Comments Thread For: Is Bob Arum ready to lose soon-to-be free agent Shakur Stevenson?

If he actually wants to fight Davis, he probably needs to let Harutunyan knock him down a few times... If Davis even watches the match.

are u just copy & paste comments from thread to thread lol

Hey, why waste my time, when my point remains the same, lol.

Stevenson needs to be wise this weekend. Casuals call him a runner. It's called the art of boxing, not the art of knockout. Stevenson is a great talent and he wins in different ways. I hope he doesn't try to win in a way that only pleases casual boxing fans. I hope he tries to win in a fashion that the fight dictates.

Stevenson is stating that his star is rising slowly. The fact of the matter is he really doesn't have that many fights under his belt. He's not White, so he won't be a star overnight. He doesn't have the complexion for the protection. He is finally on the cusp of landing the big fights. Hopefully, he'll makes the most of these matchups.

Floyd nor, nor Canelo, nor Tank became household names overnight.

Sweet Pea Whitaker would stand right in the pocket and guys couldn't hit him. Floyd did the same. That is not what Shakur is doing. What he did in his last fight was running. I was embarrassed for him. I won't be watching him this weekend.

A tricky one, or not, to accuse Arum. Then again, Crawford left Top Rank and got the big Spence fight and now is a real superstar.

Oscar, Floyd, Cotto and Mikey Garcia ALL left that scumbag and made way more money than they could have with Bob the Gew!

You know who else “ran” in a fight? The great Sugar Ray in his rematch with Duran. He ran the whole fight.

Arum thought Floyd was making a mistake leaving Top Rank to pursue a fight with De La Hoya at 154, instead of fighting Margarito! Arum thought Crawford vs. Spence wouldn’t sell, too expensive! He was wrong both times! Arum admitted killing the Crawford vs. Pacquiao figh, because he didn’t want Pacquiao to get hurt, and that hurt Bud’s career! That speaks volumes!!!

Bob is the ultimate cckblck for any fights that involve risk... He is a greedy, self centered prck who could not give two shiats what the fans want, or for the legacy of fighters... Preferring to talk a fighter into losing their most precious years to dollars which are soon gone.

King steals money from fighters, Bob steals their legacy, both are thiefs. Yes, anyone who left either of these sycophants did themselves a favor. Fighters would do even better if they followed the lead of another scbag thief: The Paul Brothers... Get out there, promote yourself, get on social media, pull publicity stunts... Get fans interested and you will not need scmbag promoters!

Always been that way... and with King as well. In the seventies King destroyed the financial health of virtually every fighter he ever promoted... He stole most of what they had... Holmes was the exception, he got away. King basically destroyed the career of Tim Witherspoon, who could have been one of the great ones to many of us.

Holmes, by getting away to this day is a financial success.

The Bobfather is too old to be worrying about whether a boxer becomes a free agent. He knows that boxers come and go. Top Rank will survive without Shakur.

He doesn’t know how to advertise black boxers anyway so.
