    I agree with Benn that he has more heart and balls than Shakur.

    Shakur who was boxing at 5 years old losing to a guy that started boxing at 17 would be crazy

    Shakur wins every single round against Eggs Benny, although I do think 147 is his weight ceiling, and someone like Brian Norman beats him pretty easily and probably inside the distance.

    Benn needs to wash his mouth out if he continues to talk about people he doesn’t intend on ever fighting.

    We have all seen the level he has faced so far at his own weight class. Stop using another man’s name in vain.

    Shakur slaps the PEDs out of his system despite being the smaller guy

    Benn may be even more annoying than you are and that is really saying something. Drugs cheats don’t have heart because real ones don’t cheat by doping.

    Benn isn't that good but he has fast hands, is athletic, has knockout power and he throws very fast combinations with very good variety and accuracy and he has a great engine

    Shakur was terrified of the power of 135 pounder De Los Santos who like Benn is fast and athletic

    Shakur is obviously the more skilled boxer, the much better fighter, but I think Benn's speed, power, combinations, punch selection, variety, and accuracy would pose a real threat to him, way more so that Zepeda did.

    Most ridiculous hypothetical I've ever seen. It's borderline disrespectful to Stevenson to even talk about that "fight"

    At 147 lbs: Shakur 12-0’s Benn.

    However, Benn knocks Haney’s head off

    Benn has a skills deficit though compared to Zepeda who is well schooled.
