Comments Thread For: Tapping The Brakes on Shakur Stevenson's Lightweight Hype

[Inoue Body Shot]

If Top Rank makes Shakur Stevenson vs the Haney vs Loma winner next that will be an amazing fight!!

Pacquiao won 3 rounds at best with segments where he didn't even bother throwing.

Chino was fighting dirty with ineffective aggression.

Floyd had one arm against Castillo.

Oscar got washed for at least 7 rounds.

Burton? Floyd couldn't keep dude off him. Same with Jesus Chavez (like Chino, but fought clean).

Oscar did not get washed.

Plenty of people at the time thought he won or at least deserved a draw.

There is a thread for everyone on here claiming they're fraud and over rated. You'e got this thread. There was a thread hating on Haney one for Tank one for Garcia Canelo etc

You do know you can want more than one fighter to win right, that you can rate all of them as good fighters right

Fury Usyk Wilder AJ all great for the heavyweight division and they've all achieved different goals

Canelo is a top fighter
Benavidez is great
Crawford Spence are great fighters why care who wins along as they finally fight
Haney Tank Garcia Loma Teo Shakur are all top fighters

you don't need to make a thread hating on one cause you think your favourite is better

Because they hated Floyd and gave Oscar more credit for close rounds.

Have you ever been in a real fight?

On the streets?

Go for what you know, playa.

My dad is a 76 year old preacher who was raised by a trainer in Detroit in the fifties. I went to 19 schools in 6 states before the 9th grade. I fought my whole life bare knuckle whenever wherever until I was married. My last street fight was in 2002 in a gas station parking lot in Beaumont Texas. Dude pulled a knife on me and I beat the brakes off of him. I let him get up every time and still won. I don't have to hit a man while he's down to win. That's what cowards do.
But you do you.

Nobody really hated Floyd in 2007, this was before "Money".

He was just another slick black defensive fighter back then.

Well, good for you.

Most people aren't letting you get up these days if youre fighting.

Hell, letting people get up today will usually mean they're getting up with a gun or a at least a knife, so I'd say you're lucky your friend in Beaumont, Texas wasn't strapped with a glock or you'd be done for.

But keep on thinking you're Chuck Norris or some shxt, you gonna run into somebody strapped one day

The F they didn't. Remember, that was full heel Floyd who would trash talk future HoF'ers to their face and disrespect people like Brian Kenny on national TV.

I haven't fought since then because I smashed dudes face up and felt horrible about it to this day. My goal is to protect family and loved ones but I quit letting words get to me. I choose to grow as a human and I try to live by the laws of God, not the jungle. I realize I can't punch a bullet. I have a moral and ethical code. It's a burden but I'm hoping it works out.
