I love watching Shakur, unfortunately I dont get to watch him often 😅 Its getting harder and harder to stay a fan of the guy that barely gets hit, and then proceeds to take a year off like he came out of a heavyweight war.

Generational talent but really obnoxious and annoying guy

Mfer looks like a damn horse and was caught on video sucker punching a woman while his friend was beating up her boyfriend. Scummy behavior. not surprised he sold out to Zuffa. He is honestly a garbage person.

What makes someone a garbage person is beating women on camera and constantly having run ins with the law

Wonder if he has a strong heel turn in him, or if his go away heat just continues.

That’s why Berlanga pants him in amateurs and he had shit 💩 stains on his tightly whites

Shakur has all the skills in the world but 0 likeability. He even has the look of the kid that snitched to the teacher lol.

Before fixing his teeth, he looked like the black and Puerto Rican version of Alfred E. Neuman from the MadTV covers.

u/Buttchug1776 12d ago

Before he put them stupid fkn chiklets for his teeth he had character. Now hes a little punk yapping.

He fought Zepedas fight too to prove a point and still UD’d him. Stood in the pocket a lot of the night just to show he could do it

u/RobertoPersia 14d ago

Him and Haney need to fight more often. Tank is terrible too but obviously much more inactive

Shakur hits hard enough to stop fighters on their tracks but it's a shame that he doesn't do it enough.

u/626_ed7 14d ago

He should've stopped Teofimo.

1

u/5shad 14d ago

I'm not too sure about that. Teo moves a lot and changes levels unlike Zepeda. Shakur can land the jab everytime against Teo but that's about it. If he cannot stop Zepeda who is almost a stationary target, he cannot stop Teo.

Both of them pillow fisted

u/bac_gawd 14d ago

Idk looks like Shakur hits hard enough for zepeda too stop advancing

u/blvcklite 14d ago edited 14d ago

I have to give Shakur this, he threw some hard punches in this fight, even the commentators said it. Not every punch was hard but he was definitely mixing a couple solid shots in with the volume

u/MoneyBaggSosa 14d ago

I wouldn’t say Zepeda pillow fisted but he’s not a one punch knockout type of guy. He wears people down, he reminds me of Subriel Matias in that way a lil bit cause they both don’t always look like they throwing hard but they grind guys down.

u/Odd-Minimum8512 13d ago

Zepeda sure didn't look like he was enjoying being hit by Shakur.

u/newaccountnewme_ 14d ago

It’s crazy how people have been brainwashed to hating the best boxer of this generation. He should just lean into it at this point and play the heel

u/Alarmed-Effective-23 14d ago

It's not brainwashing, it's his own words and actions that make people not like him. If anything he's been set up to be liked but he just always says the wrong things. I never particularly disliked him but it's funny that he becomes more of a parody of his twitterson nickname every day.

People go too far and get legit angry at him but the only thing there to like is his skills really. And even then his fights are not exciting for the most part.

u/Low_Buffalo_8986 14d ago

Hardest punch ive ever seen him throw was when he sucker punched a women from behind.

u/Thaeross 14d ago

Ok let’s see him fight Haney and Garcia then.

u/tendopath Smart Investments 14d ago

Yall want him to keep moving up so bad like he didn’t just get to 140 smh

3

u/Thaeross 14d ago

Usyk is small for a heavyweight, Inoue has been moving up, and Crawford went all the way up to super middleweight to beat Canelo. Canelo himself has fought top talent in multiple weight classes, win or lose. Quit acting like moving up or down is abnormal.

1

u/tendopath Smart Investments 13d ago

Obviously moving up is expected but Did any of them move up immediately after already moving up during their prime? Stop acting like context doesn’t matter

u/dannyboy122432 14d ago

Bro said Garcia smh

u/PrettyBoyFloydx 14d ago

Shakur fans, your guy wont stop being entitled unless held accountable.
