Comments Thread For: Shakur Stevenson Tired Of Waiting, Willing To Fight "Anyone" At This Point

The problem is high risk low reward. Stevenson is a great talent but he doesn't bring enough to the table at this point for the top names to risk their place.

Hello arum, how is your health?

[DJrabit]

Arum has him fighting unknown guys from Asia. You know what to do Shakur. Pick up the phone and call Al just like Crawford did. He the only one getting the big fights done Arum won’t pay for quality opponents because he thinks he’ll lose money. Kambosos, Lomachenco, Haney, Zepeda, Jamaine Ortiz, Ryan Garcia are not with PBC so it’s no excuse for Shakur to be fighting guys like he did in his last fight.

Doesn’t bring enough to the table? His fight at Prudential had over 10,000 in attendance. Among boxing purists, he is well known and we’d all pay to watch him vs Tank or Haney. What exactly does Haney bring to the table? What did Teo bring to the table to get a shot at Loma?
The risk you are speaking of is true, I’m not ignoring that at all. Just saying Shakur’s name is worth more than the next guy Tank or Haney will be fighting unless it’s each other.

That's Arum's job to build him into a star - not just by boxing. Work with him to get more people to know him - enter a tv reality show or do a show of him living his life, training hanging out - whatever it takes or just do loads of interviews and not just on boxing podcasts.
Loeffler had Golovkin doing first pitches at baseball matches - not very imaginative but better than nothing - but look how much money Golovkin has made in his career. Point is, Shakur is a much better boxer than Golovkin - is not a KO artist - and Golovkin was unknown and didn't speak English [still barely does]. T.R need a massive shakeup.

It’s people who think Dulorme Indongo and Postol were killers so obviously the “resume” conversation is subjective. That’s your opinion I respect it but it doesn’t mean it’s true.

Except PBC did a cross-promotion with DAZN for Tank vs. Garcia, let Fulton fight Inoue on ESPN, and then made Spence vs. Crawford, and they have Canelo vs. Charlo on deck! Top Rank is NOT doing it like that! LEVELS!

Yup both Top Rank fighters whoop those PBC media made fighters. Inuoe and Crawford made by Top Rank, real fighters unlike those weak ass PBC fighters. If Shakur from Top Rank fought PBC Tank, Shakur would whoop that ass. Top Rank fighters are LEVELS above PBC fighters.

Tyson Fury Top Rank fighter beat the **** out of Wilder. Most of PBC fighets are media made, weaks fighters.

He's defo in the no one wants him club

[Spray_resistant]

These fighters that have massive talent but not the fanbase or most exciting style, why don't they just make their own luck and fight club fighters on tv every month or 2? they'd stay on people's mind and look good doing it.
