Shakur Stevenson is the best boxer in the world

Thanks and well said

Shakur is slick and American and therefore when he hits gloves and arms they're scoring punches but when his opponents do they're not and it's further proof of his defensive genius.

Biviol gets hit less than him but barely anyone even noticed how good defensively he is, let alone credited him for it or deem him a defensive genius, Shakur gets the credit for his being so from the outset though

He can also receive way more credit for beating C levels and the same opponents or exact same level of opposition or worse as non-American fighters and have very close or competitive tough affairs described as ''masterful performances'' and ''shutouts'' and scored as such by his three home judges

He doesn't need to actually prove himself vs the elite for the ''but you're overrating your favs, non-Americans, or fighters from the former Soviet union'' crowd or fight in his opponent's backyards on a deck stacked against him or beat world champs and top contenders bigger, much or way bigger than him in divisions he's small or tiny for to warrant being hailed as the best, a P4P great or skyrocketed up the P4P rankings. It's just handed to him on a silver platter

It is what it is

 

Another example of the glaring double standards

Regarding Loma ''ducking'' Shakur

Loma has fought GRJ in the US with a US ref and 3 US judges

Teofimo in the US with a US ref and 3 US judges

Haney in the US with a home ref and 3 US judges

He also fought Pedraza, Martinez, Sosa, Ortiz in the US with a home ref and three home judges

And a Ukrainian fighting a Mexican (Salido) in Texas is tantamount to a home match for the Mexican. Hence why Salido was allowed to get away with blue murder and well over 50 low blows without so much as a hard warning, let alone pts deducted or being DQ'd which he 100% should've

All bar 2 of those were bigger, much bigger, or way bigger than him

And he's already been robbed x 2 over in the US and screwed over by judges a bunch of times

One of the three home judges scored the GRJ fight a draw. Loma won 10 rounds and beat the crap out of GRJ

One of the three home judges scored the Teofimo fight 119-109 to Teofimo despite Loma clearly sweeping most of the rounds in the 2nd half of the fight

One of the judges (granted Nakatani is obviously not from the US) gave Nakatani 2 rounds vs Loma despite the fight being a one-sided brutal massacre and Nakatani not winning a single second of the fight

He's fought Teofimo and Haney, both of whom a lot or way bigger than him in their backyards with home refs and three home judges, and would've fought Twink over there under the same conditions long ago had Twink not shamelessly ducked him for like 7 years and only shown any interest in fighting him, as Loma predicted he would long ago, when Loma was old and past his prime

So that's two of the ''Four Kings'' he's fought and it would be three had Twink not ducked like crazy despite the deck being heavily stacked in his favour, both of whom much bigger than him in what would be bare minimum Loma's 6th weight class had he turned pro at the same ages they all did, not his 1st weight class like 135 is for Teofimo and Haney or 2nd or 3rd as it is for the others

But none of the other ''Four Kings'' or rather Five have fought each other sans Ryan vs Twink and Haney and that ''King'' Ryan just lost to bum Rolly

Despite the fact they're all bigger, much or way bigger than Loma, all are or were roughly the same size as each other or much closer in size to each other than he is, and would all be fighting each other on a much more even playing field than he was/would be vs them in their own country with home refs and home judges, not in a foreigner's country on a heavily stacked deck

Loma got to fight all the bigger, much or way bigger killers in their backyards/countries on a heavily stacked deck where he has already been robbed of a huge part of his legacy twice and been screwed over by their thieving judges many times, but they don't have to fight each other on a even playing field in their 1st, 2nd or 3rd weight class where the chances of them getting robbed are far less

And not only that Loma is supposed to return to the scene of the crime against their best not only once but at least twice (vs Twink and Shakur) when old and well past his prime where he would likely need a KO to come away with a SD loss so they can rob him again. Are you kidding me?

Hey, Loma come over here and let us rob you of a huge part of your legacy again and play by a set of rules we don't expect our boys to ever play by and never will once in their entire careers. The hell is wrong with some of you?

So Loma has done something x 7, fighting his US opponents in the US with a stacked deck of home ref and three home judges, that none of them have ever done once in their career or ever will for world title fights

In fact, name me one current American fighter who has fought a single world title fight in their foreign opponent's country with a home ref and three home judges, let alone one who has done it six times?

This should be fun
