Shakur Stevenson Names Best Boxer Since Crawford's Retirement: 'He's So Hard to Beat' (2026)

In the world of boxing, the debate over who is the best fighter is always a hot topic. Now that Terence Crawford has retired, Shakur Stevenson has a new favorite. But here's where it gets controversial... Stevenson names Dmitry Bivol as the best boxer in the sport, besides himself. While many boxing fans might disagree, Stevenson's choice is based on Bivol's traditional style and mastery of the fundamentals. Bivol's ability to keep his hands up, maintain a strong one-two, and display great footwork makes him a formidable opponent. Stevenson believes that Bivol's simplicity and effectiveness are what make him so hard to beat. However, the top spot is currently occupied by either Oleksandr Usyk or Naoya Inoue in the eyes of most fans, both of whom have become multi-weight undisputed champions while remaining undefeated. But Stevenson's choice of Bivol as the best boxer is a bold statement that is sure to spark debate and discussion among boxing enthusiasts. So, what do you think? Is Bivol really the best boxer, or is Stevenson just being biased? Let us know in the comments!
