I like Shakur and when it comes to Natural Reflexes and Defensively he can Mimic some of the things that Floyd was able to do but none of these young fighters come close to Young Prime "Pretty Boy" Floyd who not only had the incredible defense but he was also getting stoppages and letting his hands go

Pretty boy sort of similar to shakur va what’s his name. The long time American champ at 30. If he can clean divisions he can maybe be up there. I’m a manny fan and bias ranks him above Floyd but I respect the crap out of Floyd. I just feel he had the a side always and could pick/choose opponents, fight them at advantageous times in their career. Many went after Spence for his retirement fight and I have to respect that more than a mcgregor fight. But I also understand the denero that came with the fight. So I don’t hate on money anymore, it’s just personal preference.UniqueBoxing likes this.

Nonsense.
Same dogwank that blamed Shakur for stepping on Nakathila toes, but the truth was Nakathila stepped on Shakurs does 300% more.
Why don't you steal another one of my gifs and say it's yours!

Shakur has the skill set to be great, but he also need to have a little bit more personality. I think lack of personality cost Bud Crawford a lot of money and now he's soon will be 35 years old, trying to get his first big payday. Shakur has to beat everyone at 135 and then 140 and make himself known to the casuals in order to have that Mayweather type of career.

I agree with bob’s assessment here and I disagree with the comment that Shakur needs more “personality “ smh honestly just perfect the craft first and foremost, we don’t need a broner 2.0. As Stevenson climbs the p4p rankings than add some charisma to his game because I see him getting on it before long. Craft first craft tLast edited by Slip jab; 10-09-2022, 09:26 PM.

To get as big as Floyd you need more than boxing ability, the Manny rivalry is what spiralled them both into a public presence very few fighters can attain, its all to easy to just be one of the top guys and never stand out, got to have that public rocket fuel under your burner or you will just simmer.
