    Both Shakur and Bam looked very impressive in their last fights. Besides Usyk and Crawford I think Shakur and Bam are the most skilled
    southpaws fighting today.

    Between the two who would you say is the more skilled technician in your opinion?

    The other 2 don't belong in the same sentence as Uysk

    Usyk is clearly beyond Shakur and Bam in terms of pure technical skill but they aren’t too far behind.

    Shakur and Bam are pretty close together skill-wise and P4P.

    I need to see more from both but I prefer Bam's style. Seems to be defensively responsible while also letting his hands go. Yes Shakur did that last fight but that isn't something he does often.

    Shakur doesn't belong in the same sentence as Rodriguez.

    Shakur is usually boring and overly-defensive, and feather-fisted. Rodriguez is exciting and a complete fighter - he does everything well.
