Who do u think would give shakur a tougher figher, josh or kid? I kno josh beat him but which style would shakur struggle with more. I kno its a bit off topic but ive always felt shakur is a lil over rated. Maybe a bit of a weight bully. Just wondering who has better chance of beating him

both beat him in my opinion but warrington does it easier, possibly stops him late

Hopefully we get these fights b4 he moves up. I live 10 minutes from were he grew up so the opinion i hear is how great he is. I think hes got great amateur pedigree but he hasnt impressed me. I wonder if he will add the power dimension when he moves up. I must admit warrington has impressed me past few years. On paper his kos were deceptive. Hes tough guy i enjoy watching. Thnx 4 input.

Galahad is a very strange fighter.

Within the space of a minute, he can look like a very dirty fighter and a spoiler, then he can look excellent and show great skill.

One thing i’ll say, is he’s obviously talented, but he also knows every trick in the book when it comes to fighting dirty/sneaky, even down to the stepping on the foot. He lives in the gym, literally never takes a day of it seems, so it’s like he’s picked up so many little tricks.

I actually thought he beat Warrington, but it was such a none event as a fight that i didn’t care he never got the decision. I still felt he won more rounds, as ugly as it was.

Galahad will be a hard fight for anyone. Has a lot of skill, but a bit of a bully too. Nobody is going to have an easy time or walk through him.

So we all agree, finally. The Kid has a bag of dirty tricks. I don't like the rasslin, but he changes it up, so he's not boring.

Nice description. Ill give em a shot. Appreciate it.

I concur with that description, I always like to watch stylish fighters and switch hitters, and he can look good when he gets going and punches with both hands. (Personality wise he can seem like a bit of a **** head, and he came up with a joke of an excuse for his drugs ban - he blatantly doped).
He can be very negative and spoiling though. He got a lot of criticism for his negative performance in his world title shot. Some people though he won, but he boxed very cagily throughout and didn’t do enough to take the belt home.
The other thing to point out is that he doesn’t punch particularly hard, unlike his stable mate Brook, but he is physically strong.

Appreciate ur feedback. Got a ? For u since u seem like and unbiased knowledgeable poster. I have rewatched loma fights and have just watched his footwork. Besides him and rigo who do u think r current fighters with the best footwork i can watch and study. I feel amazing footwork is most overlooked attribute. It can neutralize handspeed and power and can create offense and improve defense. Lmk a few guys if u can

Yeah id agree loma is the best at that, usyk is pretty good and golovkin is good at cutting off the ring with his. Then obviously pacquiao! And thanks mate.

I scored it 114-114,but my thinking was if any deserved to win it was Galahad. That being said, it was a horrid fight to watch and around 8 of the 12 rounds were very hard to score. I think it's a bad style match up fight. Warrington can be in some really exciting fights, Galahad can have moments of excitement, but is more of a get the job done kind of guy. I'd still like a rematch as Galahad deserves it, but think it would be more of the same as a viewing experience, so would rather watch one of them against Stevenson first.
