Shakur Vs. Schofield: Is Golden Boy Setting Up Floyd For

By Nationvegas – 11/25/2024 – Feedback

Floyd Schofield posted a message to his promoter, Oscar De La Hoya, on X, begging him to permit him to combat WBC light-weight champion Shakur Stevenson subsequent in February.

The best way that the 22-year-old Schofield (18-0, 12 KOs) requested De La Hoya reeked of a fighter too early in his profession growth stage to be given permission by Golden Boy Promotions to take that form of a combat towards the 2016 Olympic silver medalist Shakur.

Schofield NOT Prepared

If Schofield had been an Olympic gold medalist like De La Hoya was beginning his personal profession, it could be one factor, however he’s not that sort of expertise. De La Hoya gained his first world title in his twelfth professional preventing in 1994, however he was mild years forward of the place Schofield was.

It will be a mismatch in the event you took that model of De La Hoya and plugged him in with Shakur. Oscar would destroy Shakur, however Schofield ain’t that form of fighter. Take Oscar’s potential and transplant it into Schofield, and he’d crush Shakur like De La Hoya did Rafael Ruelas.

Followers would roast De La Hoya and Golden Boy in the event that they allowed the novice Schofield to combat Shakur and one thing unhealthy had been to occur. Schofield’s final combat towards Rene Tellez Giron confirmed that he’s not able to combat for a world title or tackle one of many gifted contenders.

Schofield’s father was speaking about him preventing Andy Cruz or Edwin De Los Santos in a WBA 135-lb title eliminator, however that’s loopy discuss. These guys would faculty Schofield and make him look unhealthy. These are each higher fighters than Shakur when it comes to offensive potential and leisure worth. Shakur is just a defensive man.

“Bro, that’s your promoter. Name that man and get it achieved. Y’all don’t have direct contact with them? I advised you who to have Oscar [De La Hoya] attain out to. Let’s get this transferring.. Begging to him on social media for publicity doesn’t make a combat occur!” stated Shakur Stevenson on X, speaking to Floyd Schofield.

@OscarDeLaHoya please make the combat with @ShakurStevenson …. What occurs after we beat him? This might be a straightforward combat for KID 🙏🏾👍🏾 He doesn’t have the ability to maintain us off of him.

All it’s a must to do is consider and you may be a witness of greatness manifesting. #boxingnews…
