He’s nice and I wish him well. He’s seriously lacking the power that will cost him as he ascends in weight classes.
6/9 ESPN: Shakur Stevenson vs Felix Caraballo

I wonder how soon that will catch up to him.
I'd agree but as the fights get longer and he fights more rounds he's putting a few dudes away. It's not like Caleb Plant where he's had fights where he's completely untouched but can't damage anybody.

In terms of the younger champs...

In the tail end of his career Andre Ward was a big time fighter who was not a knockout artist and didn't have a reckless mouth.
That's the lane Shakur can slide into if he's at his current pace. If he opens his mouth or gets more into the celebrity side of things then that could change things.
it has sounded like he thinks he can be mayweather level not just a big time fighter. I just havent seen enough personality for that. of course it may also come down to what type of marketing team he has around him and how well they can brand him.
