Nothing personal against Taylor he was a very good fighter and I appreciate his warrior like mindset. Hes like a Jermell Charlo type. Good fighter who becomes undisputed in a weak weight class
Shakur isn't fighting anyone of any note. You trash the fighters Taylor fought whilst simultaneously hyping up the likes of Herring, Valdez, Santos and Zepeda It took Shakur 9 rounds to get rid of an electrician/part time boxer who was literally wiring a block of flats when he received the offer to fight him on 4 days notice without any semblance of camp He literally stunk out the joint so bad vs Santos his own home fans booed him and were leaving the venue in their droves before the fight was even over He doesn't run and stink out the joint vs Zepeda and people want to erect a statue of him, award him the Medal of Honor, and give him the keys to the city. If he went to war just once like our boys do for fun every weekend he would develop PTSD and never dare step foot in a ring again
Oscar Valdez is better than Regis Prograis Jamel Herring is similar if not better than EE Reality is Shakur is just a much better fighter than Taylor Is Jose Ramirez even better than Edwin De Los Santos? Or William Zepeda Reality is Shakur is just a much better fighter than Josh Taylor ever was
Standing in front of you opponent is the bare minimum requirement for our boys. We don't pins medals to their lapels for not running like a petrified gazelle. You watch British domestic dust ups and 9 times out of 10 they deliver. Going to war is our default setting
Oscar Valdez is not better than Rougarou Herring might be better than EE but Taylor is a shell of his former self Yes, he is. Zepeda arguably lost to Farmer and was dropped and hurt by him in both fights (KD in the rematch not counted) despite the fact Farmer sports a hideous KO 28% and couldn't punch the wings of a geriatric moth And Shakur was terrified of Santos' power
No they do not. They tend to go to war an awful lot. Have you even watched any British domestic dust ups before? It's like watching two Mexicans on methamphetamine
I was a fan of Valdez and I've watched a lot of his fights. He's been in life and death struggles about 8-9 times and been hurt or dropped in most or almost all of them, including numerous times vs opponents who were below world level
Huh? Crawford punched Khan in the testicles, the same Khan who fought everyone and went out on his shield every other time when he got knocked out AJ did not quit vs Fat Andy. He picked himself off the canvas x 4 and still wanted more even though he was badly discombobulatized Parker suffered an injury Dubois suffered a broken orbital socket, the same Dubois who fought for 2 rounds on a torn ACL before winning via stoppage, who overcame plenty of adversity vs Hrgovic and the 300lb + Miller He was knocked out x 2 vs Usyk. That's not quitting
