Comments Thread For: Shakur Stevenson: "In My Opinion, I'm Better Than Everybody"

[Elheath]

For Shakur, I'm just going to continue to repeat the same thing I've been repeating dumbly for the last few Shakur topics: Shakur needs to suck up the pride just for once, accept a 25% ****ty pay offer and defeat Haney (which he is definitely capable of) to take all the belts and become the undisputed champion, then do his trash talk for great publicity and great villain status.

No matter how good Shakur is, and certainly no matter how much Shakur THINKS he deserves the fame and money, the fact right now is that he is a young and talented but beltless relatively unknown (to the public) boxer that doesn't generate much interest for most people. Tank is also beltless, but due to his sheer casual popularity he can still generate money even while beltless. Shakur cannot (at least, not yet) because he doesn't have Tank's casual appeal profile, but the title of "undisputed light weight champ" will make him the great target No one knows of former two division champion Shakur Stevenson outside hard core boxing fans, but even the casuals understands the simple explanation of "the dude who is the champion therefore he must be strongest guy i(in the simple mind of casuals)". Therefore no title Shakur calling out others for ducking makes a casual fan think a beltless chump talking BS. Undisputed champion Shakur calling out others for ducking makes a casual fan think dang this guy who is the champion is so strong that everyone is scared of him? Hey Tank show this guy who's the real boss!

Long story short I want a Shakur vs Haney fight so that it can make the "evil undisputed champion Shakur Stevenson vs casual fan's superstar hero Tank.Davis" happen.

He’s been told to run his mouth to build his profile.

This assh*le is a legend in his own mind. . He's good but not tjat good. . Stop smoking that dumb **** kid

lol shook of what? Casuals like you acting like he's the second coming of Floyd, he can't punch, he's boring and has nothing to offer anyone and his best win Valdez has not aged well.

im not a fan of gayweather jr. shakur is not like him at all. shakur wants to fight the best he's not waiting until they are past their best to fight or waiting until someone else beats them. shakur is calling everybody out right now! why won't they fight him and beat him if he's not that good?

Better than everybody in your house you ignorant lil punk

How come we aren't talking about Shakur vs Tank ? That's a huge fight.

Stevenson is undefeated 2 div. former world champ heading to a 3rd world title. You're not hoping your hating. You should quit with that BS, good and nothing special. Stop dreaming. Stevenson beats the **** out of Santos, IMO

None of what you listed makes you special in 2023 with so many easy belts for the taking. I look at who has he beat and that is nobody other than Valdez who just got smashed by Nava.

[Oracle01]

nobody wants prove him wrong in the ring though everybody is shook of shakur. have you been living under a rock?

This & the fact he's not a KO guy is why Shakur needs to take a villain role in the good guy vs bad guy dynamic to hyping future fights to max out his potential in the ring & $$$-wise. He has the potential to achieve similar to Floyd, to make similar money to Floyd & be hated as much as Floyd that helped get him the fights & the money he got.

I mean even if you are better than everybody, & I think Shakur is the best guy myself altho he gots to prove it in the ring still, you don't wanna be the guy who says that necessarily esp when you got Shakur vibes where ppl kinda see you as an azzhole off the jump.

no hate i just don’t get what everyone is seeing? he’s decent not a bad fighter but nothing special and he’s getting carried away with his own talent which is always dangerous

He arguably has the best footwork on the planet.
He arguably has the best distance control on the planet.
He "statistically" has the best hit and not get hit rate on the planet. (3 to 1)

At the same size, he can give tough fight to anyone.

you clearly follow him more than me from what i have seen but are these stats due to his opposition? interested to see if he can keep those numbers against the best
