Comments Thread For: Shakur Stevenson says 'young black guys' are held to a different standard when it comes to entertaining in the ring

[thack]

Never saw SRL in a boring fight and this kid thinks he's special , so he is to be judged as so. Sounds more like one of those with a chip on his shoulder ....he should try and make that work for him , he's becoming boring outside the ring too!

Got bored just with Shakur issuing this insecure, rather silly statement. Funny thing is some of the folks exiting the arena on his most recent stinker...WERE BLACK !

Lmao.

if boring is your thing then be the best u can be, be the most boring guy to ever lace them up & be happy with it, afterall would ole bob arum offer u a contract for 3 mil a fight if u were just a boring fighter? think about it, what other boring ass fighter gets offered very nice contracts like that

Someone in here mentioned Chris Byrd. Chris Byrd was more exciting the shakur.
and I don’t remember shakur fans being excited about Rico fight, or Lara fights.

First off, if you choose to fight a boring style, running around and not engaging, you're going to get criticized, race doesn't matter, but when you take a good look at things, it's mostly American Black fighters who decide to fight that way, so yeah, people are going to get on you when you talk a lot of sh** and don't back it up. I won't even mention that a ton of those fighters fight in that certain style and avoid fighting the best, and that transcends all races in this day and age but if you avoid the best and fight in that style, you're going to get the majority of that criticism.

I wish this dude would stop crying and sign the contract and fight Zepeda, but Stevenson is doing what Stevenson does and continues to dodge which is the reason he gets so much crap....

shak should play up to all of this by first of all changing his fight night announce name to Shakur 'Snoozer' Stevensonnnnnn

he might get the crowd laughing at least

GTFOOH with the race baiting nonsense. Loma compelled multiple opponents to quit to avoid the inevitable humiliation of an imminent KO. Loma was not averse to engage in exchanges. In fact he welcomed it. On the other hand. Shak hasn’t forced an opponent to quit but he compels the crowd to quit watching to avoid the humiliation of having to sit through a snooze fest in its entirety. Bring on Zepeda to show what Shak is made of. It’s going to be the Tour De France. Shak has some serious talent but he lacks pop and he lack’s a fighter’s mentality of engaging.

I disagree w Chris Byrd being a boring fighter. Now that cat didn’t avoid any fighter and he was willing to stay in the pocket and make his opponent miss and pay.

Even Broner’s safer style after his loss to Maidana is more entertaining than Shakur….

YOU ARE BORING!!!!! Extremely talented but you’re absolutely ****ing boring.

When in doubt, play the race card. I'm sure anyone who's been watching boxing long enough to see the careers of Roy, Toney, Floyd, Hopkins, Mosley, Tarver, Winky, Judah, Forrest, Quartey, Byrd, Rahman, Brewster, etc, are thrilled to see a guy with zero accomplishments victimize himself based on the color of his skin...and spitting in the faces of the fighters I mentioned in the process.
