Shakur suddenly becomes a shoo in to beat Tank? Since when?

[IronDanHamza]

I hope they fight when both are prime I don't want excuse makers like Big Dunn and Iron Dan trying to give full credit for beating a 45 year old

You mean like you did when you gave Toney full credit for beating a 41 year old Evander Holyfield?

Does it ever get embarrassing for you being the biggest and most pathetic hypocrite on this site?

[real raw]

Shakur was able to survive vs. De Los Santos, who's similar to Davis but is slightly taller/longer. I'm not saying that Davis is incapable of stopping Shakur, but he cannot afford to be offensively lazy. He needs to be ready to feint and throw decoy punches to coerce Shakur into engagement, rather than waiting and capitalizing on what Shakur gives him. If Davis is not ready to let his hands go, then Shakur may very well slow the fight down to a crawl and make Davis look the worst he's ever looked. I think Zepeda has the best chance to give Shakur fits.

Excellent points.

I could see Shakur becoming this generation's Floyd in that he's going to have to stay undefeated to keep folks watching him and he's going to plan on his career based on staying undefeated. I can see him avoiding true threats because once he loses, nobody will tune in to watch again. His style is a good sleep aid and I can attest that it worked once or twice on me perfectly.

Shakur is almost 28 and hasnt beat nobody. Floyd beat a lot of good fighters by 28. Floyd was a significantly better fighter in every department than Shakur. I dont see Shakur easily defeating pac never having to leave first gear like floyd did.

Would Shakur also be on steroids in this hypothetical?

I’ll tell you what ; he was milder by Floyd so that don’t say much about Floyd’s character
But as a fighter , Tank’s name should not be mentioned with Floyd’s

Floyd made him into what he became. That is the unfortunate truth.

Absolutely right

I think he'd knock Shakur the absolute hell out.

I don't care how skilled he is or he is supposed to be he just straight up doesn't have the power to command Tanks respect in my opinion.
I think Tank would just walk through his a$$, straight up.

The Martin fight all over again really only Martin actually has a bit of pop.

I'll virtually always take who I feel is the better technical boxer but this for me simply comes down to Tank can take whatever Shakur has and Shakur isn't going to like what comes back. You're not playing keep away for 12 rounds against Tank. He was like a cat 5h!tt1ng razor blades vs Dos Santos the hell he gonna be like vs Tank? Fool will probably run out the ring.

Damn right
I think Shakur won’t be able to answer anything Tank has for him and will not be able to run for 12

A prized tuna caught off the coast of Japan has very rare qualities that make it worth a fortune... This Tuna? went for like 500k maybe more... Because even amongst the best tuna caught, this tuna had rare fat content in the belly, etc...

Tank has that same set up because of his power... People forget how rare real game changing power is amongst the lighter weight classes... Pitbull who hits hard, and I believe is excellent does not come close to that power that Tank has. So naturally when we really look at Shakur one has to consider Tank is able to make Shakur retreat and to catch him. I agree with you. If Tank is really losing he can make Shakur engage...

[billeau2]

Tank is a bad match for Shakur. For Shakur to set traps he has to engage Tank, if he starts chasing a puncher or if he stops a split second to admire his work Tank is smart enough to catch him. Real elite level boxers have power... Even Camacho who gets accused of being a runner could nail you when he felt he really needed to do so.
