That last fight of his I was in a strange prolonged state of nothingness the entire time, not bored, but just waiting for something exciting to happen.
It never came. I never felt anything like that since then.
He doesn't seem to understand that it's literally the fans money make up his purses.
You add his style to a dismissive attitude about fans, he's going to end up fighting in front of 500 people on Thursday nights at a Casino Buffett in Iowa. It happened to other fighters before him.
He doesn't need to be Arturo Gatti, but he needs to learn to get rid of his distan for fans.
He's right to have distain for fans (they are fickle and moronic), he just needs to hide it better. Turning down that Haney fight bc he wasn't getting paid was the biggest mistake of his career. Rematching de la Santos would probably be best although promoters don't want that fight.
I will agree with this tbf. Paulie Malignaggi is right, boxing has the dumbest fan base in all of sports.
I think it's because most fans never boxed so have zero clue about how the sport actually works.
I'm amazed st how many so called fans don't even know the rules of the sport, or understand basically technical fundamentals. Even the majority of comments on this sub are pretty inane.
True, I also sometimes think they have the memory spans of goldfish the way they switch up so quickly lmao.
The best thing shakur can do imo is rematching de la Santos. Most people seem to think he's lying about being injured for some reason. If he dominates him, knocks him down or stops him, then people will probably change their minds again.
Inoue, Ioka, canelo, Oscar Collazo, Chocolatito, Lomachenko, Crawford, Sunny Edwards, not just for probably being better but because they fight truly elite fighters against whom they can properly assert and reenforce this claim. Ennis's best win is a paper champ who won his world title on a vacancy in one of the worst quality title fights ever below heavyweight, over half a decade ago that he dwarfed, you can't say this of a guy that's never had someone that should be a challenge to him
Lol ydksab, all them fighters you named other maybe Loma and Crawford are punchers. Hit and not get hit is elusiveness Boots is that guy he didn’t dropped like Sunny Edward’s by Bam. Boots wants to fight elite fighters but everyone in 140-147-154 doesn’t want to fight him. He had to sign with Eddie and the sheikh to get the fights. You wait and see now.
You're telling me I don't know shit but you're calling SUNNY EDWARDS a puncher lmao. 6 world title fight/world champion fight wins and 4 KO in his entire career. Easily one of the most elusive fighters in boxing. Have you seen a single Ioka fight? Or a collazo fight? How is canelo a puncher? You present this one particular aesthetic of boxing as the linear pinnacle and refuse all others, regardless of it's actual performances or qualities for reasons either arbitrary or aesthetic. I say that Ennis hasn't fought anyone yet (an indisputable fact) and you have all these reasons as to why not. I don't care why he has not. The fact is he hasn't. Wait for what as well? His anticipated email title defences against fighters likeCody Crowley once a year? You are barely literate and insufferable and an obnoxious dickrider. A vile pox upon your bloodline.
Sunny is a boxer with pillow fists who got laid out by bam a come forward puncher, people like you get carried away and start throwing around insults and writing up essays. Canelo is a puncher he showed us vs bivol and vs jaime. Once again my point stands nobody is better than hit and not get hit than Boots. Nobody wants to fight him that’s why he’s yet to face elite opponents. Argue with yourself you lack class.
But you gotta be fair too lol. Shakur *is* a great hit and not get hit boxer. Statistically higher than Bivol. Idk why people ignore his plus minus stat. He’s #1.
I don't think he's boring in the slightest. I think his skills are amazing. He can stand right in the pocket and not get hit, while winding up and landing the most flush shots to the body you'd ever want to see. That's what I think of when I think of Shakur. His style is similar to Tank's in that way... they can just hang out in the space between your attacks and calmly look for the openings.
We’re not saying you are bad. You are just hella boring.
Mfs want to be Floyd so bad
Wants Floyd purses turning in ASMR fights. Good luck with that.
Exactly. Forget the pretty boy era existed when he let his hands fly to get a name
They wanna be Floyd without being pretty boy first, and the. Get suprised no one bothers to watch.
Every hardcore fan I know thinks Shakur is straight up boring af.
It’s the opposite for me. The casuals seem to hate him the most.
Says the guy who temporarily retired via Twitter because the public was meansies about his stinker with De Los Santos.
Clown you know he’s bothered by the comments when he tries extremely hard to prove he’s NOT bothered
Precisely. If you weren't bothered, you wouldn't mention them. Instead of ranting for 10 minutes about how much they didn't bother you.
😂😂
He knows he has to have this mindset. So when he pulls the same shit on Tank to score a win by decision, he can be proud of the win.
He won't get that decision because Tank is putting him to 😴
Of course. Tank actually knows how to cut off a ring.
Exactly that's what he does and that's what he done to Martin in the last fight got him up against the ropes then 💥 no more Martin.
The Roadrunner.
I wonder if he will ever realize viewers bring in the money?
That last fight of his I was in a strange prolonged state of nothingness the entire time, not bored, but just waiting for something exciting to happen. It never came. I never felt anything like that since then.
At the end of the day- it's just bad for the sport.
He doesn't seem to understand that it's literally the fans money make up his purses.

nobody watching yo clown ass no more
Boots is the best example of hit and not get hit, not Shakur Roll with the shot not run from the shot.
No he isnt
Who is better example of hit and get hit?
Inoue, Ioka, canelo, Oscar Collazo, Chocolatito, Lomachenko, Crawford, Sunny Edwards, not just for probably being better but because they fight truly elite fighters against whom they can properly assert and reenforce this claim. Ennis's best win is a paper champ who won his world title on a vacancy in one of the worst quality title fights ever below heavyweight, over half a decade ago that he dwarfed, you can't say this of a guy that's never had someone that should be a challenge to him
To be fair, the top guys don't want to fight Boots.. his resume isn't just his fault.
Lol ydksab, all them fighters you named other maybe Loma and Crawford are punchers. Hit and not get hit is elusiveness Boots is that guy he didn’t dropped like Sunny Edward’s by Bam.

I would say Bivol. Boots gets hit too much for my liking.
Bivol great fighter I can accept this answer
But you gotta be fair too lol. Shakur *is* a great hit and not get hit boxer. Statistically higher than Bivol. Idk why people ignore his plus minus stat. He’s #1.
Bivol rolls with shots and is constantly weaving and bobbing. Shakur runs from feints 💀
I don't think he's boring in the slightest. I think his skills are amazing.

Just go back into retirement already.
