Top Rank about to do Stevenson like they did Crawford

Stevenson can still become a star by beating Warrington. And I'm sure Berchelts popularity will go up after he beats Valdez so its a win-win for Top Rank. Hey you never know it could set up a huge Stevenson-Berchelt fight down the line.

Stevenson don't need Valdez his eyes need to be on getting all the belts at 126

Nobody in America knows Warrington. Warrington to Stevenson is exactly like Ricky Burns to Crawford.

Well if there's nobody at 126 available for Stevenson he can always move up to 130 and chase the Valdez-Berchelt winner.

Valdez was allowed to duck Stevenson so Top Rank can set up their Mexican vs. Mexican card. Valdez will get killed by Berchelt. Shakur would've beat him easily. That should've been Stevenson's break out fight but instead they let Valdez duck him because Bob has more faith in building a Mexican fighter than he does a black fighter.

Bob will never allow Stevenson to fight Lomachenko. Just like he never allowed Crawford to fight Pacquiao. Top Rank doesn't build black stars with fights against their non-black A side fighters. It never happens.

Why sign these guys if you don't believe they can be stars and you not willing to invest in them to become stars? That **** is frustrating to me.

I doubt Stevenson is moving up to 135 anytime soon.

Valdez was available at 126 but he ducked him. The winner of Valdez vs Berchelt is being set up for Lomachenko. The winner of Frampton vs Herring is being set up for Lomachenko

It’s another conspiracy.

Maybe Arum is doing what’s best for two of his clients

At 22 years old Stevenson has plenty of time keep building his name and eventually get big fights. If he wants the big fights now and doesn't want to move up for Valdez, Berchelt, Herring or Lomachenko he can always ditch Bob Arum and head to PBC. There's plenty of 126 and 130 guys over there to fight.

Valdez was his big fight but Arum let Valdez duck him so he can set up his Mexican vs Mexican fight. Berchelt is gonna kill Valdez. Berchelt was getting beat by a guy who weighed in as a featherweight and had to be bumped up to 130 the day before the fight.

Stevenson will get the big fights when he leaves Top Rank. Just like Floyd. Or he'll end up like Crawford. Top Rank has a pattern they've been using for over 50 years. Why do you expect them to change it now?
