Comments Thread For: Shakur Stevenson Aims To Be Bigger Than Floyd Mayweather Jr.

[Verus]

I hope Shakur has a successful career but wasn't Broner (Mr. Billions) supposed to be the next Mayweather?

If I was shakur, Id take the manny pacquiao approach. Take on the best, beat them decisively and leave no doubt behind, move up in weight and keep the party movin. Hes probably talking about the MONEY with floyd, but he should know that floyd will always have a problem when he goes to sleep because when he dies, he knows his money wont come with him and that his record suffers from being totally undisputable of how he beat and when he beat them. Remember floyd was an incredibly good match maker, thats def not the approach to take, but to make the most money out of it, of course. But to put off mega fights for 6 years should be totally avoided. When floyd career really mattered, it didnt shine how others who shined when they laced up the gloves. always alibies and always something to not fight someone. Best matchmaker, not fighter

After they've been drained and KO'd by somebody else.

Yeah

That worked for Manny.

Should've signed with Al Haymon. Now he's with Top Rank and we won't see him fight. ****** young kid didn't even acknowledge Claressa Shields 2 golds. Never gonna be like Floyd if you don't conduct your career accordingly.

Lol Floyd is the greatest of all time!!!!!!!!

Funny because Floyd also started his career with Arum.

I think he has the talent to be one of boxing's next Big Stars absolutely but it is going to take a lot of hard work and YEARS to get to that level though

[Lester Tutor]

"Aims" or "aspire to" are literally forms of motivation to become like your idols. Which new generations boxer doesn't want to aspire to making millions? The only logical or literal way to do so is to first be an artisan, Olympian, of this pugilistic sports. That's Rigo or Loma for you, but they aren't making money like Floyd...

Even Conor McGregor has exploited the way to sell and it's "showbizness." Conor has been carefully protected since the Rousey incident. He's basically acknowledged his parachute for his debut to lose in a big time upsetter and he might as well cash out on it.

met Shakur at the Ward-Kovalev fight. Real nice kid. wish him the best

At least he is not with TMT so his career has somewhat of a chance.

Right, because being with TMT absolutely ruined Badou Jack's career...
