    I take it you're also more of a Kurosawa guy

    He’s not as unbeatable as you think. But I do give Haney the best chance and think he will pull it off

    Haney might. That’s why I really want that fight to happen. Very important legacy fight for both.

    No way he retires at 33 he will be out of money. Outside of boxing IQ he is as dumb as a box of rocks so I don't think he is capable of doing anything else.

    Not at the catch weight he wants specially when he's willing to go all the way up for benn

    This is GREAT news. Watching him fight is about as exciting as watching paint dry.

    That is a coincidence, I was planning on retiring from watching Shakur at age 33 (bonus, I'm 33 already!)

    Well when compared to Ozu, both their films have high level stuff happening with directing and all of that. However, there's a certain more immediate feel to Kurosawa's movies.

    Similar to how elite fighters like Loma or Usyk would always go in for the kill despite having top level skills to avoid danger all fight like Shakur.

    I hope I got my analogies right lol

    He might as well be retired now, I will never tune in to watch him he's a fencing specialist.

    Many make these sort of proclamations in their 20s and very few stick to them. In one's 20's one does not have a perceptive understanding of how fast years will go by later in one's life. The younger you are the larger % every year is of your overall life and thus the longer it seems.
