    Unbelievable. This dude keeps complaining that no one wants to fight him and keeps yapping his mouth. Yet when he gets the opportunity to get the big fights, he PULLS OUT. He ducked Subriel Matias for 3 million, he ducked Devin Haney for 8 million, and now he ducked Shakur for not only 15 million but also the opportunity to get back on Riyadh Season. I have never seen a fighter sabotage himself like this in the history of the sport.

    Remember y'all this is the same guy who wanted to get back on Turki's good side after disrespecting him, and when he gets the opportunity to get back on Riyadh Season. He straight-up backs out and wants to fight on a TikTok boxing promotion, YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS UP.

    Oh this is a bad look for Teo.

    His resume is solid as **** but ducking Matias, Haney and Shakur is a bad look.

    I'm baffled as to why any promotion wants to deal with these divas in and around the 135 to 147 categories based in America

    I remember threads on here suggesting we had a new 4 kings

    More like princesses

    I dont get him at all. He was rushed to a title fight, immediately unified with Loma. Fought Sendor Martin and Arnold Barboza Jr even tho they were dangerous spoilers.
    He has taken plenty of risks, but for some reason has also ducked plenty of other fights.

    What is actually wrong with these American fighters? Hardly any of them seem to actually want to fight.

    Because he knew that he would either get the benefit of doubt in the decision or would be able to weather or grit out decisions but he wouldn't have either if he fought any of those 3 especially Shakur because Teo has shown immense struggles with movers.

    He’s an idiot. Also lost a lot of respect from millions of fans after not giving Loma a rematch KNOWING Loma wasn’t 100% for their fight.

    Speaking of Teo being an idiot/clown etc, I find it incredible how everyone seemed to just gloss over the fact that he sent bananas to Keyshawn Davis's hotel room before his fight with Berinchyk. Davis actually thought Berinchyk's team had done it, before Teo revealed it was him in that stupid video he made, of him watching the press conference, laughing and eating bananas. Guy's an absolute scumbag. Boxing is a weird sport... it amazes how much you can get away with, and no one seems to care, whereas in other sports, you get caught doing something like that, there is extremely serious repercussions, and rightly so.

    Teo doesn't need to look in the rear view mirror for his next fight he's already beaten Lomachenko and Taylor who have accomplished more than Stevenson. Fighting Shakur is a step back, Teo needs to go up to welterweight and beat Barrios or Rolly for those world titles and earn his spots in the top 5 pfp

    Beating a 46 year old Pacquiao would also look more impressive on his resume than Shakur Stevenson !!!
