Comments Thread For: As long as he continues chasing greatness, Shakur Stevenson can?t be blamed for wanting Conor Benn

[BoxingUpdates]

If you?d had 20 guesses about who Shakur Stevenson would call out after his dominant win over Teofimo Lopez, you wouldn?t have come close, writes Ryan ********

Lopez found out that there's levesl to this sport. Easy work. Skills paid the bills

Why isn't he calling out Devin Haney? If he is chasing Greatness. Devin has good jab and probably longer reach.

Let him face a Southpaw who has a long jab and if he beats that then I'll be impress or give De Los Santos a Rematch(southpaw).

He is going for Brawlers so he can jab and step back for 12 rounds.

Gary Antuanne Russell or Pitbull Cruz! Choose one! I doubt Shakur wants to go back to 135, but I could see Tank or Abdullah moving to 140 for the bag! Weight draining Conor Benn is not a good look!

As long as Shakur keeps winning, there will be a segment of posters that will only focus on who he didn’t fight as a way to lessen him relative to a boxer they like. We saw this Sunday and today.

The other thing they will do is lower the opponent after Shakur beats them. Like we saw this weekend, suddenly in the eyes of some Teo was no good.

We’ve seen this play out before.

Truer words have truly never been spoken.

We have seen this play out many times before. Shakur is at the apex of his prime. Tank wanted none of him. I’d like to see him clear out 135 and then reign at 140 for 10 fights at least.
Shakur beats up all the title holders at 147 so perhaps that’s the play.

Let him prove his eliteness vs De Los Santos or Haney.

Never once did Teofimo try to get his lead foot outside of Shakurs. Never once. Lack of recourse, beat before the bell.

Here come the goalposts movers.

We've seen this countless times.

They always do it

Same cycle over & over

That's what the great do. That's for all boxers, not just Shakur.
Usyk, Inuoe, Bam they are supposed to fight the best available.

I don't see anyone at 135 or 140 beating Shakur.
