    They’re around the same weight aren’t they? Who wins?

    Fritzie Zivic was really brave and had a bunch of wars, I will say that his victory over LaMotta surpasses all of Shakur's victories, so for now I choose him...

    Zivic is quite bigger, we’ll have to see how Stevenson does if he eventually moves up that far.

    Hi Buddy.
    Must confess don't know a lot about Shakur, what I do know is, if you are going to put your fighter at any stage of their career,in with Zivic you better get your towel at the ready, ambulance booked, couple of days booked into a nice quiet room, and stop the kids from visiting him for a week or so, Greb is often cited as the dirstest, that may well be the case, so Zivic must be a very close second, given that all, or most fighters have no fear of what the ring as to offer, Zivic is the mount rushmore of that breed, size, weight, record, style, all meant not a jot to Fritzie, he relished getting up close to the bigger, slower, fighters, once inside he would unleash his trademark uppercuts, the punches that shredded Armstrong's face, and many more foes, from what we read, your best chance of a win is to get on your bike, jab, move, jab, etc, it would be a very brave fighter indeed to stand and fight on the inside, if you are a caring manager you would let Zivic go by, to fest on another pitless rival.
    stay safe CroBox29, chat soon.

    I think it would depend on the time period as in one period they let rough/dirty tactics play out and another period they don't
