Comparing Shakur Stevenson To Boxing Legends: Is He Truly In The Top 10 Lightweights Of All Time?

Shakur Stevenson says the only way to move to 140 is if the division has invaded 135 pounds. He believes that he will not grow into a light weight section. Stevenson (24-0,11 Cos) states that his goal is to be “One of the best weights” In history.

Shakur against boxing legends

Shakur is unlikely to become one of the “best light weights” ever in the true sense because it lacks the comprehensive game. It is all the defense and the crime is very little.

If you follow boxing over the years, you will know that Stephenson will never be even in the top ten of the greatest light weights because it lacks the balance of crime/defense in his game. It takes more than defense to make the list of the best light weights in all ages.

The best light weight in all times

Bernil Whitaker
Henry Armstrong
Joe Jo
Benny Leonard
Carlos Ortz
Ike Williams
Tony Kanzoni
Julio Cesar Chavez
Roberto Duran
Edwin Rosario
Jose Luis Ramirez
Hector Camacho
Oscar de la Hoya
Floyd Mayweather Junior
Mane Bacoyao

Imagine what the light version of De La Hoya will do for Shekour if he fought in this era. You will not be beautiful. What about Mayweather or Bacoyao? When they were fighting in light weight, they were burning quickly and had excellent strength. You cannot compare Shakur with any of these fighters or others in the list.

“I don’t see myself not getting bigger to fight at 140 lbs. If I do so, it will be,” well, I did everything in 135. “I want to be one of the best light weights in all ages,” Shakur Stephenson told Nightcap.

Stephenson options reconcile

If Shakur wants to be one of the best light weights, why did William Zebida, Josh Badli, and Artem Harutian in his last three battles? These three are not anywhere near the “best” in the 135 -pound section. The fight against the talented light weights indicates that its goal is not the best in a real way. He is trying to take rear door To become the best. You can’t respect it.
