Comments Thread For: Shakur Stevenson on Naoya Inoue: "He's a Helluva Fighter, Tell Him Come Up and Fight Me"

[Mammoth]

Crawford went from 130 to now wanting to flirt with 154 and 160. It can be done. The probability of a Stevenson/Inoue matchup is small, but it's still possible. It's one of those things that you never see coming, but if the opportunity is there, a lot of folks would be interested in watching - especially if they continue to win.

Crawford acclimated to each division and he hasn't jumped to 154 yet, 1 division above.

I like him as a fighter. But It seems everytime he opens his mouth lately he plays himself.

Someone put him in a f--king straight jacket and gag him already.

He's had some good interviews & answers to questions lately with the cigar talk guy & his media scrum at his recent workout, but this particular comment is pretty goofy.

Nope, fight can't happen, Inoue's too small and would be unfair for him to go up that high.

Shakur need to worry about his own, stacked 135 class.

What an embarrassing callout

Are you trying to say that as he matures into his adult weight, that Inoue will never make it to 135+?

Pacquiao, Mayweather, Whitaker, and more transitioned into the welters as they got older. This is not out of the question for Inoue. Neither is a matchup against Stevenson. Stevenson has gone up in weight himself.

He’s thirty and in his fifth weight class. When is someone an adult to you??

The trajectory is always up. Let's be real. Fighters move up not down.

Shakur is just desperate at the moment. He is going through what Floyd did at those weights. Until he gets a title, no one will want to touch him. He's gonna have to start insulting people hard for them to grow a pair to fight him.

Yes, but this would be the equivalent of Floyd calling out Israel Vasquez before he fought Gatti

Not everybody is the same, he should be ashamed to mention inoe, some people don't have the genes to move up. We should wait and see, just because pacquio did doesn't mean everybody can do it.

Ino must be flattered by how how good they think he is

Why don’t you go down and fight him? *****!

Some people have no brain, he started at 108, 112, 115, 122 and planning to move up to 126 in the near future, why shakur doesn't move down to 126 and wait for him.
