Shakur & Ennis Prove That The Boxing Community Cannot be satisfied.

You have it correct in my opinion way too many fans of certain boxers and not enough fans of boxing itself, I wonder how many people on this site have been to fights amateur or professional or really know a little bit about the business side of boxing like matchmaking??

 

Shakur is proven at the highest level, but is boring.

Ennis doesn't belong in the same sentence tbh.

 

I find it interesting that Terrance Crawford is both a great boxer and a great fighter knockout artist he ticks all the box's yet most of the American fans on here do not like him the majority of them were on team Spence and have made nothing but excuses since Crawford destroyed him.

 

Crawford laid Avanysan out flat. Ennis also didn't fight the same as Crawford. Crawford almost always fights in the danger zone and with his style he's always going to get hit. He invites offense so he can counter with combinations. It's a lot riskier than countering with potshots. Crawfords entire style is centered on punching with his opponents and banking on landing his shots first.

 

You’re enlightened, maybe at Shakurs next fight, you can try to convince everyone to stay til the end…..

I dont see any one say Shakur isn’t good, just that he’s boring, and has a mostly negative style when he fights anyone who might really be a threat to him so far.

Ennis is good and exciting…. Probably not on Shakurs overall skill level, honestly, but he’s much more of a professional both in and outside of the ring…

I appreciate the skills of Shakur, but he really is boring, and he seems to really lack character too.

They’re pro athletes, they’re going to be criticized, and when you try to make a smug remark about “I wonder if these people really know anything about boxing” maybe consider the several championship caliber fighters that have also made some of the same criticisms of these guys………

 

Yep. I am a Crawford fan. I did, however, call the Spence/Crawford fight 50/50 going in. I did add the caveat, that whoever can adapt better will most likely win and that Spence, to that point never really needed to adapt. So, that was the unknown factor. We found out, Spence cannot adapt and never had a plan B.

 

Shakur's Masterclass? Masterclass seems to be thrown out a lot when it is just one guy doing enough to win a rnd.

 

Yeah fair enough but even before the Spence fight Crawford was not appreciated by the US fan despite being better than all of his countrymen.

 

Spence's punch resistance looked gone in the fight before Crawford.

 

Ennis looked good. In the rbr I was surprised that there was so much criticism. It was obvious that the plan was to go all out attack...which means he wasn't overly concerned with defense

 

You lost me at Shakur "not losing any rounds"
