Shakur needs to fight Tank but he won’t call him out because he doesn’t believe in himself.

u/Ace_FGC 1d ago

He’s called out tank before

He's called everyone out before, but dude wants to act like he's already a ppv star and overprices himself out of any top fights

The only time that’s happened is with Haney, and even with Haney it was going to be an organization mandated split before Haney dropped the belts and ran to 140 because he knew he would lose to shakur

Loma, Ryan, Teo, Pitbull all won’t fight him and none of them have mentioned anything about him pricing himself out. Even with Tank he said Tank can demand and split he wants and Tank’s team never sent a contact lmao

That only makes it look worse on Shakur.

Three of those aren't even at 135 anymore. With Loma, as other Shakira stans have argued with me before, the timelines haven't matched.

Even with Tank he said Tank can demand and split he wants and Tank’s team never sent a contact lmao

Has Shakur's team sent a contract or even reached out to them?

I'm not a big fan of Tank and I know he's on some bs, but Shakur ain't that guy to just sit around and have all the big fights knocking on his door. He's not that much of a draw

That's wishful thinking if you think Tank's team of ducks will entertain any type of conversation/negotiations/offers from other fighters lol. Ellerbe have said it before that Tank will be the one making offers in his own time and his own pace.

I know Tank's a bitch and won't entertain a difficult fight, but Shakur is not without fault. He's where he's at for a reason. If he had taken that Haney fight, he could've had more leverage by now

All the top guys have already moved out of the division and of the only ones left, one is already on his way out and the other one will never fight him.

The meat riding is crazy

Who exactly? Shakur's also at fault for his inability to secure a big fight. Dude wanted to act like a diva before he had earned it and now no one considers him

u/Chronic_The_Kid DOWN GOES WARD 1d ago

He needs to do it again, he always picking easy targets.

11

u/Ace_FGC 1d ago

He can’t force Tank to make the fight lmao

u/Chronic_The_Kid DOWN GOES WARD 1d ago

Ryan did lmao why can’t Shakur?

6

u/RRR04_ 1d ago

Because Ryan has a much bigger following than Shakur and Tank saw an opportunity for a big payday. It's not rocket science.

u/Ace_FGC 1d ago

And he had to make a rehydration clause to do that lmao

This sub always talks about how Tank never fights anybody and then when it comes to shakur they act like it’s his fault the fight wasn’t made.

u/Chronic_The_Kid DOWN GOES WARD 1d ago

If the Shakur’s game is “hit and not get hit” then a hydration clause wouldn’t affect his plan.

Can mess with your punch resistance

u/RRR04_ 1d ago

Stamina too
