    No, I was including Frank Martin with Zepeda and Pitbull. All 3 swerved Shakur! At least Martin got a Tank fight out of it!

      Shakur's biggest mistake was, is, and at this point forever will be that HE, not Haney, decided to refuse to take the undisputed fight last year. Say whatever he wants, the fact remains that he had the choice of becoming the undisputed which would've gotten him a significantly higher pay and many more opponents willing to face him. Call him an opportunist but in the end Haney jumped on the chance to get an easy undisputed status, while Shakur made short-sighted complaints and passed on the golden chance.

      Shakur may have a high boxing IQ but he isn't smart in business.

        Imo , someone has gotten into his ear cause Stevenson wasn’t always like this
        The fact that he’s leaving Top Rank or supposedly , makes me wonder if that same promoter who’s gotten other fighters out of fighting for major titles is at fault here
        Not hard to understand

          I love skills bro. But running and not engaging is not the same as great defense. Sorry you cant see that. I wasnt refering to Haney as much as Stevenson.

            Let's no forget Bob Arum offer Peanuts to make it seem they didn't want the fight. Come on grow up already. So per your logic, Shakur ducked Haney. Shakur didn't take Haney peanut offer.

              GOTCHA!! I was about to call you out on that like “hold up, Frank pulled out of a signed fight!!”

                  Nah, my bad, not what I meant! In hindsight, Frank "The Ghost" got a better fight! Zepeda and Pitbull did NOT!

                    Where does it say "Zepeda" swerve Shakur?
                    Zepeda and Oscar De La Hoya is not the same person.

                      165lb Haney is different than 145 Haney. A move to welter is imminent, me thinks.

                      I don't know how he was squeezing down to 135.
