Comments Thread For: Shakur Stevenson says he's ready to return, rules out a fight with Keyshawn Davis

That is like saying "I am right and everybody else is wrong" "my opinion is the only valid one and everybody who disagrees with me is a casual". Like being causal is the worst insult that can be given to anyone who likes to watch boxing.

If you read the comments on this forum about Shakur, you will realise that 80% to 90% of people do not like him because of his style. By the way, this is a boxing forum not a knitting forum, that only hard core boxing fans would subscribe to or even know that it exists. There are no casuals here, even though I observe quite often in heated arguments people call each other casuals to shut them up and win the argument.

No heated argument anywhere near me, I'd hope that anyone familiar with my username would immediately know that my use of "casual" was a joke in itself, one simply designed to help drive home my point about Shakur not being boring to those with a purist streak.

I do love that you represented for decency when you weren't sure of/had misread my intentions B-)

I am sorry if I have misinterpreted your post because I am not familiar with your style. I have just noticed that "casuals" is usually used as an insult on this forum. On a more positive note your posts are usually very funny.

Well said!!!

I'll never understand how people can say 'YOU DONT KNOW **** ABOUT BOXING' or call someone a casual just because they're not a fan of someone. Especially someone who I think has been the most boring fighter I've never seen.

The fact of that matter is that Shakur is boring as hell. If anyone is a fan of him, cool. I'm not going to argue that. I'm not denying his skills. Shakur doesn't have to do anything but be himself. He doesn't have to please anyone... but the truth is, fans are responsible for the money that gets put into his pockets. Viewership/ratings, tickets/merch sold, ppv sales (if/when he is on a ppv).

Just like he doesn't need to please anyone, we don't have to watch him.

Say what you want about compubox but this definitely means something:

Edwin De Los Santos made CompuBox history tonight in WBC world title fight against Shaku Stevenson. His 40 landed punches are the fewest landed punches in a twelve round fight in CompuBox's 38-year history.

Why are these fighters so afraid to face each other? It's frustrating that they're the ones getting special treatment and always managing to cherry-pick their opponents. It's absurd.
