Stop being hypocritical. Your entire "opinion" is an assumption. At least I'm basing things on the facts available to use. You saying that a young guy can be dangerous because somehow he's more 'hungry' than the elder opponents. How is that not comical, because when most critics evaluate and give their predictions, they normally give the edge to experience when all other things cancel out. Again, Shakur is 27 years of age. He's not exactly old himself. Trying to use age as a means to argue Schofield is tougher than Shakur's previous opponents doesn't hold water because with the exception of Herring, none of his opponents were on their way out the door. And I checked. Santos is 2 years younger than Shakur. A man who struggled to be productive vs Shakur with a hand injury. Maybe had Santos had more experience, he would have had the IQ of knowing what to do to get the victory that night.....

Schofield hasn't even fought a contender to even evaluate how well he would perform on a much bigger stage. He's never been a main even. Hell, he's only had one fight that was scheduled for 12 rounds. His age is not an advantage. For a man to claim he is so knowledgeable of the sport (to know you ****), I don't know why I have to point out the obvious to you. You know who else knows their ****? Teddy Atlas, Tim Bradley, Andre Ward, Floyd Mayweather Sr., even some of Shakur's peers like Devin Haney, and Jamell Herring.......each of those name predicted Shakur to win the fight handily. None of them suggested that Scholfield was more dangerous than any other opponent that Shakur has faced. They didn't say he would wash them as Floyd is talented. No different from Frank Martin fighting Tank Davis.

Now, making a case for size makes more sense. Shakur is a big lightweight. Given his defensive skillset vs the size of his opponents gives him a huge upper hand. Even if one is to believe he has no power, him being bigger gives him a little more impact on his punches vs smaller opposition. But then I'll have to point out that even that notion doesn't work because with the exception of Oscar Valdez & Toka Khan Clary, every opponent Shakur has faced since 2020 have been 5'8 and above.

You were quick to point out I have a lot of assumptions, then respond with a nothing but assumptions. Floyd has more power than Shakur? Based on what. For a man who knows his ****, can you tell me how many guys Floyd has stopped that didn't have a losing record, was stopped before, &/or has lost more than 10 fights. Go look at Shakur's opponents in his first 15 bouts vs Floyd's opponents in his first 15. You'll notice Shakur never fought anyone with a losing record. You'll notice Shakur fought former contenders and/or champions, meanwhile Floyd build his career on journeymen. Floyd had a stretch where he fought Mike Fowler (7-35), Danny Flores (15-22-1), Daryl Hayes (7-15), & Roberto Monreal (10-14)........ Mike Fowler alone has more losses than all of Shakur's opponents combined......... But because Floyd beat up on these guys, he's supposed to be stronger than Shakur?.......Make it make sense.

So what if it's an assumption not everything in boxing is logical I had a gut feeling that Schofield was going to give Shakur hell and I never said Shakur was old I just said Schofield is younger. Sometimes prospects get thrown in the deep end and they either sink or swim.

Dude. Do you even pay attention to what you respond with...... YOU were the one trying to discredit everything I was saying stating it was an assumption.... But I point out that you simply are 'assuming' just like I am, thus I said, "stop being hypocritical"......Now your response is "So what if it's an assumption......".....

Are you just here for attention for actual boxing conversations. I can't stand people who simply argue for the sake of arguing......

Hey buddy my assumption was Schofield would give Shakur a tough fight and going by Shakur’s performance I don’t think I was far off the mark. You are making assumptions about my opinions and what you think they are based on. I guess using the same word for different things can be confusing for some people but it is not incorrect. I wouldn’t be here for 13 years if it was just for attention I am here because I love to discuss boxing with other knowledgeable fans and if thet leads to a debate that is ok too we are not always going to agree.

I'm not your buddy and I don't care to continue this conversation with you. You clearly just like to hear yourself speak so I won't be reading anything else you respond with in this conversation. Nothing you stated eliminates the logic and facts I originally brought to this conversation, yet, were passionate on suggesting that my 'assumptions' have less merit simply because you don't agree with it. You can talk in circles all you want. I'm moving on. Enjoy your weekend.
