    Out of the current lw contenders, who do we think Shakur can beat should he move up.

    Loma: outclasses shakur. Teo: too strong and stops shakur. Kambosos: drops shakur. Haney: just too big and bullies shakur. Tank: gets outboxed by Shakur and taken to decision Ryan: gets outboxed by Shakur and dropped

    Hard to say, with time and filling in at the weight he has a shot against them all.

    Teo however is likely done at 135
    Loma only getting older
    Kambosas hard to say where his level is, great fight vs Teo not sure if it was a fluke
    Haney is talented but still proving himself though I am optimistic
    Tank has been stagnant not fighting the elites around him
    Garcia has one really good win and is still in the proving phase

    Loma is the only guy with a real consistent high class body of work and he is also old and injury prone

    The others have not strung together consistent high level wins. Tank maybe has the second best stretch though its still not great.

    I think thats what makes this weight class and surrounding cast interesting is that most are young and relatively inexperienced at the highest level but show high ceilings as far as ability. I couldnt say for sure that Shakur would reach the top of the heap but he certainly would not be out of his depth either
