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

[gauze]

His trainer said Inoue’s dream fight was Tank

he should move up to 135 immediately then. it's only 13 pounds.

The dude is ****ing 30 years old. How much more "adult weight" can he keep adding? Aside from Pacquiao, Floyd and Whitaker started nowhere near 108.

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.

If Stevenson is such a bad boy, why don't you drop down in weight and fight at a catch weight, instead of calling out a original jr flyweight to mov6 up Lightweight!!! Stevenson should be a shame of himself calling out a jr flyweight!!! That's some funny ****!!!

Inoue’s already gone up 5 classes at 30 years old. You wanting him to go up at least 3 is a huge ask, one that has only been done a handful of times and venturing to WW, done only by Pacquiao, in terms of the amount of weight classes. Crawford going to 160 is still 6 and that’s hypothetically. As of now Inoue has already gone up more classes than Crawford. So while technically there is a possibility of Inoue going to 135 and beyond, odds aren’t in his favor, especially at 30+ years of age.

That's lame, calling out someone 3 weight divisions lower than yours - you going up 3 divisions if Jermell calls you out at 154?

Shakur has been talking out his a** lately

[VegasRaiders]

This AA boxers are cowards

Big mouth American fighters ducking Inoue! Scary to move down in weight!Afraid to chase greatness!SHAMEFUL !

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.

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.

Mfer is 3 divisions down from him lol. This is one of these times you just say you respect a mfer & keep it pushing. Weird to bring up fighting a mfer so far away in weight.

Since he's the littlest money guy & already #1 at 122 a 126lb guy can talk about fighting him, but if you are 130 or above let Monster make his path w/e that will be & worry about your own sh^t til he's at your weight.
