    He's not saying that he is the biggest name in boxing, he's saying that he will [plans to] be.

    How could you possible find that statement wierd coming from a prospect? And especially a decorated American prospect?

    I agree, he's a very talented kid, but more pure talent than Crawford and Spence NOW, come on.:lol: The Tank Davis comparison, I maybe could agree with, but he's nowhere near the level of either of them, and quite frankly based on what I saw from him the other day, the first true pressure fighter he faces, he may very well get steamrolled.

    That's a good mind set to have, but I don't see it happening. He can probably be champion someday, and he may be a champion more than once with all these titles floating around, but taking over? I don't see it at all.

    wtf are you talking about nightmares. I know how to write his name. So many people kept calling him Lomo that it stuck. Same with folks calling Wladimir Klitschko, Vlad. It's not as amusing to you as it is to me? Then too bad.

    Vlad/Vova actually is a diminutive of Wladimir. As Sasha is of Alexander and Dima of Dmitri.

    I like his confidence .. but from what I seen in his fight the other day he did not look impressive to be honest. he may not even win a belt :/

    I watched his fight just to see what he looked like as pro. I wasn't all that impressive at all. He def has the skills but no killer instinct yet. He seems too kid-ish.

    he hasn't adjusted from the ams.. he will probably improve as he ages cause hes still young. but from what I seen unless he runs into a weak world champion I ain't sure he will ever be a elite fighter.. could turn out to be a medoicore world champ with a few defences I suppose but I think that's his ceiling.

    Not that high on Shakur, not sure he's cut out for the pro game. Hope he can prove me wrong.

    NO! Seen him fight three times, underwhelming each time.

    It's the truth, there are a lot of things that you can say about Shakur, but you can't **** on him based on fighters that haven't accomplished anything.
