MillCity Boxing<\/a>, Ellis, who is a part of \u2018Tank\u2019s coaching team, forecasted Stevenson comfortably defeating the Filipino legend if the bout takes place.<\/p>\n\u201cI think that, if Shakur fights Manny Pacquiao, Shakur will win a unanimous decision.<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah [easy], completely outbox him. 12 rounds.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ellis then went on to say that he does not believe the contest would be any more competitive than Stevenson\u2019s dominant triumph over Lopez \u2013 scored 119-109 by all three judges \u2013 but maintained that he doesn\u2019t anticipate Stevenson being able to knock the 47-year-old out.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnything is possible, boxing is unpredictable but most likely, if you just look at the age difference and Father Time, then I don\u2019t see it happening [Pacquiao causing more issues than Teofimo Lopez]. Again, it is possible, anything can happen but I have got Shakur giving him a classic whooping, picking him apart.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t see him taking the chances to actually try and stop him because it is too risky.\u201d<\/p>\n
Whilst Pacquiao has now become the frontrunner to face Stevenson, the latter has also recently been linked to fights against reigning WBA super-lightweight world champion Gary Antuanne Russell, as well as Raymond Muratalla, who has moved up to 140lbs and vacated his IBF lightweight world title.<\/p>\n
Davis remains on the sidelines, with a 2027 return now more likely after further legal issues outside of the ropes. A fight between him and Stevenson remains the best in the lightweight division.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Shakur Stevenson remains without an opponent after signing with Zuffa Boing earlier this year, but the four-division world…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":766895,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-766894","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/766894","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=766894"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/766894\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/766895"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=766894"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=766894"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=766894"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
