The problem with Shakur is not that he "hits and doesn't get hit". The problem is that he is feather-fisted and no matter how MUCH he hits his opponents he will not Knock them out. If he had this same skills with Power, he would be a Mega Star.
Sure Stevenson is skillful, but Corvina can’t really be serious when he questions fans’ loud criticism about Stevenson’s performances. A great but boring skillset combined with Stevenson’s antagonistic personality is entertainment kryptonite. Accordingly, it’s no wonder Stevenson’s recent performances sent boxing fans racing to the exits. We live in a fast-paced digital age, and Stevenson’s dull performances are an awfully hard sell in a world offering a vast array of options competing for attention.

Well said. Boxing is a great sport and a must watch when it's exciting. When it is boring, it's sucks!
