    Can Shakur hang at lightweight?

    I was watching some old sparring with him and Haney. I know he's only 17-0, seems like they're bringing him up slow but curious if people think he can keep winning at lightweight. He does seem small for the weight.

    Easily and likely beats them all.

    That sparring with Haney, looked like Shakur got the better of him to me.

      He looks to be a natural lite weight. He could go up to 147 at the most but it will be his boxing and speed that will win for him.

        I thought he got the better of it too. The kid is a sharp shooter, I'm anticipating seeing him fighting better opponents. I saw an interview years ago from Garcia that said Shakur used to whoop on him and Haney when they were younger.

        He just looks so skinny to keep moving up. We'll see I guess.

            I subscribe to this too. I’m not a fan of Shakur but he’s a truly special talent.
