Translation: I want huge money for the Zepeda fight. Meanwhile, I'll use Tank's name and pretend it can happen.

Tank got beat by Roach. He ain’t about to fight Shakur. Let him keep fighting journeymen

C’mon you know it don’t work that way
And in reality until Roach gets that W on his ledger , the rematch should be next

I know. It’s just sometimes we gotta respond to others in the same logic they use. This guy is saying Shakur is just using Tank’s name like Shakur is some unknown journeyman.

You are correct. Even Shakur acknowledged that fact and stated he is ok with a 65-35 purse split in favor of Tank “or whatever” as long as he isn’t shortchanged.

And just to be clear, I fully understand that people get mad about a guy being a counter-puncher but that is what the guy is.

With only a touch of comparison, it's not like most people weren't mad at Floyd for doing his job really well in the latter part of his career but we still rate him as highly as we do with very little debate.

Just to be clear, I am not mad at Shakur. He is what he is, an evasive boxer and a counter puncher. What I find silly are these expectations that somehow he is going to beat up someone good and that one day he will really open up and let his hands go. He will beat them but he will not beat them up. All his fights go the same way and for me they are boring to watch.

Safe to assume Tank wont get anywhere near Shakur for the time being so all the smoke goes to 'El Camaron' now.

Stevenson is the obvious favorite but Zepeda aint no late replacement electrician thats fo sho lol. Oscar needs to make it real next.

Did he really?? If so, he can't be accused of pricing himself out....

A flat fee just means Tank does not want that smoke.
