Canelo Alvarez, Gervonta Davis Snubbed By Shakur Stevenson In Pound-For-Pound List

Stevenson told Helwani about picking Bivol as his number two:

I don't think people give him enough credit. He beat two of the biggest names [Canelo, Artur Beterbiev] in boxing, and he dominated both of them fights to me. I like Bivol.

Helwani questioned why Naoya Inoue wasn't on his list and Stevenson answered:

With Inoue, he had that one fight with 'cool boy' Steph [Stephen Fulton], he did good in that fight, he looked good. They crucify me for fighting no-name fighters and people that people don't know, feel like he has done the same thing.

Stevenson claims if Inoue beats Junto Nakatani, he'd definitely be in his list of top three pound-for-pound fighters. He declined to put himself atop the list, saying he needs to beat some bigger names first.

Shakur Stevenson vs William Zepeda takes place at the Louis Armstrong Stadium in Queens, New York. The card is a double header with Edgar Berlanga vs Hamzah Sheeraz at super middleweight being the main event.
