Shakur wants to call Tank: Desperate For Davis Fight

Shakur Stevenson says he would like to talk to Gervonta Davis on the phone to try to convince him to fight him without promoters getting involved.

Tank might think it’s creepy if Shakur called him. He could see it as behavior of the bully and get more discouraged and change your phone number.

The contempt of the tank

Stevenson likes to try to set up a fight like Terence Crawford did with Errol Spence in 2023. However, Shakur (22-0, 10 KOs) doesn’t think Gervonta would go for that idea because he has “some shit against me.”

The truth is, Tank doesn’t like runners, and Shakur doesn’t belong in that era. His old, archaic Mayweather style is from a bygone era.

It could be that Tank (30-0, 28 KOs) is put off by Shakur’s desperate obsession with him, bringing up his name in interviews, chasing his influence to promote his fights and being an underrated fighter. entertained Davis would be the draw in a fight between them, and Shakur would be there as a cardboard back.

If Shakur could build his own name beating quality fighters and stay in the pocket to trade instead of running, he wouldn’t have to beg Gervonta to fight. Being booed in repeated fights for being boring makes Shakur one of the lowest echelons of the castes when it comes to boxing. He is not worthy to be in the presence of the King Tank.

Needed traded for Shakur

– Stay in your pocket
– Stop running
– Take a risk
– Facing a better opposition

“I said, ‘Let’s fight.’ What else do you want me to do?” Shakur Stevenson said on Shawn Porter’s YouTube channel about asking Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis for a fight. “When I went and did it with Devin, he was chasing hard. Now, I go and do the same kind of thing with Tank, and they’ll be like, ‘He’s chasing. he is jealous

“We are in a new generation. These people today, they have all these narratives. I said, ‘Let’s fight.’ I said, “Send the contract and we’ll do it.” I’m not a delusional person. I don’t come out to say anything.

“I’m not going to act like I’m the A side and I deserve a 50-50 (for the tank fight). Bro, let’s negotiate and see where it goes from here. I know I’m the B side, but let’s fight Shakur said.

The King and the Shortcut

Stevenson sounds obtuse, thinking that all he has to do is say, “Let’s fight” to fight Gervonta. That’s not how it’s done. He has to fight better opposition, stop the run, look good and avoid being booed 24/7 by the fans. If all the contenders had to do was say, “Let’s fight,” for a chance to meet the King, everyone would. That’s not how it goes.

If Shakur wants to take a shortcut to fight Gervonta, he has to do something brave, like in the days of knights and King Arthur. He should move up to 154 and beat Bakhram Murtazaliev or Vergil Ortiz Jr. If Stevenson does this, his popularity would skyrocket and he would have no problem fighting Tank.

“I think so,” Shakur said, reacting to being told that he and Gervonta are the two biggest names, and that it’s the biggest fight. “Besides Terence and Canelo, besides that, me and Tank are the biggest fight. It’s not up to me. I’m not the A side. I accept that I’m the B side.

“That’s how it went with Terence and Errol,” Stevenson said of Terence Crawford and Errol Spence talking on the phone one-on-one, without the promoters, to agree to fight. “That was a cool way. I’d be down with it, but the guy (Tank Davis) has some shit against me.

“Something about me. I’d be willing to do it. Negotiate, talk about it, sit down with each other. I’d be willing to do it, me. It wouldn’t happen, though. I’m open to it. It would never happen .I wouldn’t go through with it,” Shakur said of Gervonta not wanting to talk to him.

“Yeah, sure,” Shakur said when asked if he wanted the “One Million Percent” tank fight. “Me and Tank, that’s the focus. That’s the biggest fight in boxing. That’s the fight that’s going to make me pay big. He paid big. He’s going to do more with me than anybody else. My focus is Tank. Tank and I have to wrestle,” Shakur said when asked if he would be interested in wrestling his good friend, Keyshawn Davis.
