Shakur Stevenson is the best boxer in the world

I was so happy that Shakur was able to be in a fight where you could finally see him for all his glory. The right dance partners allow Shakur to put in performances that capture the imagination of the world. The bigger the challenge, the better Shakur gets.

 

Does compubox matter?
Floyd was way ahead of loma an usyk using compubox stats, so obviously they are flawed, as Floyd is not at that level

I now concede that he's miles away from those two. He doesn't pass the eye test or Has the numbers

 

You're trolling, aren't you?

Zepeda struggled with Farmer. He should have lost the first fight. Zepeda is no where near the level of Beterbiev, not as a boxer or a pressure fighter.

A fighter of Beterbiev's caliber would break through Stevenson's guard and knock him out. Beterbiev only needs to land a quarter the amount of shots Zepeda landed to start making him run for his life.

And better than Bivol? Let me know when Stevenson has beaten 2 undisputed champions and a fighter that would eventually become the 2nd best fighter in a division above his.

 

Shakur might barely just make top 10 P4P and he does have some talent obviously.

But, over Usyk, Bivol, Inoue, Crawford? Seriously.

 

Anyone on the P4P list shouldn't take 30 minutes to stop an electrician. Shakur is decent, but he's full of himself, and his severe lack of power is going to get him into trouble at some point. Honestly, I think he loses to Abdullah Mason, and Schofield could have him in a world of trouble the way he annihilated Farmer. If he moves up, I think Brian Norman beats him as well.

If he had power, he would be right up there P4P, but honestly, at 140, I think, he gets walked through. Inoue is at his 5th weight and still knocking people out, there's no comparison, there's a dimension between them.

Crawford, Usyk, and Inoue are streets ahead of anyone else; then there's Bam, Bivol, and even Benavidez, who I'd put ahead of Shakur. A 116-112 UD win against a guy who was a 6 to 1 underdog doesn't do anything for me, especially not in the P4P rankings.

 

He is very talented and is the best of his contemporaries, like Haney, Garcia, Lopez , and Davis. Just like I saw them 5 years ago. But he is not yet the best fighter in the world, no matter how you measure it. He is not yet complete, but he’s starting to put it all together.

 

The same underdog many people here picked him to lose to and still after the fight no credit given and excuses made. Lmfao!

 

I picked Shakur by decision.
This is a public forum where fights are broken down in great detail by hardcore fans who watch closely so pointing out poor judging and refereeing is not excuse making it is something that is discussed in all sports by the fans. Just because your man won doesn't mean you need to stick your head in the sand.

 

I can give Shakur his dues, but does that mean crowning him the best boxer on the planet?
