SHAKUR STEVENSON, BUD CRAWFORD & KEYSHAWN DAVIS- MILLION DOLLAZ WORTH OF GAME EPISODE 364

Keyshawn Davis experienced a dark period and wasn't focused on boxing after the death of his friend, Kyrie. He even considered leaving the sport to pursue other ventures like 18-wheeler trucks. However, a spiritual awakening led him to change his name and return to boxing with a 'bigger purpose,' now fighting for something 'real' and surrounded by family and childhood coaches.

Keyshawn states, 'I was just lost... God just replaced something that just can bring this bring me out of this. And the boxing was just in my spirit, bro.' He also mentions, 'It wasn't really until my brother Kyrie died... once God put that in my spirit, I'm like, 'Yo, I'mma bounce back and everything going to be different. Everything got to change.''

Shakur Stevenson, a celebrated boxer, expressed that he no longer cares about being accepted by fans or the public. His focus has shifted entirely to how his family, friends, and immediate team perceive him, believing their validation is what truly matters after a victory. He acknowledges that public opinion often entails hate, regardless of success.

Shakur states, 'I used to care so much about like being accepted by the fans, the public. And um honestly, I think for me now, like now that it's here, I'm over that [expletive]. Like I'm more so at a point where it's like I care about how my family, my friends, and the people surrounding me feel about me.' He adds, 'They always going to hate you. They never going to not hate you. Long as you winning, you going to be hated.'

The boxers discussed the significant challenge and inspiration derived from fighters like Bud Crawford making substantial jumps across multiple weight classes. While acknowledging the difficulty and risk, Crawford's success in moving up three divisions against a larger opponent like Canelo highlighted the potential for skill to overcome size, though some skepticism remained regarding the general applicability of such feats.

Shakur Stevenson notes, 'This dude is the craziest dude I ever met in my life. Like, for him to go up that many weight classes and do that, um, it definitely was like inspirational.' He also admits, 'I was skeptical. I was broke.' The host adds, 'I never seen nobody jump up three-way classes, bro.'

Both Keyshawn Davis and Shakur Stevenson emphasized the critical importance of having a dedicated and supportive team, including coaches, family, and mentors like Jay Prince. They view a strong team as essential for success, providing guidance, stability, and keeping them 'on point' through rigorous training and career challenges.

Shakur states, 'You got to have a great team around you. Um, one man can't do everything by himself.' Keyshawn mentions being 'back with like family, like legitimate family' and his coaches knowing him since he was a kid.
