'Dude's ready for the next marathon': Shakur Stevenson accidentally becomes ridiculous as bold statement falls on deaf ears in boxing world

Following Stevenson's confident declaration, the reaction from the boxing community was as varied as the sport's rich tapestry. One fan elevated Stevenson to the pinnacle of Puerto Rican boxing, highlighting the belief in his unparalleled talent.

On the contrary, another noted the dichotomy of Stevenson's career: despite his undeniable talent ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ alike, some of his fights lack the kinetic excitement that many fans crave.

That sentiment was echoed, albeit with humor, by another fan who likened Stevenson's fitness to that of a marathon runner, a playful nod to his endurance-oriented fighting style.

Additional commentary highlighted respect for Stevenson's condition, but combined with hopes for a more dynamic performance from his final, reflecting fans' longing for fights that leave them on the edge of their seats.

One particular response took a direct approach, questioning Stevenson's expectations for the upcoming fight and whether he's aiming for a knockout, and seeking clarity on whether July's promise translates into a more aggressive approach in the ring.

As July 6 approaches, the anticipation for Shakur Stevenson's match is building, fueled by a mix of skepticism and hope among fans.

Will he adapt to the clamor of more enticing battles, or will his tactical prowess continue to define his path?
