Shakur Stevenson likes the idea of Manny Pacquiao moving up two weight classes to take on middleweight champion Gennadiy Golovkin. This is a winnable fight for Pacquiao (62-7-2, 39 KOs) over the still powerful 38-year-old GGG, according to Stevenson.

Bob Arum has been using Floyd Mayweather Jr. as a person to compare his fighter featherweight Shakur Stevenson with. Arum sees the unbeaten WBO 126-pound champion Stevenson (13-0, 7 KOs) as a southpaw version of Mayweather, and he feels he’s heading towards superstardom.
Finally, after weeks of drought, we have a boxing schedule to look forward to. Courtesy of Bob Arum’s Top Rank, fans will be able to watch, on TV, six fight cards next month, each one to take place – with no fans in attendance – weekly, on a Tuesday and a Thursday.
