:what:

We been saying it. What did you see in this fight that Tank does to Shakur that he couldn’t do to Roach? Levels. Roach, Martin, Ryan, none of these guys are better than Shakur. The best fighter I would have picked Tank over was Devin and I think Devin had a real chance to beat him but Devin gets popped cleanly too much. I also slightly favored Loma over Tank. Tank is a BOXER. He has trouble with other technically skilled fighters.
Shak don’t fight like Roach, can’t compare. We don’t know if Shakur is better than Roach, Ryan, or Ghost because he never fought wother of them, but Tank did. I agree with Devin vs Tank as well as vs. Loma, however, I think Shakur will not do enough to win because unlike Loma and Devin, he won’t mix it up.

Roach stood in the fire and traded with the Boogeyman hands of 135 and not only made him respect his power but rocked him.

Shakur isn't doing that and what he does throw isn't gonna keep Tank honest. If he doesn't get knocked out he loses a decision for lack of offense.

Shakur reflexes and instincts on another level. Roach don’t hit harder than Shakur imo. Roach is a big strong guy at 135 but Shakur bigger and stronger even, faster but with FAR SUPERIOR footwork

Funny thing is....Tank will probably beat everybody else. Sometimes a boxer who knows you can have your number. Lamont knows Tank...Everything Tank was going to do and trying to do. Same thing with Tarver when he fought and beat RJJr.... When you have tons of practice with someone, they train to defeat you.

THE FIGHT WASNT STOPPED
BECAUSE HE TURNED HIS BACK THOUGH.

THE REF CHECKED ON HIM
IN THE CORNER AND GAVE HIM
TIME TO CONTINUE THE FIGHT.

SAYING HE QUIT
AND SAYING THE REF
STOPPED THE FIGHT
BECAUSE HE TURNED HIS BACK
ARE 2 DIFFERENT THINGS

:devil:
:evil:



Saying Anthony Joshua quit and the Ref stopping the fight are EXACTLY the same thing

In Boxing after a knockdown, they ask "do you want to continue". Basically asking do you want to quit or not. The ref asked Joshua to come forward after Joshua turned his back walking to the corner, Joshua didn't, hence the Ref stopping the fight
