Tim Bradley took to social media to lecture Shakur Stevenson and Jervonta Davis, telling them they need to get in the ring next year to “decide” who is the better fighter. Comment Bradley wants them to stop making tragic excuses and start dating already.
“stop running”
Bradley says both fighters need to “stop running” but Tank is not a runner. This is Shakur. He’s been a problem because his fights have been lackluster and he hasn’t shown the crowd-pleasing style that is the standard for a matchup with lightweight kingpin Tank Davis. It’s not just Tank who wants nothing to do with Shakur. Vasyl Lomachenko did not want to fight with him for the same reason.
Tank said yesterday that these are the three fighters he wants to fight in 2025 before he retires:
- Ryan Garcia
- Devin Haney
- Vasily Lomachenko
If you’re Tank, you can’t go wrong with this list, as all three of them have more PPV buys than Shakur, who only hardcore boxing fans know. Casuals don’t know who the three-division world champion Stevenson is because his fights have generated zero buzz.
Also, he hasn’t fought big names in any of the three weight classes he’s competed in. The best fighter Shakur fought during his seven-year career, Oscar Valdez, was smaller and older than when he had a huge size advantage. they fought on April 30, 2022.
Unfortunately for Bradley, the popular star of the 135-pound division, Tank (30-0, 28 KOs) told the media yesterday in an interview that he will retire after 2025. He listed three fighters he wanted to face before he left. the game Shakur’s name is NOT on the list and I can’t blame Tank. His fighting style is not rated.
It may be too late for Shakur to change his style to encourage the 30-year-old Gervonta to fight him, as he has already shown his stripes. Tank has given up on this approach to war, and he wants three guys to fight in 2025 before he hangs up his gloves.
What Shakur needs to do is focus on giving Edwin De Los Santos his rematch to bridge the gap from their fight last year on November 16, which left a bad taste in the mouths of fans. After De Los Santo, Shakur had to fight these fighters:
– Keyshawn Davis
– Abdullah Mason
– Raymond Muratalla
– William Zepeda
– Teofimo Lopez
