Comments Thread For: Shakur Stevenson Wants First Title Shot To Be Against Warrington

What are people on?

I think Stevenson can win. He’s harder to hit and way more elusive than both Frampton and Selby.

Warrington needs to be set to throw his punches and no way Shakur would allow him to get off 5 punch combos everytime!

Give the kid a tough contender, a durable guy who brings pressure and see how rounds 9-12 treats him!

By early 2020 he should be ready maybe even late 2019

selby used to be an elusive fighter. I guess the inactivity caught up to him

I don’t see how the young kid can beat Warrington.

I don't see anything special about Shakur. Maybe he will dazzle as he grows later you never know.

I agree. He has good fundamental skills that's attributed to his amatuer experience, but I dont really see him being too great in the pro ranks..

looking at his body I think his frame is of a 140 fighter and I don't see him being that durable at that weight against what's currently out there.

I'd favor Warrington. Not even sure how Valdez will look after coming back from a broken jaw. Dude already took a lot of punishment as it was. Warrington's toughest challenges will be GRJ and LSC, both who I would favor over him. But he is live against both of them.

True about Valdez. You have to wonder why they changed his opponent from Gago to Tommasone. That does have me worrisome especially since Valdez one of my favorite featherweights

One thing people need to learn is not to go into a fight with Warrington thinking it's going to be a soft touch and an easy title. Frampton said he expected a hard fight but Warrington is even better than he thought.

Warrington is no walk in the park. Looks like he has a granite chin & extremely high work rate. He can box pretty well too, can stick to a game plan and seems that his power is better than his record suggests, according to his opponents.

Not saying he's an elite fighter or anything, but you better get some experienced and be extremely well prepared if you're going into a fight with him.

I think Warrington gives anyone in the division a tough night, win or lose.

Well said. Warrington is one of the most improved fighters in boxing. You better be 100% mentally and physically prepared for him. Stevenson may think he has the skills to win, but he's going to need more than that. But Top Rank is as good as it is in building up prospects. They won't throw in Stevenson unless they feel like he is ready for someone of Warrington's caliber. Will need far better opponents this year to prepare him for that juggernaut.

Warrington walks through Shakur at this point, maybe in a year or two it will be different but right now Warrington is a bad pick for a guy with 9 fights, regardless of how good he's gonna be.

Warrington gets up for his fights, I thought he'd lose to Frampton till I saw him at the weigh in, he's a DOG as Breadman would put it, and Shakur is too green for that fight right now.

[Earl-Hickey]

I'd back Stevenson

I don't think Warrington is special at all and I think Shakur is talented enough to learn on the job against him.

Warringtom has improved vastly. The first 4 rounds v frampton he swarmed him and didnt let up, he kept the same tempo up all night and he wont be an easy fight for anyone. And thats coming from someone only a year ago who didnt rate him at all . How wrong i was.
