Tim Bradley thinks Shakur Stevenson is another great star of this sport. He expects Shakur (24-0, 11 KO) to be the WBO Delicate Waiter, weighing Teofimo Lopez at the beginning of 2026, and then he will face Ryan Garcia “A lot of money. “

Tim says that it doesn’t matter that Shakur has no power and is a purely defensive fighter. He believes that his style is perfect for him to become another star, now when Terence Crawford approaches his retirement after his best career with Canelo Alvarez last month.

Turk’s headlight lithe on Shakur

So far, the style of Stevenson’s fight, which is an amateur point approach, has not resonated with fans. Turki Alalshikh gave him a chance to see on several of his seasonal cards with Riyada against Josh Padley and William Zedaie.

Shakur was saved from the guillotine Not being forced to fight these talented lithe carts:

Andy Cruz
Horer’s cores
Floyd Schofield
Abdullah Mason

Turks could put Stevenson’s feet on fire, insisting that he would fight one of these guys, instead of letting him feast the boxer part -time Josh Padley and Zepeda.

This is what made him come up now. However, Stevenson intends to fight Teofimo at the age of 140, and this can be the beginning of the end to be potentially knocked out or badly beaten by Teofimo.

Bradley’s forecasts

Shakur will be next canalcircling his wagons around Shakur Stevenson before the fight in 2026 with Teofimo Lopez.

“Shakur embarrasses fighters. He takes everything from you. He will be forced to frustrate your trainer in the corner. If you beat him [Teofimo Lopez]I see the throws with Ryan Garcia. It brings a lot of money. You fight Teo and then you can fight Ryan. You can meet him at the age of 144, “said Bradley.

Tim does not say which warrior Shakur embarrassed at the age of 135. None of the last four opponents, William Zepeda, Josh Padley, Artem Harutyunyan and Edwin de Los Santos, did not embarrass. The last warrior who looked bad was Shuichiro Yoshino in April 2023, but he was a fighter at a lower level at the age of 135.

Nation Vegas “Take: Lopez reality control

Yoshino did not belong to the ranking in the top 15, and if you look at the rankings now, you can’t see him anywhere. Sanctioning bodies made a mistake, occupying it with the highest level. So this is not a massive deal that Shakur has embarrassed him because he was not world -class.

If Stevenson continues to fight outside the 135-pound division, he must leave his lithe WBC title, because it would be his second in a row, if he faced Ryan Garcia after 140 or 144.

Zepeda Strace exposed

Tim assumes that Shakur will defeat Teofimo and it may not happen. If you saw Stevenson fought with Tom William Zeza at the beginning of this year on July 12, you would have to look at Lopez as a favorite against him.

Shakur was probably dropped in the third round by Zepeda, but the judge blew up the call, not considering him as knocking. In addition, he made many shots from the Mexican volume and looked beaten after the fight.

Paulie Malignaggis Insightful Verdict on Manny Pacquiao vs Shakur Stevenson Fight

Paulie Malignaggi's Insightful Verdict on Manny Pacquiao vs Shakur Stevenson Fight

Paulie Malignaggi has offered his reaction to a reported clash between Shakur Stevenson and Manny Pacquiaowhich could feature on the undercard of Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua.

The all-British heavyweight showdown is expected to take place on December 11, headlining an event at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium.

That is, of course, if Fury and Joshua actually make it to the ring, as despite it being announced earlier this week, The Ring’s Mike Coppinger has since reported that their fight is in jeopardy.

Prior to that, it had emerged that an encounter between Stevenson and Pacquiao – between whom there is a near two-decade age gap – was being planned for the same night in Wales.

Should it come to fruition, this would represent Stevenson’s first outing since signing with Dana White’s Zuffa Boxing, who he joined after dethroning Teofimo Lopez with a unanimous decision victory in January.

Pacquiao, meanwhile, has not fought since his draw with Mario Barrios in July 2025, when he ended a near four-year layoff and almost claimed the WBC welterweight title.

Yet despite that surprisingly impressive performance, former world champion Malignaggi has emphasised on his YouTube channel that, against Stevenson, the 47-year-old would be facing an entirely different competitor.

“Manny Pacquiao-Shakur Stevenson has no place on this card; [it] has no place in big-time boxing. I am completely befuddled.

“[I’m] disappointed in Stevenson; [I’m] disappointed in Zuffa, obviously. These are ‘click bait’ type of fights. These are names that draw attention, so you can get people to watch. Then the fight’s a dud and all these casuals sit there complaining about boxing, telling you why boxing’s dead.”

Malignaggi went on to credit Pacquiao with being “competitive against the worst world champion I’ve ever seen in my life”, emphasising a considerable difference between Barrios and Stevenson.
