    Frank Martin showed how you can get off to an early lead vs Gervonta Davis. Shakur is way more skilled and actually knows how to change speeds and show different looks

    Gervonta can knock Shakur Stevenson out but I see him looking for that one shot all night and it never happening

    Nope!!! Frank is way busier than Shakur. Shakur will be in survival mode and lose UD or Ko

    Shakur is really good, but I don’t think he can run for 12 rounds.

    Nobody beats Tank easily
    He might win with the right game plan and a bit of luck but it won’t be easy.

    Shakur, Loma and Haney have good shots but Tank could beat them too

    Shakur would get brutally KO'd mid to late rounds.

    Shakur was spooked by Edwins power and had the activity of a geriatric senior citizen. Edwin is the most powerful fighter he's fought by a good amount too. He has little for Tank.

    Can Shakur take the power though is the question.

    **** no. Shakur is yet another featherfist who will look ok then get blasted cause he cannot deter Tank at all.

    If he can avoid getting caught then yeah, but Tank does have fight ending one punch power. I'd like to see it happen but don't see Tank ever agreeing to the fight.

    He'd be a technically frustrating fight for Tank I'm sure, but would he risk enough do anything significant on offense to win the fight?

    Would Shakur even throw a punch against Tank?

    Not after what we saw from his last fight. If Shakur was scared stiff of Edwin De Los Santos’ power he’ll be even more spooked by Tank and he’s not gonna slow him down with his punches. Tank’s power is a legit threat and it only takes one shot to end it.

    I certainly would not say easily (at all in fact). Tank has intangibles that you just can't account for. He can be outboxed we have seen that, but there always seems to be times in every fight that his crazy power, timing and instincts just seem to align for fight changing moments that are so rare in fighters. He is beatable at higher weights but here I would say no. Shakur would be on his bike the whole night and Tank pressures his opponents well enough to set up the motherload.

    Yeah, he’d win by 50 meters.

    Lol probably not because Tank is never getting in that ring with Stevenson.
