Tim Bradley lectured Shakur Stevenson and Gervonta Davis on social media, telling them they should get within the ring subsequent yr to “remedy” which one is the higher fighter. The commentator Bradley desires them to cease utilizing pathetic excuses and meet already.
“Cease Operating”
Bradley says each fighters should “cease operating,” however Tank isn’t the runner. It’s Shakur. He’s been the issue as a result of his fights have concerned non-engagement, and he’s not proven the crowd-pleasing model that may be a criterion to be chosen to satisfy with the King of the light-weight division, Tank Davis. It’s not simply Tank who desires nothing to do with Shakur. Vasily Lomachenko confirmed little interest in combating him both for a similar purpose.
Tank mentioned yesterday these are the three fighters he desires in 2025 earlier than retiring:
- Ryan Garcia
- Devin Haney
- Vasily Lomachenko
You may’t go fallacious with that listing should you’re Tank as a result of all three of them will deliver in additional PPV buys than Shakur, who is simply recognized by hardcore boxing followers. Casuals don’t know who the three-division world champion Stevenson is as a result of his fights have created zero buzz.
Additionally, he hasn’t fought the large names in any of the three weight lessons he’s competed in. The most effective fighter Shakur has fought throughout his seven-year profession was a smaller, older Oscar Valdez, who he had an enormous measurement benefit over once they fought on April 30, 2022.
Sadly for Bradley, the extremely in style star of the 135-lb division, Tank (30-0, 28 KOs), informed the media in an interview yesterday that he’s retiring after 2025. He named the three fighters he wished to face earlier than he exited the sport. Shakur’s identify was NOT on the listing, and I can’t blame Tank. His model of combating doesn’t make the grade.
It’s most likely too late for Shakur to alter his model to encourage Gervonta, 30, to combat him as a result of he’s already proven his stripes. Tank is delay by that strategy to combating, and he desires the three guys that can come to combat in 2025 earlier than he hangs up his gloves.
What Shakur must do is deal with giving Edwin De Los Santos his rematch to clear up the controversy from their combat final yr on November sixteenth, which left a nasty style within the mouths of followers. After De Los Santo, Shakur ought to combat these fighters:
– Keyshawn Davis
– Abdullah Mason
– Raymond Muratalla
– William Zepeda
– Teofimo Lopez
