    Hey, fair enough to Shakur and his team if it happens. Truthfully, I don´t think they would duck anyone. However TR usually doesn´t like to rush their new champions.
    Shakur will most likely take a few stay busy defences. Then step up against Frampton or maybe even Warrington.

    Have you not seen the level of competition he’s been facing bar his last fight?

    I highly doubt he’s shitting himself from a guy with a horse mouth.

    What specifically has Warrington done or said that makes you think he wants no part of Stevenson?

    Frampton is an easy fight for Shakur stylistically. He'd box his head off, there's just levels to boxing and Shakur would handle any version of Frampton. As for Warrington, him and LSC would definitely give Shakur the most challenges just from their pressure and output. I hope the Warrington fight is next and Warrington doesn't duck! I don't think he wants any part of Shakur.

    Ye, he recently told him to get a belt & he'd be more than happy to fight him.. he wants the unification fights.. that's his stated aim.. he's reiterated it many times.. keep up junior.. both Frampton & Warrington would work that kid over like a rented mule.. who's he beat?

    Well, he got a belt, let's see if he fights him. Me thinks he don't want any part of Shakur.

    Because the kid is special and it will take a generational talent to beat him.

    Conjecture. He ISN'T proven yet! The guy he just beat isn't really a known quantity. He may be the goods but as of now it's just a MAY be..

    He passes my eye test easily, and we all know that I'm great at assessing talent.

    Stevenson gets battered on the inside.

    Josh has fairly quick feet and hits harder than you think.

    Needs a strong referee that stops Stevenson doing his best Laurence okolie impression and stinking out elland rd.

    Id imagine if he gets the Warrington fight and wins, he'll be moving up to 130 straight after.

    Hes a big young kid and there more good, easy to make fights up at 130.

    Valdez, Frampton, Herring, Berchelt are all affiliated with TR.

    Lomachenko could well be moving back down soon.

    Warrington has become a real top quality fighter - I'd be wary of backing against him at this time.

    Yes, that's how I see it going. Josh has proved me wrong quite a few times already but I think this might be a bridge too far for him, particularly given his performance against Galahad. He will certainly make Stevenson work for it though

    Stevenson the clear favourite based on styles but Warrington has grit and fitness

    Josh will accept the gauntlet Stevenson laid down within the next week or two.
    Let's see if Stevenson keeps his word,.
    If you think that Josh would duck shakur, you honestly don't know what your talking about. He is looking to unify and josh will see this as his opportunity.
    If shakur comes to elland rd, it will be calzaghe-lacy or froch-bute, allover once again.
