\u201cBenavidez is all the pieces he say he’s, much respect to him and his craft. I might like to see Bivol get back healthy 100% and make that fight.\u201d<\/p>\n

One fan quickly brought up an older post from Shakur, pulling it back into the conversation:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI said I’ll just on my time<\/strong> and never on no person else time<\/strong>! Tell David I’ll go up when he go as much as his 4th weight class to fight Usyk?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The \u201con my time\u201d comment feels weak to fans since it appears like a double standard. Shakur wants the credit of being a \u201cbig dog\u201d who fights anyone, however the contract demands suggest he only wants those fights if the opposite guy is physically compromised.<\/p>\n

Benavidez just proved you may move up and dominate with no security blanket within the contract. By asking for catchweights and rehydration limits against Ryan, Haney, and Benn, Shakur is making it easy for people to say he\u2019s more thinking about protecting his \u201c0\u201d than in testing his greatness.<\/p>\n

\u2018The Mexican Monster\u2019 Benavidez is out here jumping divisions and chasing whoever holds belts. He doesn\u2019t wait around for perfect timing. That\u2019s why people call him a warrior.<\/p>\n

Shakur isn\u2019t built that way. He fights with precision and picks his moments rigorously. Even here, he gave Benavidez respect after which pointed toward Dmitry Bivol as a fight he\u2019d reasonably see next.<\/p>\n

Stevenson is a four-division champion, which is an incredible feat on paper. Nevertheless, the perception is that those titles were won through meticulous planning and favorable terms. When he tells fans \u201con my time,\u201d it sounds to many like he\u2019s saying \u201con my terms,\u201d which incorporates rehydration clauses or catchweights that mitigate the chance.<\/p>\n
