Why is Shakur Stevenson older than Devin Haney, Ryan Garcia, and Teofimo Lopez, but draining himself

if haney, garcia, and teo are already weight bullies at 135, what does that make Shakur? He's clearly the same size as them, older than them, yet he drains himself to fight one weight class below them. this dude sucks.

He into clearing out his entire divisions of all the best competition until moving up in weight if needed…… unlike many others in the sport who lack that competitive drive. I would argue that he is more avoided than even Haney or maybe everyone. Tank isn’t avoided so much because it’s such a huge payday everybody want it… just like Canelo. But Haney , Crawford, Benevidez and Shakur in top 5 most avoided def.

I like Shakur over allum except Tank.

Shakur is a more superior boxer and have better defense than Haney. I would say SS’s power better too.

lol nah i dont fw ryan garcia. but lets use for example. everybody shyts on him because he drains himself down to 135. It's very likely he's 150+ on fight night. But he drains down so he can fight midets.

shakur and ryan garcia are the same give or take. Shakur is OLDER than ryan, has MORE olympic pedigree by far (olympic silver medalist), yet he's not just draining himself to 135, he's draining himself to 130. the fact he even picked up a vacant belt at 126 while his contemporaries are at 135 is insane to me.
