Comments Thread For: 'Bam' or Shakur ? who?s the next American pound-for-pound king?

Silk Smooth Shakur easy because he'll soon be beating up welterweights which is a glamor division

dwarf divisions are overlooked and underrated

We see it in real time right now. Naoya is better than once a year oleksandr doing Dubois and Deontay back to back

yet oleksandr is usually ranked ahead

need to be at least a lightweight to capture western attention

Jesse is a 115 fighter it remains to be seen if he can featherweight 126

Couldn't have said it better myself. Midgets will never be that popular in Murica.

That being said the next P4P king will be Abdullah Mason

Love Bam. He's my favourite fighter at the moment but Stevenson has a potential to add more belt in other weight classes in his resume than Bam and that, ultimately, will be the deciding factor of who becomes number 1 in the future.

why like Abdullah so much

Jesse is 118 fighting at 115

Naoya is 137 fighting at 122

how much muscle can Jesse add onto his 5 ft 4 frame for moving up to new divisions

Bam and it's not even close.

Shakira has a bunch of gimmes on his resume. Zepeda is a decent name i guess and teofimo too but cmon who gave him a chance to win? The guy lost to kambosos, a gift against Martin so the blueprint was already there. Shakira can make a case at 147 but it's dead there.

Bam has a shot with all the tough fighters around his division.

. If we’re going to minimize shakur beating teo, Zepeda and Valdez, please explain the better opposition that bam has beaten and what other fighters he can face in his baby weight divisions and what would be better.

There's always a black and a latino. There's never only one. They'll both be top

[felinoboxing]

And what about Jaron Ennis and Vergil Ortiz? That doesn't matter; the next pound-for-pound number ones won't be American. The king will come from Cuba.

Stevenson is up there. Just tookover the "Takeover", lol, and added another trophy to his list. He and BAM are so dominent and deserve high spots. I enjoyed seeing BAM beat the crap out of the arrogant Martinez. With the great Crawford gone, at some point Inoue and Usyk will have to age out and that will leave room at the top.

I think it will all depend on their competition, if one of them slips a bit on fiercer competion, an opponent's size, or simply loses, then their direction on the PFP ladder could shift. If I had to guess who will lose first on their ascention, maybe BAM due to Stevenson's defence being a more prominent and that could lend to his longevity as well.

Stevenson has kinda lock down boxing for now. His timing, space, step back, high guard blocking, and he does decent shoulder roll. It's pretty hard to catch him and if you do, then he will return the favor with a 3-4 punch combination. I know Bam does a good job with angles, movement, and taking his time while slowly beating you down. I think Stevenson is probably the better fighter from the eye test. I would like to see how good he would be at welterweight yet I want to see him conquer 140 first. I don't think he can be successful at 154 though. Eventually those bigger guys would start to walk through someone who started at 125.
