    Arguably the greatest defensive fighter I have ever seen. Tremendous timing, the best at judging distance, and a tremendous counter puncher

    Until he steps up we don't know......

    Loma is the most skilled fighter I have ever seen but at 135lbs against these (post hydration) giants I am not sure he has enough.

    Calm down, he just beat a limited opponent that made him look good.

    He's pretty much beaten everyone he's fought with ease. He's an elite fighter.

    "With that win, Shakur cements his legacy at lightweight and clearly moves ahead of Roberto Duran on the all time lightweight list" -ESPN probably

    He's the best at 135lbs for me, I want to see him in against Loma. But lets not get crazy, he maybe this generations Mayweather but best defensive fighter ever? Nah he's not fought the level of comp yet to prove he's even on the short list of fighters that deserve that accolade.

    without question he is elite, 135 is also loaded. I think he can beat the very best guys in the division, I just wont anoint him until he does

    I hope Haney beats Lomachenko and sets up a great Haney vs Stevenson match up

    Yeah.. I hate to admit it as Tank is my favorite fighter in the game, but Shakur is the best.

    I really did enjoy that performance. Lightweight is fit to burst with good fighters, what a great division.
