    Why is Shakur Stevenson, who has been very carefully matched against mostly smaller men and has not defeated any top opposition, ranked in the top 10 P4P by ESPN?

    Do you rate him in the top ten? Devin Haney is younger, yet has already fought some top opposition and is currently scheduled to face a very good opponent in Prograis, who is his own size. Gervonta Davis, although he too has not faced any top opposition, at least wins his fights impressively.

    Is Haney a top 10 for ESPN ?

    here's a better question. Who cares about ESPN p4p ratings?

    I guess because they promote him. I'm just glad I recorded that mess so I could fast-forward starting with the first round and not waste too much of my life watching it. How does Stevenson think people are going to pay to see him pose all night? Now he will price himself out of any real fights

    He's beaten no one of note. How is that even P4P talk?

    No one of note? The unified champ Valdez is no one of note? **** off clown. The world champ who knocked out Carl Frampton is no one of note huh.

    Probably not, though it's a **** poor collection of would-be we have right now. That was one of, if not the worst Championship "fight" since Wlad/Fury. Can you call them great if they look slick but don't ever punch anybody? I don't do lists much, but I got Navarrete over Stevenson in any list one could make except the P4P biggest wuss list.

    ESPN is so hard on for an American fighter to proclaim the top P4P spot that they overhype these kids like they’re something special only to be disappointed in the end. Their commentary was awful last night as was kriegals dick sucking scorecard. It was a truly pathetic happening.
