Comments Thread For: Shakur Stevenson on Tank Davis: Who Am I To Throw an Offer To The Biggest Star in Boxing?

[Oldskoolg]

Tank vs Shakur would be HUGEEEEE!!!

I love a Tank vs Shakur fight!!!

I’d love that fight too and it’s one of the best fights to be made in the sport but it’s not huge, not yet. Shakur is know man to us fans but he hasn’t reached the casuals anywhere near the levels that tank has. Shakur needs names, big names to raise his profile

[Roadblock]

Stevenson is not n a position to make David an offer but he is a position to call him out, challenge Tank to make him an offer etc.

Which is what he did here, he said he would love that fight and its the biggest for him, that's a call to Tank to respond or ignore it, as the article points to the fight is for Tank to make a move on, Shakur has said he wants it. Truth is they will marinate this one for sure.

All I heard was a lot of bullsht from Shakur. All this fool does is cap off. What can I offer Tank? You’re a PPV fighter with the biggest sports network in the world backing you up. TR would spend the money on Fury in a second so what’s stopping this pssy?

I don't see it happening. Maybe in 2025. Doesn't matter. There are enough interesting fights among 2nd tier fighters.

Well, maybe that's what he did. But it didn't sound the same as when he's talking about other fighters. You're right though, that fight isn't happening anytime soon. Thanks.

Loma has been in TR in house fights virtually his whole career except when he fought Campbell. AJ has been in in house MR fights his whole career. So have about 80% of all active boxers. Why is it only an issue when it's a Pbc guy?

pretty sure usyk isnt matchroom

Was Gary Russell top rank?

It's a problem all round if you're a true fan, we don't get to see the best fights at the right time.

Shakur needs to sell himself a bit more, the casuals will really like his personality, this is the big picture.

Which comes to the argument that Shakur should just suck it up once and pounce on Haney no matter how ****ty the money offer is. I fully believe if Shakur fights Haney he will definitely win.

Tank Davis vs "the undefeated and undisputed light weight champion" Shakur Stevenson will be a great headline even for the casuals and waaaay more lucrative than Tank Davis vs "undefeated former two division champ" Shakur Stevenson. For the casual fans who don't follow boxing deeply outside their favs, the belts are what matters.

And you conveniently left out Joshua.

I only put Champions
