This might be a debatable one as David Benavidez opens a big debate online on the better boxer, Devin Haney or Shakur Stevenson.
Both are multiple division champions and still undefeated, big names in US boxing.
Both are US rivals and have been around one another since back in the day.
Both are possibly in line to try to fight one another next up in a 144 pounds fight possibly.
American cruiser David Benavidez thinks Haney is above Stevenson for at the moment.
Some notes on this.
- Many boxing analysts consider Stevenson the more polished and skilled technician overall.
- Stevenson’s defensive mastery and footwork make him exceptionally difficult to hit cleanly.
- Some experts believe Stevenson’s left-handed style would pose unique problems for Haney.
- Hall of Famer Tim Bradley has stated Stevenson would beat Haney, arguing Haney struggled with Lomachenko.
- Stevenson holds a higher position than Haney in several major pound-for-pound rankings.
- Haney is significantly bigger, taller, and longer with a reach advantage.
- Haney possesses an elite jab that could out-jab Stevenson from the outside.
- Haney’s size and physical attributes might overcome Stevenson’s technical superiority.
- Both fighters have been criticized for low-action fights, so neither has a clear edge in excitement.
- Analysts like O’Shaquie Foster believe Haney brings more physically and mentally to the table.
All in all, Shakur Stevenson might be flying high at the moment but he is yet to step in there against a strong fighter like Devin Haney at the same time.
