Shakur accuses Gervonta Davis of shying away from top competition

Shakur Stevenson slams Gervonta Davis in interview, stating he uses weight rules on opponents and faces “less talented fighters” to make himself look bigger than he actually is better.

WBC lightweight champion Stevenson (22-0, 10 KOs) was told that Gervonta was unimpressed with his record and asked what he had done in his career to make him want to fight him. Enraged. Tank thinks he's eliminated any possibility of fighting Shakur not worth it Go see the king. It's true. Shakur was completely unfit to be in his presence.

Shakur's promoter Eddie Hearn has been discussing the idea of ​​Shakur fighting Tank Davis in 2025. Matches against these three:

1. Floyd Schofield
2. William Zepeda
3. Gervonta Davis

Now, Shakur is rambling without even speaking as if a fight with Tank Davis is a foregone conclusion. Tank is like, “What is this guy talking about?” Shakur is like a spoiled kid who's used to getting what he wants and gets mad when people reject him.

Stevenson needs to give Edwin De Los Santos a rematch, prove he can fight without running, then face Andy Cruz. The Cuban talent is a better version of Shakur, but with the offense, power and willingness to participate. If Cruz were a computer, he would be the next generation above Shakur, a clunky, outdated, early-2000s model that was frozen on the page.

Weight Loss Allegations

“He doesn't seem like a real person. No offense to him, but I'm a real person.” Shakur Stevenson clarified after Gervonta Davis said he was unimpressed with his record After the rumors, Tank told Boxing News: “I'm not going to act like Tank isn't a good boxer.

“Like he asked me what did I do for the sport of boxing, I think he should look in the mirror and ask the same question because it's like what did you do?” Shakur continued about Tank Davis. “Even the guys you eliminated were on weight terms, weight loss. To the public and people who don't know better, it looks good, but I'm a fighter. I know what's going on. I know What are you doing.

“You put less talented fighters in your ring and make it look like they're on the same level as him, but they're not. I don't want to hear anything from him until he fights an elite level fighter. News,” Shakur said.

What Gervonta said is 100% correct. Who has Shakur played against during his career? None are good. He's beaten a few fading fighters at 130, captured three paper titles against weaker opponents, and has looked very poor since moving up to 135. , he played his final game against weaker Artem Harutyunyan in his hometown of Newark.

“Fight someone I've beaten before!”

“he [Tank] Acting like he can't get a lot of people into the ring. Why didn't he try to find Edwin de los Santos? Why isn't this a fight you want? Since you want to speak ill of me, then fight the people I have beaten. You talked about my performance. So, be better than me,” Shakur said.

Tanking Edwin de los Santos didn't do him or his career any favors because the guy hadn't fought in 14 months. He had just lost to Stevenson, and when Gervonta fought him in August or September, he had not fought in 21 months.

Since Shakur was exposed as a Chicken Runner by De Los Santos on November 16, 2023, Shakur's stock price has plummeted. A brave performance from light-hitting Arten Harutyunyan.
