Rolly don’t even wanna hear shakurs name. That’s how you know shakur got the juice now. He’s showing bud-spence type hunger in the ring. Like he wants to finish everybody. Dude just seems more determined than everybody. Him and Haney. But tank still has the speed to match and dynamite in his hand.

Those 3 would make for at least a couple classics. Boxing got a bright future :wow:





Props to krak for seeing it. I thought he could be great but not this great. Dude is looking all time level. Just needs the big fights to really show it now.


Yeah the skills been there all he needed was a lil more pop in his punches which I figured he would get as he gets older/stronger. Imagine what he gonna look like when his body grows into 140/147.

A lot of guys have got that “close to pretty boy Floyd” comparison he is prob the closest I’ve seen. :hubie: I’m from Newark tho so it could be my bias.

Any links?

What makes you takw Frank over Keyshawn?

I think frank is more experienced right now and has fought better competition. I thought he was very impressive against Rivera and that dude was dirty. I thought frank had answers for everything Rivera did and Rivera is a good fighter.I also think Derrick James is an excellent trainer and gives good advice in the corner to help navigate a fight. Keyshawn is an up and coming cat. But he's been talking too much when he know Bob arum not really gonna put him in the fire yet.

While I like keyshawn something about him keep losing to that cuban dude rubs me wrong. He lost 3 or 4 times. And I know it's amateur but he still ain't figured out a way to beat him. That don't carry over to professional but I like to think he's not thinking or analyzing what he needs to do.

While I like bomac, I'm not sure he can really navigate a young dude through this type of situation during a fight. I know everyone will say look at what he did for Crawford but Crawford is a special fighter and with his IQ,mental makeup he would have been at this level regardless in my opinion with or without bomac. I hope that don't come off a diss though
