    Has Shakur Stevenson fought anyone significant yet?

    Seems like every time a big fight is lined up something happens with this guy. Who exactly has he beaten to garner all of this hype?

    Hes won legit titles in the weight classes hes fought in and is an olympic silver medalist. The kid is good. Really isnt his fault nobody eants to step to him. Although i do give him sh.it for not calling Haneys bluff.

      He's fought who's willing to fight him.

      It's never him pulling out of fights, it's his opponents.

      He's the toughest style matchup in boxing, which is why guys want a ton of money to fight him.

        I mean he dominated Oscar Valdez.

        I’m not his biggest fan, but he was pushing for that Haney fight.

          He's beaten a few indie ranked top ten guys now & some belt holders. Who's he supposed to beat that qualifies as "significant"? I'd argue anyone who's got indie ranking top ten W's has significant W's.

            He's beat many credible guys.

            No one "significant" wants to fight him. Haney, Lomachenko, Lopez and Garcia won't be going near him any time soon.

              Valdez and concencio are good names.

              He shoulda took the low pay for the hankey fight. He kinda fvkced up

                It should have been an obvious "lose the battle to win the war" situation with that. Shakur accepts the low pay "loss" against Haney to fight him to become the undisputed light weight champion, then he could've made more money "win" overall in the fights following it. As the undisputed, he can call out those he wants to fight as the upper hand, and likely the most likely path to a potential Tank payday.

                Imagine, Social Media King KO artist Tank Davis vs "Undisputed lightweight champion" Shakur Stevenson...how much would that allure both the casuals and hardcore fans?

                  Herring and Valdez were both ranked #1 so he's beaten more than just Top 10 ranked guys.

                    Absolutely dominated Herring, Valdez and Concencio.
