    No question about it. Shakur hasn't got anything to keep Super Boots off him and Super Boots is too powerful, fast and creative with his offence

    the replies are actually crazy to me. I think Shakur is so much better than Boots, its not even comparable. The main consensus from you guys is that Shakur is better defensively and Boots is better offensively, which I agree with... HOWEVER.
    A SKILL perspective, like the title says, lets say Boots is an 8 out of 10 in the offensive department. Id give Shakur a 7. skills wise, they arent like crazy miles apart offensively. Just that one has the power and is more offensive minded.

    Defense, Shakur is a 9.6/10 and Boots is like a 2. lol. Whilst the offensive SKILL isnt too far apart, Boots defense is so trash its silly even comparing those 2.

    Shakur is miles and miles ahead of Ennis in the skills department, Shakur imho is top 3 in all of boxing right now in pure skills, whereas Boots, I always thought he's mad overrated and is 1 bad match up away from being exposed

    Their skills and resumes are still developing. Additionally, challenges may emerge that expose holes in their skill sets. Their bodies of work are still limited, so we shall see and learn more about them over their careers.

    Shakur's offense is a 5 while his defense is a 9. Boots offense is a 9 while his defense is like a 6. If we average out the two numbers, its a 7 for Shakur and a 7.5 for boots. Boots clears by a slight margin.

    Teo is inept on the front foot and Zepeda was a competitive fight
