Agree 100%. Unless he develops a flamboyant personality like Floyd and takes on the bad guy persona he's destined to end up like Ward at best.
That is his only hope. While he's superb in the ring, he isn't exciting in or out of it. Early Floyd was knocking guys out. He's also one ugly dude.
Don't expect Shakur to become a PPV star, little to no chance.

And that's why he's being set up to fail. Not having Valdez fight him and top rank electing to make a Valdez Berchelt fight instead of Herring Berchelt and Valdez Stevenson shows Top Rank still doesn't have faith in the black fans.
Yeah or Valdez didnt wanna lose to Stevenson and figured he'd take his chances with Berchelt instead.
But let's throw the race thing out there just in case my man.
