Who can beat Shakur at 140?

Keshyawn Davis.

 

nobody. he should shoot straight for a belt or big fight at 147.

 

Na, I don't think Davis does. Nobody beats him at 140; he's a cut above everyone at 140. I'm in a precarious position where I dislike Shakur immensely, his horrible, boring style, his arrogant persona, his social media presence; I don't know any redeeming quality he has. However, I've just looked at the rankings between lightweight and welterweight; there's really no one who can beat him. I wouldn't pick anyone against him now. Does that mean he's close to Inoue, Usyk, or Bivol? No, I still wouldn't say so.

He's probably closer to them, but there's still an awfully long way to go. I might be letting personal bias get in the way here, and it might get to a point where it's undeniable, but for me, he still needs to completely clean out a division like Usyk at CW or Inoue at 122. Or he needs to have an undeniable P4P fighter on his resume, as Bivol does with Beterbiev. In Shakur's defense, I'm not sure who would even fit this bill, and he would clear out all of these divisions, too.

A phenomenal talent, but Christ, what a boring fighter, such a shame we have another once in a generation talent who has no marketability, is not likeable, and has no ability to crossover and interest casual fans. Luckily, though, one of the few fighters in the sport who is much more unlikeable is Connor Eggs B-Sample Bennedict, who is P4P arguably the biggest helmet the sport has produced in my lifetime, so I would love to see Shakur do to Benn what he did to Teo, which he 100% would.

 

Nobody imo. But Garry and Keyshawn have the best chances.

 

Its an unpleasant surprise to the boxing world.This kid is good as advertised.Boring, yes.But that was teo just couldn’t do anything.Steve was boxing him easily all rounds.I hate the outcome but Steve style is dreadful but effective.

 

Keyshawn has the best shot but Shakur does his magic trick against him and wins in my opinion

 

They've started pretending to be best friends so that they have an excuse to avoid eachother.

 

For now but i see them fighting when the right money is offered.Start in house beefing etc.Sell the fight.Done!

 

Nobody at 140 beats Shakur

 

I hope you're right but I think neither of them want the smoke and it's all about protecting their 0's.

 

yes...but haney will totally duck the incoming asswhup.

 

man, wtf can Shakur do to get fans? He was on the front foot as the aggressor the entire fight, and Teo couldn’t lay a glove on him. Yeah, he’s a points fighter, but he didn’t run or spoil. He very cleanly, clinically, delivered a PhD thesis on the sweet science tonight. Captured in full 4k, perfect quality, for history.

 

It will happen down the line but they will milk it..give it 2 more years.
