Shakur Stevenson is the best boxer in the world

So you think Shakur is the best fighter in the world because he beat Zepeda?

 

One of the best for sure, it would be a real shame not to see him against Gervonta Davis.

 

After Crawford and Usyk retire Bivol currently has the best case for pfp number 1. Then Inoway very very close at 2. But yeah Stevenson and Ennis because of their youth are going to be climbing up the list rapidly. Stevenson is the last man standing basically after Ryan, Devin, Tank, Teofimo all kind of slipped in their own way.

 

Based on beating Zepeda?

Zepeda struggled with an old Farmer

Stevensons resume is dog ****

 

If only more Americans passed on NFL and basketball like Stevenson! But unfortunately all the biggest talent is still getting lost in these other places.

 

Most naturally gifted? Arguably yes. He's fast & fluid, smart, has great shot selection, and is highly elusive.

But best boxer on the planet? Although I was impressed with his showing against Zepeda, it's way too premature to say he's best. As other's have noted Zepeda doesn't have as many facets to his game and is a bit one-dimensional, and isn't the biggest puncher. Not a fan of triangle theories but Zepeda|Farmer|Schofield does raise some questions on how hard Zepeda hits.

How will Shakur deal with a heavy handed hard hitter that connects like that Zepeda jab that clearly wobbled him, but with a hook or cross?
How does he deal with a fighter with better shot selection and timing that can nullify his shoulder-roll defence?

He showed plenty against Zepeda, but still plenty more questions to be answered!

 

He def is imo. If he had the power he will be top 3 all time.

 

Look at the prediction thread a year ago. Makes for VERY FUNNY READING lol
