Comparing Shakur Stevenson with boxing legends: Is it really the first 10 light places of all time?

Shakur Stevenson says that the only way to move to 140 is if he had conquered the £ 135 division. He thinks he will not grow in the lightweight weight division. Stevenson (24-0.11 kos) claims that his goal is to be “One of the best light” In history.

Shakur vs. Boxing Legends

It is very unlikely that Shakur becomes one of the “best light” of all time in true meaning because he lacks full game. It is all defense and very little offense.

If you have followed boxing over the years, you will know that Stevenson will never be even among the first 10 lighter places because he does not have the balance of offense/defense of his game. It takes more than you defend to make the list of the best lightweight of all time.

The best light of all time

Ham Whitaker
Henry Armstrong
Joe Gans
Benny Leonard
Carlos Ortiz
Ike Williams
Tony Canzoneri
Julio César Chávez
Roberto Durán
Edwin Rosario
José Luis Ramírez
Héctor Camacho
Oscar of La Hoya
Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Manny Pacquiao

Imagine -what would the light version of Hoya would have done to Shakur if he fought at this time. It would not be beautiful. What about Mayweather or Pacquiah? When they fought lightly, they were quickly snatching and had excellent power. You cannot compare Shakur with any of the fighters or the others on the list.

“I do not look bigger to fight at 140 pounds. If I did, it would be:” OK, I did everything at the age of 135. I conquered the division and now it is time to move forward, “said Shakur Stevenson to Not night. “I want to be one of the best light of all time.”

Stevenson’s matching of matches

If Shakur wants to be one of the best light, why has he fought against William Zepeda, Josh Padley, and Artem Harutyunyan in his last three fights? These three are not close to “the best” of the 135 -pound division. Fighting them instead of light talents suggests that their goal is not to become the best in a real way. Is trying to take the behind to become the best. This cannot be respected.

The best lightweight current

• Andy Cruz: by far the best number 1 and in another level than the fighters like Shakur. Cruz is also the most prevented.
• Floyd Schofield
• Abdullah Mason
• Herrera Cores
• Raymond Muratalla
• Gervonta Davis
• Lamont roach
