    “The next few years, people are gonna start knowing my name a lot more. I plan on taking over the sport of boxing. I’m a competitor, so there’s a lot of names in boxing out there already like Tank, Errol Spence and Terence Crawford and my goal is to compete to be better than them. The next few years are gonna be big."

    Shaker's got 2 pro fights. What the hell is wrong with this kid?

    He has more talent than all of them. Nothing wrong in what he's saying.

    He looks familiar. Is he the one that was crying like a baby when he lost at the Olympics?

    No, but it's a dumb ass thing to say that you're gonna take over the sport of boxing when you've had 2 professional fights. Maybe if he had one punch KO'd his first 2 guys, then it might warrant 10% of his statement.

    A 1 punch KO wouldn't mean anything anyway against the level of comp he was fighting in those first 2 fights. It's irrelevant.

    Nothing wrong with having a bit of ambition, I'm glad to hear he has lofty goals.

    What the hell is wrong with him?? LoooL! Come on man.. :dunno He also had absolutely no problem with Wards low blows either.

    That gross thing Clarissa Shields has how many pro fights and has already acted like an idiot and made negative headlines. And she's... buddies with Shakakan.

    I hear ya loud and clear Todd before his Ward comments you had high aspirations for the kid right...lmao.

    Condemning him based on his personal opinion regarding a previously scrutinized controversial event that was deemed legit by the powers that be is at best childish, irrational and ultimately immature.

    What does Clarissa have to do with this? Why not criticize Conner for his ignorance?

    I apologize for the rant and my passive aggressive nature, it's been tough couple of days coupled with the terror attacks our lack of tolerance has rendered me into a very bad place.

    Because Connor has actually done something and is the face of his sport?

    These grandiose claims are so off putting to anyone with a sense of place and a social conscience. This bombast only sets you up for eventual failure because falling short of actually "taking over boxing" is far more probable just ask Broner.

    Shakur might want to speak with Tank Davis because he has made the same claim. Think I may have to revisit this quote whenever these guys fail miserably at taking over the sport.

    No individual can take over the sport and if it did come to fruition it would strip the boxing from its intrigue.

    I don't see an issue with any fighter having visions of gradure, in fact without it they would lack the confidence to compete at an adequate level mentally and spiritually.

    Hahaha! :D Come on man... listen to Clarissa's comments regarding Kovalev and the way she blatantly tried to stir up something that wasn't there. And that's just one example. Just in case you haven't noticed.. Conor doesn't disrespect people UNTIL they go on the attack towards him.

    And this Shakakan individual has said dumb crap before the Kovalev comments too. I won't post them but he has.
