"I don't care who it is" - Shakur Stevenson believes he could beat prime Floyd Mayweather 

Shakur Stevenson believes he can beat prime Floyd Mayweather. Just a day after claiming that he could beat Canelo Alvarez, Stevenson has now said that he could defeat 'Money' Mayweather as well.

In an interview with Fight Hub TV, he replied to a question about Gervonta Davis as an opponent when he spoke about fighting Mayweather:

"Yeah I agree with that I feel like he's [Gervonta Davis] very skillful. He got timing, he got reflexes, he fast. I just feel like, I'm so confident right in myself, I don't care who it is. I feel like me right now if you ask me would I beat Floyd Mayweather back in the day, I'm gonna say yes. And truthfully really believe that, I'm not just saying, 'Ohh I feel that way or that's how I fee about myself'."

Take a look at the interview:

The up-and-coming WBO Super Featherweight Champion is one of the most technically sound fighters in the world. Stevenson knows how to use space very well, going in and out of his opponents' range to land shots with pinpoint accuracy.

Stevenson is a very smart fighter and he does not waste any punches. What he lacks in punching power, he makes up for in skill and defense.

However, Mayweather is a tried and tested world champion. It is too early to start making any comparisons for Shakur Stevenson until he proves himself even more.
