From turning down career-high paydays to demanding impossible catchweights, Keyshawn Davis and Shakur Stevenson are letting questionable choices derail their immense talent.
Shakur Stevenson passed on a Devin Haney fight at 144 pounds recently but he claimed the opposite.
Davis then had left an offer on the table from Haney, again, as it happens.
Strange to see that in a time that boxing is making more of the big fights than it had done in many years. Some things to be mindful of here;
- Davis turned down a multi million Haney fight after publicly demanding it
- In decline promoter Bob Arum called the rejection “perplexed” and had no idea what Davis was thinking
- Davis missed weight and lost his title, then called out Stevenson the same week
- He body-slammed Albright in the ring and lost two points for frustration
- Davis criticised Stevenson for taking risks, telling him never to fight aggressively
- Stevenson wants a 144-pound catchweight for Haney, which Devin Haney refuses
- Stevenson rejected fighting Davis unless offered $500 million
- Andy Cruz accused Davis of protecting his record like a “baby”
- Stevenson denies ever receiving a Haney offer despite contrary reports
- Both men are wasting prime years with inconsistent decisions
The above is simple balanced analysis of events that happened recently in boxing news.
It should be noted ths is not the norm and boxers take fights all the time.
