Comments Thread For: Shakur Stevenson Promises Superstar Performance on July 6, Rips Detractors

He has done NOTHING to deserve a big money fight. He a real opportunity to fight Haney and let that slip away. Even the fight with De Los Santos was a good chance to showcase himself and he blew that. He had a chance to fight Moratalla and we end up with this fight. Of course he’s going to look good, this guy isn’t a threat to him. He’s super talented but he’s missing the 2 things that makes fighter greats all time greats, heart and competitiveness. I also thinks he needs new management as well. Again, talking and tweeting isn’t enough, he’s got step up the competition and this fight will do nothing to impress real boxing fans, we know better

Talented?? Heīs atheltic and has good coordination, thatīs it. Most African people have that. He lacks a warrior mentality, grit, guts, chin, power, excitement, which Latin boxers have.

Nothing but newbies and men with crushes on here. Probably all tank fans. A blind man could see Shakur was boxing with ONE hand. Morons.

27 years old next month and still fighting like a prospect. But his skin color gives him that automatic pass where nobody will b.itch or moan about it.

I agree.

Talk is cheap. It's only US hypejob fighters who are afforded the luxury of being able to tell us how great they are all the time.

Organise regular fights and show us, or shut up. It's boring.

Only the Afro fighters. American Latins are more humble in general.

Shakur definitely has the POTENTIAL to become a master boxer like Floyd but will NEVER become a PPV superstar because a) he's not a puncher b) he doesn't have an outrageous personality like Mayweather.

I think Shakur has the right mentality regarding the detractors. He's right not to worry too much about what keyboard warriors have to say. Fans are fickle. An exciting performance will shut a lot of people up. He needs to just focus on himself and let his fists do the talking.

He's had multiple boring ass performances wtf you talking about boy?

Name them.

If you are looking for cavemen style-fights then guys like Mayorga, Hatton etc are your favorite fighters.

Based off one fight?

Yes and his weak resume. Undeniable skills but he only talks of greatness but never challenges himself. Take this fight for instance, he says this the fight Top Rank offered him, he could have said no and made them find another opponent. There were other fights available against better competition.

Did you watch the Jeremia Nakathila fight?? Believe me, he has a lot more of those left in him. If a guy poses any threat, he's gonna get on his bike and run. Wait until he fights Tank!

Sugar Ray Leonard had less than 35 fights. I can count 10 fights where he got on his “bike and ran”. Those fights are on YouTube for the record.
Was he boring? Was he running away from threats?

Talk your talk Shakur! Make sure you call out Tank in the ring, and then follow through with it! Don't be like Oscar and Zepeda! Make it happen!

Call out Tank for what???? After fighting a C level fighter, he just needs to shut up just fight better comp
