Is Shakur the best at 135 now?

Try heeding my warnings once in awhile. Did you see what Zepeda did to Diaz? The man is clearly far better than you're giving him credit for. Have you seen what Cruz does to every other southpaw he's faced? He literally destroys them. Brutal KO of Magdaleno, brutal KO of Ramirez, did enough to beat Tank. Styles make fights, southpaws always gave Stevenson issues in the amateurs, Zepeda is a rangy volume punching very large southpaw. Isaac specializes in taking out southpaws. Mull it over before coming to the same tired ass response everyone else has.

 

Well said

Also, he couldn't even make one defence of his world title at 126. He immediately moved up after winning it, and he lost his ones at 130 on the scales after just making 2 defences, missing weight by a 1.6lbs, and was a lot bigger than Valdez and bigger than Herring who came down from 135.

He looks as big as big 147 pounder Super Boots here. Not as tall but thicker

That's a 126 pounder standing nest to a big 147 pounder

He's very skilled but beating a whopping 2 world champions in 20 fights - a bang average Herring who couldn't even hang at world level at 135 and whose only claim to fame is beating up a 122-126 past prime leprechaun Frampton in what was a huge size mismatch, and a Valdez he looked much bigger than and who clearly lost his previous fight and has been involved in half a dozen wars/life and death struggles where he's been dropped, hurt or both - warrants being rated the best fighter in the sport? Off the top of my head. Marriaga, Blue Nose Lopez, Quigg, Servania, and Conceicao all gave him hell and Loma schooled his best win Valdez in the amateurs 12-1 with a broken hand.

The best fighter in the sport over infinitely more accomplished champions who've beaten many world champions their size, bigger or much bigger, much better ones than the ones Shakur has and many of his fans deride these same way more accomplished champions and giant slayers as being ''hype jobs''

And this warrants him a higher P4P ranking than Usyk by CBS ?

Even his win over Conceicao is shrouded in controversy after he not only missed weight by 1.6lbs and didn't even attempt to get down any lower, but he went full Dre on Conceicao's testicles all night

And the fact his manager is big time gangster James Prince sets the alarm bells ringing for me for a number of reasons and rightly so.

Also, he shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the P4P top 10 rankings until he can learn to stop pulling this face all the time during his fights

And he's a grunter too

He's real good but let him earn it first

 

True P4P talents don't have a resume riddled with irrefutable asterisks, and they certainly don't have handlers, managers and trainers, protecting him with carefully calculated cherry picks every step of the way. And promoters, sycophantic commentators and gangland hoods ready to twist arms just in case **** goes wrong.

Also, it doesn't help that he looks like a constipated feral lesban.

 

Exactly. He's a good fighter. He's very skilled. We both admit that. But he's being crowned a king, just like they tried to do with those poundshop knockoff ''four kings,'' way before his coronation and he does look as big or if not only slightly smaller than welterweights Terry and Super Boots. And he does look like a male lesbian and grunt when he punches.


Notice how plus minus stats are a thing again now that he sits atop at the overall #1 spot? Loma was #1 by some distance, racking up Floyd numbers, when he was down at 126 and 130 and not facing giants who are way bigger, longer and heavier than him and he still resides at #3 and ranks very highly in many categories even though he's routinely giving away huge physical advantages, not against fighters he's a lot bigger than or bigger than or at worst the same size as and he's racked up/racking those numbers against far superior opposition than both the #1 and #2 are (Benavidez is the other who is also huge for the weight).

 

And how ironic would it be if Shakur fights Loma and Loma beats him, all of the Loma haters will be out en masse, screaming that he had to drag up a natural featherweight and give him zero credit for it, who they'll conveniently not notice is the size of a Light Middleweight.

 

I never even thought of that. Probably because I've always known how small Loma is and how Shakur looked noticeably bigger than Loma even back when they sparred when Loma was at 130 and Shakur was at 126.

It's bad enough the fact he looks like a lesbian but to also grunt when you punch and only sport a KO 50% when you're very big for the weight classes you campaign in is unforgivable. And he throws that constant pawing sneaky way to stiff-arm jab nonstop which I can't stand. I haven't paid any attention to his ring attire and CCA yet but it's something I need to look into ASAP
