Comments Thread For: Arum: Shakur Stevenson is Gonna Be a 'Major, Major Star'

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

All it took was that first meeting with Shakur Stevenson a couple months ago to convince Bob Arum that Stevenson has star qualities most boxers don't possess. Intrigued by the Olympic silver medalist's engaging personality as much as his talent, the legendary promoter predicts huge things for the skillful southpaw from Newark, New Jersey. The 19-year-old Stevenson will make his pro debut as part of a four-fight pay-per-view show April 22 in Carson, California.

Colan won't cry like a little b***h like Stevenson after someone whoops his ass though.

Jersey stand up! My guess is TR will make a huge star out of the winner of Stevenson v Conlan down the road.

Do you know EITHER of these guys to make such a statement? Or are you just picking sides already? based on

No he won't, he will be a great fighter but not major star, not on ppv cards, he should be on network television fighting for the masses, a kid that young with that look and boyish charm, he should be on network tv reeling in young girls being a heartthrob whilst commanding respect of hardcores

But top rank don't do network television

They barely do cable

So how will he become a major star when he's starting out on ppv, and fighting on hbo cards
Or ****, unimas

Good luck to Shakur & Arum, but I don't see it anytime soon. Who's a major star who's that lil? The list probably starts & ends with Oscar. Floyd & Manny didn't become major stars til they got bigger. And sh^t you could probably argue Oscar didn't even become a major star til he was at 147 cuz he didn't sell a 1M PPV's til the fight with Tito although one could also argue that PPV was still in its infancy back then + it was during the time when HW's ruled so he was killing it way before he sold 1M PPV's.

Also Shakur's upper lip looks like a weird mustache in most of his pics & its really starting to freak me the f#ck out.

Also also Shakur smiles like a 8 year old after he farts.

Hopefully Andre Ward will make sure that Bob Arum doesn't rob the kid!
