    He's already moved up from 126 and he looks great at 130 he will look great at 135 as well.

    He’s already a 2-weight champ and just cruised past 2 champions at 130. 135 is a bigger challenge but the man’s got the skills to beat the very best

    I think a case can be made. These are the kinds of fights that get you there.

    You expect too much from him. The talent at 135 is a giant hill for him to climb now when he's this young. He's not Mayweather. He's going to need 3 or 4 more years before he becomes top material at lightweight plus with Andy Cruz and more coming to the scene, it's going to be a rough ride

    Cruz was a good am but we don't know if he will be good as a pro. Shakur is already a good pro he's elite.

    Hes got the talent. I just want to see him in with the better fighters up north.

    Shakur is more proven, but Cruz will climb quickly.

    I feel as if Stevenson just wont be as good when you take away the size advantage, but maybe him as the smaller man and a smaller target makes him better at the higher weights, who knows i guess

    I really rate Stevenson. But I said before this fight that if he won, he wouldn't be in my top 10 P4P. His accomplishments don't put him there yet in my opinion. I believe in ratings based on accomplishments not potential.

    But having said that I fully expect to see Stevenson as a universally regarded top 3 P4P fighter in the near future, he's that good in my opinion but he still needs to prove it.

    Even though i had him losing to Catterall, purely on what he has achieved Taylor should be above Stevenson

    Good list but Usyk should be ahead of Canelo. The rest is pretty similar to mine.

    I agree you need the achievements to go with the eye test but he’s just cruised past the 2 biggest and best challenges for him at 130 and barely took a punch whilst doing so. The kid is special
