Teofimo Lopez is a great fighter, which makes Shakur Stevenson’s masterclass over him even more impressive.
Now, it’s all about what’s next for The Ring's 140-pound champion.
Conor Benn, Devin Haney and Raymond Muratalla have been mentioned as potential opponents. But if it was up to former junior welterweight champion Tim Bradley, he would choose someone else entirely.
“I’ll tell y’all a fighter that can get with Shakur,” Bradley said on his YouTube channel. “I’m not saying [he can] beat [Stevenson], just someone that’s on his level. His name is O’Shaquie Foster. He’s on his level. O’Shaquie Foster should be on the pound-for-pound list.”
Foster, a two-time champion at junior lightweight, last fought in December against Stephen Fulton.
In what was viewed as a fight that could go either way, Foster (24-3, 12 KOs) boxed circles around Fulton, who moved up from featherweight for the bout. The scores read 117-111, 118-110, and 119-109.
Foster also has wins over Eduardo "Rocky" Hernandez, Abraham Nova and Robson Conceicao.
Interestingly enough, Foster and Stevenson don't get along. Foster has previously claimed to get the better of him during numerous sparring sessions.
Although their paths are not likely to cross anytime soon, Bradley hopes that changes. The way he sees it, Foster might be the only fighter who can match Stevenson, who was recently stripped of his WBC lightweight title, in multiple categories.
“O’Shaquie has a lot of what Shakur has with the distance,” Bradley said. “He has a fast jab too. O’Shaque big too, got a little size on him, got some reach on him, got some pop on him. He lets that backhand go too.”
