    Bivol is technically better than Shakur his fights may sometimes be boring but Bivol does not run. Bivol takes on all comers and is a top P4P fighter also he is not a big mouth ugly scumbag like Shakur.

    Technically better, Based on what? He has no power, one dimensional and all of his fights end in decisions. You’re acting like Shakur isn’t actively trying to get the big fights himself?

    So you don’t like him cause he’s a big mouth ugly scumbag in your opinion? I see…

    Stevenson is more naturally talented than Bivol, MP.

    While I'm not overly fond of the kid or his approach in the ring, he flashes tools from time to time that other fighters simply don't possess.

    If you think that Bivol is one dimensional then you really don't know what you are watching lad. Bivol has KO'd and hurt plenty of his opponents he has power but he doesn't always use it. Shakur literally runs in his fights he has no power he does have good skill but he is not on the level of Bivol. Shakur has never had to adjust in a fight as he has never really been tested. We don't know that Shakur is pursuing big fights because all he does is run his mouth on social media.

    He maybe more talented but that doesn't mean he is technically better. He has never been put to the test as a pro. Bivol has great fundamentals that are tried and tested against the best in his division.

    Yeah I don't know about that. Until I see Shakur in with another elite fighter I just can't rate him above a guy like Bivol.

    Do you understand the definition of one dimensional? Just because he’s one dimensional doesn’t mean he isn’t skilled. He doesn’t throw hooks, uppercuts, barely combination or body punching. Bivol is 12-1 with 3 knockouts in title fights, that’s less than a 25 percent knockout percentage, who are you trying to fool, me or yourself? Have you even watched a Shakur fight? When does he run? He stands in front of you and counters you. He’s been pursuing big fights and everyone has been ducking him. Tell me one fight available to Shakur that he’s actively ducking, I’ll wait.

    I dont rate him higher than Bivol, but by skills he has more in his arsenal Shakur has beaten plenty of top contenders and champs/former.
    The Canelo win at 175 isn't as good as you think

    I disagree with Bivol being one dimensional I have seen him switch things up he did so in his last fight with Beterbiev. Bivol throws quick left uppercuts in combinations he did this a lot in the Canelo fight and against Zurdo he landed hooks to the head and body. I never said Shakur was ducking anybody but he sure as hell hasn't fought anyone near as good as who Bivol has been in with.
    I am not trying to fool anybody lad I am just telling you what I see.

    Stevenson has participated in fights that were considered boring despite being victories. I don't think anyone has said Bivol has been in a boring fight. Not boxing people, anyway.

    Stevenson certainly has skills but is not and will not be fan friendly due to his style.
