And their rankings are dogshyt, which leads to trash mandos.
Depends who you ask, both work
Those Swift fights were like 7 years agoNone of the PBC 147 had it easy
Swift had the **** fight...Khan short notice short money under dog... Matthysse as underdog he scared he ducking Matthysse the next
Porter fought Devon... AB catch weight
Thurman prolly had it easiest until the Porter fight but He did take the chino fight last minute N maidana said
So was Devon/Porter. PBC has made some of their fighters go thru it, but none on a consistent basis.
I give y'all props for talking about the same thing from the start of Corona until now
no shot at you @ChocolateGiddyUp
You cats say the dumbest shyt. Less than a year ago Pac outclassed Thurman.
WRAPS AT THE ABSOLUTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE MINIMUM
I see a cat tryna hit the bag with bare hands, I'ma stop em. Whether it be at the gym or the sports store. That's a recipe for destroying your fingers up to your shoulders.
Agreed,
Now if you heard Rat Man aka King Sor saying this shyt, when he was eating out of dumpsters and fighting, it makes more sense. Everyone has a right to air their grievances though.

Stevenson: Valdez Knows I Would Beat Him Easily, My Style Is Not For Him
By Keith Idec

Shakur Stevenson’s most approachable path to a 130-pound world title shot is to face the winner of the Miguel Berchelt-Oscar Valdez fight.
Berchelt, Valdez and Stevenson all are promoted by Bob Arum’s Top Rank Inc., thus Stevenson versus the winner should be relatively easy to make. Jamel Herring, the WBO junior lightweight champion, also is promoted by Arum’s company, but Stevenson and Herring are friends, so Stevenson would agree to challenge Herring if it were his only opportunity to fight for a 130-pound championship.
The 22-year-old Stevenson considers Leo Santa Cruz the most appealing opponent for him within the 130-pound division, in which Stevenson will make his debut Tuesday night in Las Vegas. Santa Cruz has committed to fighting Gervonta Davis next, though, which leaves the Berchelt-Valdez victor as the most likely 130-pound champion Stevenson could challenge.

Stevenson slightly favors Berchelt in that bout, but if Valdez wins the WBO featherweight champion isn’t sure Valdez would fight him. Valdez vacated his WBO 126-pound championship late last summer instead of making a mandated defense versus Stevenson, who won the unclaimed championship by out-pointing Joet Gonzalez in their 12-rounder October 26 in Reno, Nevada.
“I think Valdez is another one who knows my style isn’t for him,” Stevenson told BoxingScene.com. “I think he knows me and him don’t mix. He knows I would beat him easily. I think he knows that, but he just said in an interview that he wasn’t ducking me. He said everyone thinks that’s what it is, but he’s not ducking me. He’s going for Berchelt first and stuff like that. So, we’ll see when the time comes.”
Berchelt (37-1, 33 KOs) and Valdez (27-0, 21 KOs) agreed to fight for Berchelt’s WBC super featherweight title before the COVID-19 pandemic essentially shut down the boxing business in the middle of March. The native Mexicans were expected to meet sometime in May, though their fight had not been officially announced.
Arum informed BoxingScene.com recently that their fight will be rescheduled for an undetermined date later this year.
“I think that Berchelt will win because he’s bigger and stronger than Valdez,” Stevenson said. “But Valdez might surprise people. It really depends with them two who lands the best punch, because they both will be throwing bombs. I don’t know that Berchelt’s defense is that good, and Valdez throws a lot of power punches. I don’t know. We’ll have to see.”
Assuming Stevenson (13-0, 7 KOs) can’t secure a featherweight title unification showdown with England’s Josh Warrington (30-0, 7 KOs) in his next fight, the Newark, New Jersey, native probably will vacate the WBO 126-pound championship without defending it. The 2016 Olympic silver medalist will oppose Puerto Rico’s Felix Caraballo (13-1-2, 9 KOs) in a 10-round, non-title fight Tuesday night.
ESPN will air the six-fight Stevenson-Caraballo card in its entirety from MGM Grand Conference Center, starting at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT.
Valdez, meanwhile, made it clear recently that he isn’t avoiding Stevenson.
“Of course, I would love that fight, especially now,” Valdez told Top Rank’s Crystina Poncher during an interview posted to the company’s YouTube channel. “There’s a lot of people, including [Stevenson], who think I’m avoiding that fight. I’m not. I’m chasing my dream to become a world champion [in the 130-pound division]. I wanna fight for the world title with ‘El Alacran’ Berchelt. ‘El Alacran’ Berchelt is a tougher opponent than him. No offense to Shakur. Shakur is a great fighter. He’ll be up there. We’ll have to fight sooner or later. If he goes up to 130, I’ll gladly fight him.”
