Shakur Stevenson’s Next Move: Teofimo Lopez Ducks, Gervonta Davis Ghosting, And Who’s Left?

Shakur Stevenson Appeared to Post A Self-Motivational Message On X to Let Fans Know That He’s About To “Lock Back in” After rejoying His Victory Lap from His Career-Best Win over William Zepeda Last Month in Queens.

Why Teofimo Lopez has gone quiet

The Fight That Shakur (24-0, 11 Kos) Hoped to the Next Against Teofimo Lopez Doesn’t Look Like It’s Happening. Teo has gone quiet, Likely becuse he received the hopeless situation he’d have been in IF Hea’d Fought Stevenson on One of Turkey AleSki AlaSSHIKH Season Season.

The Way That The Judges Scored Shakur’s Highly Highly-Punching Zepeda (32-1, 27 Kos), in Everything Round Before The Mexican Sluggers, Showed What Lopez Would Be Against The Newark, New Jersey Native.

Mayweather-esque scoring

Shakur Is Getting The Old Mayweather Treatment With The Scoring Now. That means he can’t been by a decision by Anyone on The Planet, No Matter How Badly He’s Outlanded. Judges Love That Retro Mayweather-Esque style.

Zepeda riddled shakur With Shots All Night Long, Yet Found Himself On The Receiving End of A Lopsided 12-Round Decision. Teofimo Likely Saw The Scoring For That Fight and Said To Himsellf, ‘Forget This. I Don’t Want To Get The Zepeda Treatment. ‘

Stevenson hasn’tn’ten’ten’t Any Options. He’d been Calling Out Gerval Davis for The Last Three Years, But That’s Not Going to Happen Either. With Tank and Teofimo Seemingly Not An Option, Shakur Will Likely Turn His Attention to Lining Up A Fight Against Lamont Roach Jr.

He was the Three Fighters on His Hit List That He posted Recently. The Other Is Andy CruzBut Stevenson Isn’t To Fight The Talented 2020 Olympic Gold Medalist. # 1 WBC-Ranked Cruz Can Do Everything Shakur Can, But With More Punching Power.

Why Roach Jr. Won’t Sell PPV

Using With The Problem Roach (25-1-2, 10 Kos) as His opponent is That It’s Not A Fight That Sell on PPV. Unless Turki Is Willing To Pay Shakur A Goldmine Worth of Money For Ther Fight, It’s Not Targeting. The Reason Is That You Can’t Take Two Defensive Fighters and Put Them Against Each. It’s Poison For The Eyes. Those Fights Don’t Sell In This Earro Of Boxing, in Wrich Fans Expect to Be Entertained.

IF Turki Could Find A Working Time Machine And Place Shakur & Roach on Board, He Could Send Them Back To The Early 1990s Before the Invention of the Internet. Back, Fans Had Few Options for Entertainment, and Would Put Up With Watching Two Defensive Fighters Battle In A Chess Match.

Stevenson Needs Someone That The Public Would Care To See. He’d be Fine If Turki Is Willing To Fight and Place It On One of One Of His Undercards for Popular Fighter. It’s Not One That One Could Headline.

Shakur’s Top Fight Options

1. Andy Cruz
2. Abdullah Mason
3. Floyd Schofield Jr.
4. Raymond Muratalla
5. Gary Antuanne Russell
6. Richardson Hitchins
