Comments Thread For: Oscar De La Hoya indirectly contrasts Shakur Stevenson's and Gervonta Davis' star power

[boxingitis]

One of them is ducking. Both want an Old Loma, they will get no credit beating an old guy. They should face each other and stop being p_ssies. Same with Morrell and Benavidez.

How about Tank vs De Los Santos since they are both with PBC.

[Sosay]

So quit being scared and let him fight Zepeda. The volume alone will win him the fight, if he keeps the volume up (they rarely do when fighting a boxerBoxer).

[BrankoB]

Seems Shakur vs Tank is impossible to make. Even when Stevie has left Arum. Both are available to fight. And they're the same size. What a F-up sport we have.

I cannot imagine the problem is Tank. We can say what we like about his soft matchups, but he is the star and he sells fights. Shakur on the other hand thinks he is worth a lot more than he is. Oscar made it very clear "He’s not selling seats. He’s a great fighter. He’s demanding all this money, and fights are not being made.” Whether he wants to compare them directly or not, his feelings are clear - Tank rocks and Shakur sucks.

Oscar get points on this one for game recognizing game, Gervonta a dog!

Oscar is a punk âss MoFo! He has a condition to let Zepeda fight Shakur and the condition is Shakur enslaved himself to Golden Boy. This is the same anus that fought Arum to get out of Arum’s Gewish clutches

Oscar's on Turki's payroll now. If Turki says he want's the Shakur vs Zepeda fight, it shall be.

We’ll see if it goes down in February?

Oh wow look at the folks who are agreeing with this. Same folks who wanted Crawford to fight Ennis and didn't care about the non-lucrativeness of it. That's even worse when they're the same folks who say Bud ain't a PPV attraction. All of a sudden Tank the PPV king can't fight Shak because he don't bring no money to the table.

Shakur himself has said stated he knows Tank is the A side. Pretty sure he’s saying Tank deserves more money. The question is, will Tank agree to 60:40 split in his favor or will he demand 80:20
