Shakur Stevenson’s five opponents after Teofimo Lopez’s victory
Shakur Stevenson completely outclassed Teofimo Lopez in 12 rounds to win the WBO and ring super lightweight titles on Saturday in Novel York.
Stevenson remained undefeated and became the four-weight world champion after a near-total victory over Lopez at Madison Square Garden.
The 28-year-old immediately faced Conor Benn after his victory, and the Newark fighter has no shortage of options.

Conor Benn
By far, Benn is the most frequently mentioned opponent ahead of the next fight with Stevenson.
Over the past few months, they exchanged words on social media following an argument regarding Ariel Helwani show.
After their first public exchange, Stevenson confirmed he wanted to face Benn on social media.
“I’ll take you apart.

“Too acute, too speedy, too astute.
“And hitting me with a demanding shot will be the last thing you do.”
“The Destroyer” last fought last November, defeating Chris Eubank Jr. in a rematch.
He confirmed his interest in fighting the winner of the WBC title fight with Mario Barrios and Ryan Garcia in February.
Benn also opened the door to a fight with the current WBA welterweight world champion. Roland Romero.
Benn talked to IFLTV after their fight and shared his thoughts on the Stevenson fight.
“I’m here in his city, if he wants it, he can get it.
“He calls for it, so no problem, we will do it at home.
“This will be my first fight at 147 pounds.
“This sausage Rolly can have it too, he wanted to taste some, so no problem, let’s go for some.”
Dalton Smith
Another potential super lightweight opponent is Dalton Smith.
The player from Sheffield fought for his first world trophy in January, dethroning Subriel Matias in Novel York.
Smith was an accomplished amateur and so far in his professional career he has won almost every possible championship title in the country.
In an interview with The Ring magazine, Keyshawn Davis praised Smith.
“Dalton Smith, you lit up.
“You have quite a record.
“He’s a great champion.”
Raymond Muratalla
During Raymond Muratalla’s last fight, Stevenson spoke on the broadcast and confirmed his interest in returning to lightweight after the Lopez fight.
Muratalla successfully defended his IBF lightweight world title for the first time.
He defeated amateur sensation Andy Cruz in 12 rounds. If Stevenson were to return to lightweight, a fight with “Danger” would make a lot of sense.
Ryan Garcia
A fight between Ryan Garcia and Shakur Stevenson would be an stimulating spectacle.
A battle of technique and defensive perfection with speed and raw talent.
Garcia will fight in a welterweight division, higher than the one in which Stevenson fought for the first time – super-lightweight.
After his fights with Benn, a weight gain doesn’t seem too unlikely.
Stevenson spoke to The Breakfast Club and revealed how massive he would be willing to fight.
“No offense, but I would fight him at 154 pounds.”
Devin Haney
The next welterweight star Stevenson could face could be WBO world champion Devin Haney.
Haney shined last time out in Riyad, losing to and defeating Brian Norman Jr. over 12 rounds.
A fight between Haney and Stevenson would be a real chess match and a hard one to decide.
After his victory over Lopez, Stevenson said he was inspired by close friend Terence Crawford, who jumped up two weight classes and outclassed Canelo Alvarez, so the sight of Stevenson challenging in a fifth weight class seems likely.
“I had to follow in Bud Crawford’s footsteps.
“He went out there and dominated Canelo and moved up in weight. He inspired me.”

On Wednesday, Lewis Crocker heads to Australia to defend his IBF welterweight world title against Liam Paro for the first time.
Crocker will face Paro at the Pat Rafter Arena in Queensland, live on DAZN in the UK and Kayo Sports in Australia.
Crocker (22-0, 11 KO) became world champion in September, defeating Paddy Donovan twice before winning the rematch by split decision.
Man from Belfast recorded his second victory over Donovan after the first victory in March last year, and his rival was disqualified for hitting him after the bell.
Paro (27-1, 16 KO) is trying to become a world champion in two weight categories, having previously reigned in the super-lightweight division.
The 30-year-old won the title with a unanimous decision victory over Subriel Matias in Puerto Rico before winning the belt in his first defense against Richardson Hitchins.
The Australian has since won twice, overtaking David Papot in his last appearance in September.
McKean meets Taliva
Heavyweight Demsey McKean will look to continue his rebuild when he faces Liam Talivaa for the vacant IBF Pan Pacific title.
McKean (24-2, 16 KO) had his career cut miniature after a last-round loss to Filip Hrgovic, followed by a brutal first-round loss to Moses Itauma.
See this post on Instagram
The 35-year-old southpaw returned to winning ways with back-to-back stoppage victories.
Talivaa (8-2, 4 KO) last won the IBF Oceania-Orient title, defeating Faiga Opelu by first-round stoppage.
Undercard remaining
At cruiserweight, Luke Modini (13-0, 11 KO) will likely need distance to beat Peng Qu (17-2-1, 12 KO), while Riley Candy (8-1, 5 KO) could stop Nathan Watson (11-3, 3 KO) at super middleweight.
Vegas Larfield (13-1, 9 KO) can hand Shamal Ram Anuj (11-8, 8 KO) his fourth defeat in a row in a featherweight clash.
Heavyweight Nelson Asofa-Solomon (2-0, 2 KO) can secure a third straight knockout over debutant George Burgess, and Stevan Ivic (8-0-1, 2 KO) can do the same against Caleb Tialu (3-7, 3 KO), also a heavyweight.
Prospective super welterweight fighter Jack Javed (1-0) should overtake Lance McDonald (1-5-1, 1 KO).
