Comments Thread For: At contract's end, Shakur Stevenson says Top Rank has stalled his career

[Loque-san]

Arum is “talking hot shyt.”

“I think Bob should just shut up because he's not really even really running his own company.”

My appreciation for Shakur has just skyrocketed (until his next fight).

[F l i c k e r]

this guy is the biggest fraud in boxing.

He talks more than actually fighting and has people eating out of the palm of his hand with it.

The ultimate sparring champion that has never lost a sparring match.

Turns down an undisputed, unified world championship match over a 25% split when he has never fought on PPV and can't sell tickets....

Has anyone else EVER gone from fighting 30-0 opponents for world championships

to fighting 12-1 opponents? Without having lost a fight, without an injury, and without a hiatus from boxing.

This guy is tjust a fraud, there's no other way to describe him.

Blatant fraudulent activity. At least Ryan got in there with someone real, Haney got in there with someone real, Lomachenko, Teofimo, even Kambosos, these guys at least risked it.

Shakur just talks and talks. Jfc.

TR has most likely lost money on Shakur with the high purses he's been awarded. We've seen this same story time and time again.

He's stalled his own career. I don't even think I'm going to watch his "fight" on Saturday. Maybe the Armenian can upset him so we don't have to listen to him talking about how great he is. He's not going to go down in history as much of anything at the rate he's going. I lost respect for him when he turned down a shot at undisputed. That was weak.

Loma is top rank. Why is shakur's ***** ass not calling him out instead of complaining Arum wont give him fights.

Shakur should have been ring side and in ring after every loma fight


why are fighters such ******* today and lazy. remember the "old days" guys like david haye showing up to the presser in the crowd for vitali chisora and starting a ruckus, i thought it was dumb at the time but he is driving up interest and demanding the big fights, these guys today are ***ing lazy and want easy fights for top pay when they dont sell chit for PPV

A very good fighter, in bad fights.

Plus Top Rank trying to make fights with any PBC Mayweather fighter is like trying to swim against the tide, with only one out come.

Someone should teach this marathon runner about burning bridges. Not only that but Eddie Hearn himself has said how top rank over pays Shakur. Cmon Shakur, you gotta chill

The path to Shakur Stevenson's Saturday night homecoming title defense against Artem Harutunyan at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, has been anything but a smooth one.

I like Shakur. That said, i don't think TR stalled his career. He's kept busy and has fought some very good fighters. He has progressed.
I would say that Mayweather will stifle his HOF capacities that he needs to continue. All mayweather will do is find sub par latino fighters to spoon feed him till he turns into a charlo or tank. If thats what makes him happy. Go for it.

Arum is cheap (maybe more to do with his ESPN budget) so it's not like he hasn't contributed to some of it. A couple Rigo-esque performances sure as hell didn't help though so there's some personal responsibility to take.

another delusional spoiled brat from america who thinks he is the center of the universe and everything should revolve around him. top rank that he slanders gave him joet (laughable) for his first title, then herring and valdez to become the lineal champion at his second weight and an easy path to a third weight title. that's stalling his career???!!! he obviously have no clue that another olympic medalist in his division had to wait until he was 36!!! for his FIRST title shot. berinchyk can say his career was stalled. shakur had it on easy mode.

top rank and bob aren't some good samaritans but they were good to shakur. he has no right to complain at all.
