    Was 140 weak when Taylor was champ? I think by tweener standards 140 in that era was fairly good.

    Even if what you say is true (it isn't) and there has been a few incredibly rare instances of Brits quitting, there are things worse than quitting

    Like having a sub 40 KO% (Shakur is heading in that direction fast)

    Grunting when you punch

    Grunting when you punch whilst sporting a sub KO 50%

    Running

    Getting knocked down, knocked out or wobbled by a jab

    Having below average punch resistance

    Shakur has ticked a lot of those boxes. Not all yet but if he does go onto tick them all I want a formal apology from you for implying that Brits quit

    The "bad era" ragebait needs to be nerfed. It's such a lazy argument yet simultaneously really hard to disprove.

    Punch resistance is literally the single most important factor in the sport of boxing

    I didn't say he did. I said he has already ticked a lot of those boxes not ticked them all
