My Take
Shakur Stevenson is, to my eye, one of the most cerebral boxers of his generation. Winning titles across four weight classes while still young is staggering, and what impresses me most is not raw power but the surgical defense that makes opponents miss and pay. Some fans call him boring, but I think that misreads the craft entirely; this is high-level chess at full contact. From an Olympic silver to a multi-division champion, his trajectory has been almost flawless. I genuinely believe he belongs in any conversation about the sport's modern masters, and I expect him to define his weight classes for years.
