Comments Thread For: Shakur Stevenson-Edwin De Los Santos A Done Deal For November 16 In Las Vegas

[Oracle01]

You know absolutely nothing about boxing if you need to “see” a special fighter compete in a new weight class to know he’ll continue to be special. Loma, Floyd, pacman, the list goes on and on of fighters who moved up and we’re still foookin people up.

He hasn't proved to be special in any weight class so far. His best win was over Valdez who got smashed up much worse by Nava.

He's gonna best the **** out of Santos but I'll take what I can get.

whatever lets you sleep easy at night go ahead and say it boxing-****.....the fact is another Pbc fighter is going to fight on another network and it destroys your whole PBC ISLAND argument. Deal with it cupcake!

No one ever said that. Crawford fought multiple PBC guys that no one wanted to see. The only one that was relevant was Porter. Keep believing that people believe in the PBC Island. Everyone can see the only PBC fighters that fight out of PBC are mostly irrelevant. All the PBC fighters that fight with Top Rank fighter get their ass kicks. Deal with that cupcake. Another beatdown from Top Rank fighter to PBC fighter is coming.

You who ahead and keep believing people believe in PBC Island, if helps you sleep at night. We say they don't work with other promoters to make dual PPVs. Oscad had to beg them to make Davis vs Garcia available as a DAZN PPV as well. They wanted Crawford to specifically fight only on Showtime PPV. They wanted Canelo to specifically fight for Showtime PPV instead of offering Plant to DAZN or having a dual PPV.

Tank vs Shakur
Wilder vs Joshua
Can be dual PPV as with May vs Pac and Wilder vs Fury. But they are not.

huh? IMO Santos is faster than Shakur with explosive power, and more reach plus he showed in his last fight he can box. This is a better fight than Martin who looked like trash in his last fight. Shakur is in trouble imo.

Good post. I like this fight more than the Martin fight as well. To me, Shakur is still untested and unproven at 135, or overall. Screw all the hype. He's a good boxer so far and that's really it, level-wise. I'll save my praises for later, if deserved.

Tell me you’re a Stevenson hater without telling me…

Never heard of this guy. He's not in the Top 10 at Lightweight.

Never understand how an unranked guy can fight for a vacant title.

No one at 135 wants to fight Shakur, it's a joke.

Don't be such a whiny baby. Yes no one with a decent ranking wants to fight Stevenson so who do you think he's going to get on short notice after Martin pulled out?
Shakur needs a fight with somebody and De Los Santos answered the call. Shakur just has to keep fighting whoever he can get in the ring until the top dogs face more pressure to fight him. Haney is currently holding the belts hostage. Hopefully after he fights Prograis, if he doesn't move back down to 135 to defend his titles, he gets stripped (of every belt hopefully) due to inactivity and not facing mandatory challengers. It should be easy for the slimy maggots who run the governing bodies because all they care about is money not integrity. The WBC in particular will probably strip him at that point because he's not a marquee ticket seller.

You're a Tank cheerleader though so how valuable or valid is your opinion really? As for the post you replied to, Shakur is NOT in trouble. What a load of nonsense. Shakur will not be challenged until he fights the other top guys in the division.

Who's whining? I've just stated no one wants to fight Shakur.

I just don't understand how someone who isn't ranked in the Top 10 is eligible to fight for a vacant world title.

[theface07]

I was more interested in the Martin fight TBH.

Too bad Martin wasn't and what you want has no bearing on reality.
