Comments Thread For: Shakur Stevenson turns down 5-fight, $15M Top Rank deal: 'Arum's saving son Lomachenko from ass whooping'

“I know my worth” - the famous last words of countless delusional boxers right before their careers start heading toward the cliff.

Yeah man. Fishnets, Floyd and Crawford said same when they left TR and they all went over the……oops never mind.

petty stuff from shakur, i mean i presume loma is going to fight tank & earn a lot more money doing that than fighting shakur & the tank fight is a much better fight anyway, now if the tank fight cant be made for some reason then then shakur fight could be one to be made, no one wants to fight shakur & he is a part of that problem, hes going on and on about a loma fight when he had the haney fight in his hand and did ZERO then retired in a huff & gets all sensitive about his safety first style that leads to him HOME TOWN fans leaving his fights lol

Smash he should’ve had the Loma fight a long time ago. If not, no way anyone can justify Kambosos fight over Shakur unless you just want to see Loma win.

Shakur has a valid point.

if i was loma i would have picked a nice payday down in AUS for a title and a fight i know i can win easy then a tank fight for the cash and the glory if i can win it, any day of the week and twice on a sunday over a shakur fight

Of course. Any one would.

The point Shakur is making is Bob picks and chooses among his fighters in a way that often is detrimental to those he doesn’t pick. That is why Shakur is leaving.

Bob claimed Loma was robbed in the Haney fight. Loma was still the best LW. Ok cool. Yet instead of making Shakur v Loma he gives Loma the Kambosos option.

If you’re Shakur, how would you react to this?

Given the names TR has at FW, JLW, and LW, with his skillset, Shakur should already have a resume worthy of top 5 p4p status had Bob just matched the best with the best in real time.

bob doesnt give a crap really about loma and that decision v haney proved it

loma had the same issues with bob after the teo fight he had a melt down at the wide cards win that teo got

bob had no say he cant force loma to fight shakur, loma wanted to go the AUS route and that was it, i would say, its makes far more sense for loma and thats what happened

Only way Shakur puts Loma to sleep is if Loma is watching one of Shakur's matches...

I think differently. It keeps Loma as a champ, keeping him in control, knowing both Haney and Shakur are leaving.

I think Bob has far more control than you are suggesting.

Again, what would you do if you’re Shakur?

loma has no thought for shakur, im sure loma thinks and does that suits him best at this stage & if he lands the tank fight its a big win for him and its a unification fight now as well, big event

as for shakur, the dope had a fight for undisputed right in his hand v haney for 25% split, hes a goof ball and then fake retired, thats my thoughts on him at the moment, if loma cant get the tank fight for some reason i think a shakur fight as a unification as well would be a good option

[dannnnn]

It wouldn't be hard [to get the big fights] if had committed back to signing with Top Rank. The fights didn't happen because I didn't re-sign with Top Rank.

Right. So you know full well why you didn't get the fights you wanted and that's just how the business works.

Should have gambled on yourself when you had the opportunity and taken the 25% against Haney for all the belts. That was a hell of a deal because you win that and you can get any fight you want.

[MulaKO]

Imo , 15 million , 3 million a fight is very decent considering Shakur’s latest downfalls
Not sure anyone will offer him that , doesn’t sound like it
