    Puerto Rican vs Mexican wars definitely entertaining

    hopefully, Shakur will remember his papi is boricua & that his Momma let him down by naming him after a dead rapper LOL

      He coulda came up with something better though. Saying your retiring after an absolute dreadful performance just had people breathe a sigh of relief lol

        *Poll*: Hans Themistode is most likely from:

        1. Denmark (or other Scandinavian country)
        2. Russia
        3. Germany
        4. Kazakhstan (or other former Soviet republic)
        5. Somewhere Else (you specify)

          I could see Zepeda's volume asking some questions of Shakur he's not been asked yet as a pro.

          I wish Shakur didn't do this goofy retiring sh^t & just booked a fight & tested his free agency options which could be a one off GBP deal to fight Zepeda.

            Shakur being a free agent is the worst thing. He has a big ego. He's turned down frank Martin and Haney cause he felt entitled to more money. Nobody is gonna throw the money he wants at him especially coming off a shlt performance. Don't even think Hearn would pay him all the money he wants

              Not many ppl are getting as much as they want.

              The only goal with free agency is to test your value. And logically when you are a talented guy like Shakur its 100% always gonna be better to have 2 or 3 ppl bidding on your services than just 1. Competition for your services are a plus for guys like Shakur.

              Anyone who puts too much stock in how sh^t the EDLS fight was has limited sight on how big Shakur could be if hes moved well vs other names & quality cats.

                  Oscar, you're part of the reason he's so pissed! Pitbull, Zepeda, and Martin, all swerved Shakur, so he ended up with De Los Santos! Then Loma and Navarrette swerved him too! He's been chasing that Navarrette fight since he was at 126!

                    Yeah but that's investing on a guy who's had boring fights before against lesser competition. If you have to keep giving him money to fight mediocre opponents and h3 keeps having boring performances AND doesn't put asses in seats then he's just getting overpaid. Idk Shakur definitely needs to lower his price range though

                      I'm not interested in watching any more Stevenson fights.
