    Pimp man cmon Khan was the fastest in his era ... Ofcourse Floyd was fast too but with much better timing than Khan with that speed .

    Azim is also very gifted in skills .. for only being 23 , by 28 like Shakur he would of fine tuned all them raw attributes...

    Tbh I’ve not seen much of Azim, but Shakur showed elite control, range, defence, reflexes etc against a top tier fighter.
    Azim hasn’t fought a teo level fighter yet, so will have to wait and see

    That's true , also Azim not fought in the U.S yet , his last fight was on the Eubank Vs Ben 2 undercard , that was his first appearance on a Ring card..

    Adam needs to win a world title first , Shakur fight won't be any time soon ..

    For me Keyshawn Davis would be a great opponent for Davis.

    Yah, Khan was legit one of the fastest fighters I’ve ever seen.

    Floyd would have pieced him up, but the speed may have troubled him for a few rounds.

    No pbf would've been the faster fighter in the ring of both hand and foot he can throw one punch faster than Khan can. khan can throw faster combos but being able to throw 1 punch faster is more useful in a boxing match than throwing faster combos.

    Hitchens would have a chance of beating Stevenson at 140, but Azim would not.

    Others that would be interesting opponents for Shakur: G Davis, K Davis, Haney, and Smith. I'm not saying they would beat him, but they would at least have a chance of winning.

    I think Haney has the best chance of beating Shakur.

    Ryan Garcia might pose some challenges if he is on his best day. I feel Gervonta struggles too much against boxers.

    Hitchins and Keyshawn too unproven.

    Bro he hasn’t even fought any B level fighters yet and you’re saying he’d beat an A level fighter. Adam strikes me as a guy that’s good at everything but not exceptional at anything.

    then it’s best to wait and see how his career unfolds in the next few years before making that statement. I hope he’s still fighting lemos soon. It’s a good test for him

    When he’s beat some fringe world class fighters (not even champs) talk then. Until then it’s hype (same with all fighters
