Undefeated pugilist Shakur Stevenson has clearly made a name for himself, as he continues to grow as a professional. However, several people often compare him with the great Floyd Mayweather, which thrills the 23-year-old boxer.

Already a former featherweight champion, Stevenson has aimed at the 140 lbs belts in his next fight. Ahead of the fight, he opened up about the comparisons with Mayweather, revealing his similarities with the five-division world champion.

“I seen something, Floyd say that ‘I am not the fastest, I am not the strongest, but I am the smartest’. And that’s kinda fit me too. I am one of the smartest boxers in boxing. I like the comparison to Floyd but at the end of the day, I’m my own fighter,” said Shakur Stevenson.

That said, he has been close to Floyd Mayweather and has had the chance to learn from the G.O.A.T. While Mayweather seemingly had his worst boxing performance on June 6 against Logan Paul in a SHOWTIME PPV, Stevenson will appear on June 12 in an Interim title clash. On bagging a win, the young puncher would advance himself towards becoming a two-weight-class world champion.

It’s still early to compare ‘Fearless’ and ‘Money’. One has just begun his career, while the other has ended his on a brilliant note. Hence, Stevenson would have to walk a long path to attain a similar stature as Floyd Mayweather.
