It was a troll offer, Haney is done at 135, him and his dad knew Shakur was never going to accept anything close to that.

Wouldn’t mind seeing Loma and Shakur in there.
Tank gets out in a month iirc. Would be dope if they make this happen.

Boots and Villa in a few mins.
Going for Boots. Villa was impressive in that January fight against Ellis too though. Should be a good one.

Boots punch count per round has dropped drastically
That is where Errol separates himself from these other fighters

That was a good fight. I don’t know how Villa made it past round 6. That dude had a chin, but the knock out was just a matter of time.

He is like T-1000 from Terminator. He just keeps coming relentlessly. It’s crazy.

Its a lot of mma fighting techniques that are being included as advantages when discussing boxing
For instance the “he can switch stances” talk
That doesn’t necessarily create an advantage in boxing like it does in mma
In mma it allows a fighter to power kick with both legs which can be an advantage if the fighter has strong kicks with both legs
In boxing I don’t really see how its an advantage especially if your opponent has been studying what you do in the ring
There’s no roundhouse kicks or spinning back hand punches in boxing so switching stances in boxing doesn’t create an element of surprise like it can in mma

Riddick Bowe was no different than Razor Ruddock
Tyson whooped Razor Ruddock twice and would have KO’d Riddick Bowe by the 5th round

He on dust. Riddick did better against Holyfield than Tyson ever did. I started high school in 1994 , so I saw all of Riddick and Rock Newman in Brooklyn.
Riddick had real Talent

Gotta remember Mike had three different careers
Mike before he got with Robin Givens wasn’t fighting no bums and was on his way to being one of the greatest ever

When Bowe was on, he was a problem for any heavyweight in history. He just didn't care enough about boxing. That and he was pretty much spent by his late 20s after those brutal fights vs Golata

You might want to go back and watch some old bowe fights. Bowe was better than anyone mike fought before he got KO'd by buster Douglas. Im taking the bowe that showed up vs holyfield in 1992 vs ANY version of Mike tyson

It’s an intriguing matchup for sure but no version of Tyson? Like, at all? Not even when he was handled by Cus D’amato, Teddy Atlas, and Kevin Rooney? He was firing on all cylinders with those two in his corner. His career got gradually worse without them.You might want to go back and watch some old bowe fights.

Young Mike had more skill than any heavyweight, but Tillis, Bruno, Spinks and Holmes are his only great wins
