likes this.

He offered him 25% right? That’s a BS offer like Fury offering Usyk 30%. You’re smart enough to know that too.

However, if Shakur was smart enough; He would bite the bait by calling his bluff. However, Stevenson won't because he believes Haney is serious about this offer. This is a voluntary defense of the lightweight crown and if Stevenson dares to be great he would take it. In any case, you are right. His offer is bullshit!

Of course, Haney doesn't want to fight Shakur. Which is the reason for the lowball offer. He has everything to lose and nothing to gain by fighting Stevenson.

I don’t believe the offer was serious whatsoever. It’s a PR stunt just like Fury’s BS offer. Shakur is very high risk and low reward and Haney knows it.champion4ever likes this.

How many tickets/buys do you think Haney sold in Australia? That’s why Kambosos was the A side it had little to do with belts. Boxing is a business first and a sport second.
