Shakur Stevenson told TMZ: “I felt Tank looked sharp, he looked real sharp, he boxed real good.

“I think Ryan was like pre-school, Ryan wasn’t on that top level.

“When they speak about the ‘Four Kings’, all of the ‘Four Kings’ were special, great fighters and I don’t think Ryan was on that kind of level, I don’t think Ryan was that good.

“I ain’t taking no credit away from Tank, Tank did what he was supposed to do, but Ryan just wasn’t that.”

Asked if he wants to face Davis, Stevenson said: “I would love that fight.

“I think that’s the biggest and best fight in the sport of boxing.

“You’ve got special fighters that come around. You got like a Michael Jordan that came around in his era. Then you got a LeBron James that came around in his era.

“But they weren’t in the same era so we never got to see them go against each other.

“With me and Tank, you’ve got two special fighters that have been special our whole careers and our whole lives.

“When it comes down to it, it’s going to be the biggest and best fight in boxing.

“The people who really know boxing going to tell you that’s the big fight and I agree with them. I think that that’s the biggest fight.”


Sadly though, when asked to give a realistic timeframe for the fight to happen, Stevenson admitted he is not massively confident that it will materialise in the very near future.

“I’m ready right now, I’m ready right now,” he insisted, “But I think it’s depending on what he wants to do. He’s the cash cow, he’s the A-side.

“He can pick and choose right now. He’s at that point.

“He’s like at the Floyd Mayweather point where he can go, ‘I’ll fight him, I’ll fight him, but I’ll wait to fight him.’

“He’s got that type of leverage right now so it’s all up to him. Nothing but respect to what he just did, I respect it.”
