I know. It’s just sometimes we gotta respond to others in the same logic they use. This guy is saying Shakur is just using Tank’s name like Shakur is some unknown journeyman.

Well , I’d say Tank is much more famous than Shakur
Maybe I should say followed

You are correct. Even Shakur acknowledged that fact and stated he is ok with a 65-35 purse split in favor of Tank “or whatever” as long as he isn’t shortchanged.

And just to be clear, I fully understand that people get mad about a guy being a counter-puncher but that is what the guy is.

With only a touch of comparison, it's not like most people weren't mad at Floyd for doing his job really well in the latter part of his career but we still rate him as highly as we do with very little debate.

Just to be clear, I am not mad at Shakur. He is what he is, an evasive boxer and a counter puncher. What I find silly are these expectations that somehow he is going to beat up someone good and that one day he will really open up and let his hands go. He will beat them but he will not beat them up. All his fights go the same way and for me they are boring to watch.

Safe to assume Tank wont get anywhere near Shakur for the time being so all the smoke goes to 'El Camaron' now.

Stevenson is the obvious favorite but Zepeda aint no late replacement electrician thats fo sho lol. Oscar needs to make it real next.

Did he really?? If so, he can't be accused of pricing himself out....

A flat fee just means Tank does not want that smoke.

Shakur needs to put his foot down and say I’m going after one guy , no matter who that guy is
First he says I want Zepeda which will be a springboard to get the Tank fight and then retracts and says he’ll dump the fight with Zepeda for Tank
I truly understand that this is the business aspect of boxing but so far hasn’t gotten him any closer to either fighter
This sounds like Slow Eddie’s blueprint of negotiations as we’ve seen him pull this chit in the past only to have his fighter either on a shelf or fighting some British domestic fighter
