    Stevenson will likely move up to LW in the near future, and beating the 2nd best LW in the world (At least according to TBRB) would make a statement. Who wins?

    Teo is no Valdez. He's a legit threat, he beat Loma legitimately on points. If Teo is on point it's a 50/50.

    Lopez had some trouble with Lomachenko's boxing ability and Kambosos's hand-speed, and Shakur has both in spades.

    I think Stevenson can absolutely befuddle Lopez.

    Stevenson would be favored in every potential match except maybe Loma, which would have nearly even odds.

    Yeah it’s possible but Teo has a much better arsenal than Valdez who basically only has a left hook.

    Weight bully vs. weight bully

    Lopez got a gift against one armed significantly smaller Loma (Lopez did not win rounds 2 and 6).

    I really question the majority of "Boxing fans" (more like fans of the promotional hype) basic understanding of boxing as they can't comprehend that size/weight can easily overshadow boxing skills.

    Lopez is a monstrously huge 135lber and hits ****ing hard for the weight. This is a guy who looks like he could be a welter+. Shakur, like Lopez is fighting smaller guys for a reason : they will be exposed when they fight guys their own size. If Lopez lands clean punches on Shakurs 12 yo chin I can guarantee he will go down and not get up

    Teo hits like a truck with both hands, is crazy explosive and athletic, and is very fast and skillful and he isn't a much smaller Valdez. I can't stand him but I'm not an idiot and even though he lost fair and square to Kambosos he clearly underestimated him. He came out of the blocks way too hyper and subsequently fought a really dumb fight, and the early KD played a big part in that too because that embarrassment only exacerbated everything, whereas, Kambosos was like a man possessed and fought the fight of his life.

    Claims of fighters being "weight bullies" have always baffled me.

    Counterpunchers that don't pressure fight like Teofimo Lopez, Ryan Garcia, George Kambosos and Oscar Valdez have nothing for Stevenson. It's a style that Shakur is good at dissecting
