They say that if you are going to make enemies, at least make them easy to defeat. But this was not considered by Shakur Stevenson, after an interview with “The Ring” when he participated in the Top-10 of the best exponents ofboxing of all time.
In the world of social media, it is hoped that it was a confusion, but when answering, he placed Mike Tyson as his seventh best boxer in the history of this sport and with a better position mentioned Tyson Fury. Confusion of Tyson’s? This is what was read in the comments (plus other toxic opinions) in the account of X of that media.
However, his Top 10 left much to be desired once Muhammad Ali was placed in ninth place. At least Mexican fans can rest easy as Julio Cesar Chavez was given 10th place.
How was the activity to designate a Top 10?
It was a blind activity. To clarify the context, Stevenson did not choose a name and then place it accordingly. The activity was the appearance of a name and the champion had to put it in the order that he considered most appropriate.
Apart from the few concerns about Ali and Pacquiao’s position, many found it difficult to accept Tyson Fury’s position. Once you follow the “Tyson’s” debate. Who is the best among them? There are those who have downgraded Fury for his two consecutive defeats and should not even appear in the Top-20, as read in the comments.
Meanwhile, Mike Tyson gave his all for the sport, revolutionized it and generated millions in revenue for several people, organizations and boxing in particular. Other comments along these lines were also highlighted.
But it was just a personal opinion of Shakur Stevenson and therefore should not be taken seriously, as one of the users suggested. But for you, what is your Top 10 of the best boxers of all time?
The fight between Shakur Stevenson and Floyd Schofield for the lightweight title, on the undercard of the rematch between Beterbiev and Bivol, will take place on Saturday, February 22 at the Kingdom Arena in Saudi Arabia.
