Comments Thread For: Arum Rules Out Shakur Stevenson vs. Michael Conlan in Future

[Shadoww702]

He's not horrible but I don't see greatness. I am trying to like the guy but he seems more like a C+ to B guy. Just don't know if he will ever be elite.

I’m just saying guys get better. Like Canelo who looked like dog sht back in the day. And others get better with proper trainers like Kovalov and Maidana. Look at Maidana before Garcia and then after

In fairness Loma vs Garcia is a whole other thing cuz Mikey isn't with TR. Bob is pretty notorious for sucking at working with other promoters/networks to make big fights.

Shakur & Conlan are both with TR. He's usually got a good history of matching his guys vs other guys who are with him. Thats why Oscar, Manny & Cotto got so big cuz Bob was on both sides of some of their crossroads/big fights. If Manny was in Bud's position today he'd never have gotten as big as he got when Bob could make all those good fights he made for Manny.

That’s why I laugh at Loma fans when they say Mikey Is ducking.... Bob “Double Dip” Arum 99% does only in-house fights where he collects 25-50%++ from each boxer. And I say the same thing about Crawford

He fights Nikitin next. Should be a good grudge match. It will be interesting when Conlan steps up the competition.

Shakur DESTROYS Conlan! Bob knows it, he is trying to save Conlan the embarrassment so he can build him up for the Irish fans to come out and watch him

Very few are ever elite. I agree with your assessment of he’s a C+ B- fighter. Let’s see how he does with TR putting $$$ on him. Hopefully he uses that extra cash for proper training team.

I’m surprised Nitkin is next??? Makes you wonder what they see behind the scenes? Could still of milked him for a few years on St. Paddy’s Day...

I was at Nikitin's last fight on the same card as Conlan. He won a tough 6 round decision and when he walked past us he looked beaten up pretty good. The guy he fought had previously lost every round of an 8 rounder to Shakur Stevenson. I think Conlan's people see weakness based on that.

You can make all the goofy jokes you want about his Incident in Miami which he deserves because it was very ****** on his part no doubt about that.

Make no mistake about it Stevenson though, he is a special talent in a boxing ring. They just need to make sure that he is only fighting IN a ring and against MEN ONLY!
