The P4P shakur talent says he wants to fight with the greats and that he will destroy them all. He hasn't fought any of them yet.. People say he's great while Teo already fought for 3 world class fighters... Shakur hasn't done anything yet at 135...
It's true Teo does have a far better resume at the same age, I'd even go as far to say he's fought 4 world class fighters in Loma Kambo JT and Commey. To beat Commey for the world title in his 15th fight they way he did deserves huge respect. & Shakur has only fought 1 world class fighter in Valdez but he may have better longevity in boxing where Teo will likely peak a lot earlier and thus retire sooner having fought everyone/nearly everyone before 30.
He's still has to prove his potential that's true and Teo has achieved a lot for one so young but Teo isn't the norm. Shone bright and now retired at 25 lol. Stevenson will no doubt step up in due time, but the more he talks about being great the more pressure will be applied by the fans for him to do so. He needs to now prove he is as good as he says he is and the longer he doesn't the more criticism will come his way.
