                      I think Floyd should have waited till after the olympics were over or after Shakur won gold to approach him. Now Shakur has tons on pressure on him to perform for and impress Floyd.

                          So you'd agree any promotional outfit signing guys before the Olympics are over is potebtially detrimental to their careers?

                              I'll be supporting Stevenson but I think he'll get beat handily

                                  No but in this case I think it is. Shakur is very young and still not mature enough (in my opinion) to be able to handle the pressure of both focusing on winning gold and knowing that someone like Floyd Mayweather is closely watching you.

                                      If he loses it'll be cause Ramirez is too good. It's not about the pressure. Won't be worse than when he fought the Brazilian dude the crowd was crazy
