From Shakur's words, he didn't diss the offer, he never had a chance to negotiate. He feels like Devin and Bill never operated in good faith to actually make the fight happen.

Watch everyone Juelz when they reply to this post

Got to hand it to Devin Haney, he has grown a sizeable fanboy network on the Internet :salute:

For every Concecao(sp?) Fight we get outta him we have to suffer through a one sides Jamel Herring(who he couldn't even get out of there really that gift ass stoppage), or an Oscar Valdez or Ghost where he is literally not engaging the entire fukking fight. That's one ho... DECENT fight every 4 fight average and that's so LAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMEEEEEEEE.

Tell herring to be more competitive then. Imagine me penalising Bud for whopping Spence :dead:


He wasn’t engaging with Valdez? Crazy revisionism there :mjlol:
Dominican Omari Hardwick & The Namibian Policeman fights were stinkers tho :lolbron:

Facts
-They called Floyd boring
- They said Roy Jones fought nobody
- They said Crawford fought nobody

The open secret with Boxing "fans" is they hate elite fighters that make it look easy

And to your last point I agree. I was so pissed at that Shakur fight with De Los Santos. But word is he can fight Zepeda, so if he dominates that fight, he'll be in a good place

IDK if ya'll watch MMA but this is the Sean strickland strategy. talk about how you are out for murder, a brawl, decimation in the ring etc


then become a defensive jab merchant on fight night. Now, there is nothing wrong with that. win at all costs. but don't perpetrate like your style is fireworks.

I get it now. This is why y'all like Haney and other fighters. Boxers who make it look too easy is "boring"

- Y'all like when Haney who is "supposedly too big for 135" get manhandled in the ring by a 126 pounder in Loma
- Y'all like when Haney was winning the fight against Linares, then for some reason get absolutely ROCKED by him and needed 2-3 rounds to recover

When someone struggles they are more "entertaining" to watch

Seeing Shakur putting on masterclasses against Joey Gonzalez, Herring, Valdez, Conceiciao, etc makes him boring somehow

thats rather disingenious. Shakur last fight he didn't engage AT ALL and was on his bike for 36 minutes. nobody wants to watch that shyt. I love defensive fighters making people looking dumb. no one would say Sweet Pea was boring. Shakur usually isn't boring either, he stands right inf front of people. That last fight however was horrible to watch, and instead of just saying my bad hes become a clout chasing tweet monster. Its rubbing everyone the wrong way because of recency bias and how he is handling his down time. I still think he has the capability to be exciting and beats mostly everyone around him but its up to him how entertaining he makes it. End of the day its a spectator sport and you are not going to gain any fans fighting how he did last fight.



IDK why Haney is being used to prop up Shakur in this situation. He could have fought him and took all his belts and didn't. shouldn't even mention them together.
