You said it right when you said decent journeymen on his resume, that doesn't qualify nor add an iota of credence to his statement.
If the best name on your resume is ranked # 49 in the world, and Rice was elevated to # 49 on the strength of his two unexpected wins against Michael Coffie.
Coffie ironically was also undefeated at the time, and probably had the same thoughts in his mind as Shaw has, but didn't have the audacity to say it.
Once Coffie loss to Rice, he lost an immediate rematch to him, and suffered a technical knockout loss to a fighter with a 3-0 record in his last fight.
That's the reason you shouldn't get ahead of yourself in the game of boxing, where much is promised, much is sacrificed but seldom few are rewarded.
Here's a tall salute to all of the fighters who given their all, some even their lives, you have are gratitude, admiration, and respect.
