Alright folks, 

As you might know I'm Tapology Boxing editor. I know the majority of you guys are here for MMA, so was I originally. But for the last year or 2 there is a little more interest in Boxing on the site. 

So here's a place to talk boxing.

Lost a close friend on Thursday. Figure I would post about him here since he was a pretty big underground boxingwise here in Michigan.

Sorry to hear about your friend. 
I lost my Auntie last week so I can relate. 

Unfortunately as you get older it's something you have to deal with more often, doesn't get any easier

Cheeseball, yup Shakur should be just inside the top 10 IMO. It's tough though, as I've said before 1-5 are pretty set with Canelo, Usyk, Bud, Inoue and Spence. There's about 10 guys who all have legit claims to be inside the top 10, only 5 spaces for 10 doesn't work obviously! So you have to leave guys out who deserve to be there.

Tepid, I agree. 2 minute rounds have got to go!!!

A Boxing/MMA crossover that actually makes sense imo. Thoughts?

You could put Shakur in your top ten and you wouldn't be wrong, but I don't understand why if he wasn't there before you'd put him there now. Oscar's a very limited and protected boxer who should've lost his fight before Shakur. He was tailormade to get dominated by Shakur with that rigid high guard and lack of meaningful footwork. It didn't show us anything we didn't already know.

Oh right, the old " he lost 1 fight so he's ****!".
Valdez is a great boxer. Unless you want to call a 6x Featherweight Champion, 2x Olympian terrible?

Mikey point to where I said that? Discussions are more interesting when your not building strawmen. 

Oscar is a very limited boxer with holes in his game, and his bout against Conceição proved that. Why would Shakur beating someone Conceição beat put him in your top ten if he wasn't there previously?

You are bringing up the Conceicao fight but ignoring the career changing beating he put on Berchelt (at the time the no. 1 130lber and considered the boogeyman, also a - 400 favourite) the war with Quigg (a 2 division World Champion) that Oscar beat with a broken jaw for over half the fight. Marriaga was top 10 Ring rated when Valdez beat him. I'm pretty sure Servania and Osawa were at the time too? 
. Also Conceicao never won!! Yeah it was a close fight but from what I remember Conceicao won the 1st half of the fight then stopped fighting the last half. People just wanted to give Conceicao the win because of the drug test fiasco(I was 1 of them).

I don't know why you're getting your knickers in a twist because I want to give Shakur credit for beating Valdez??? Lol.  I had Shakur just on the outside of my top 10 before, now he is unified against an undefeated guy who I considered top 2 in the division I moved him up. I did also say that there's about 10 guys who I could put in the 5-10 spots. It's just an opinion bud

This has become a meaningless discussion since your so unwilling to actually engage in what I'm saying. Your first response and now this is making me question if you even read what I wrote. Probably not, but hey glad to know my 'knickers are in a twist' because I asked you a very straight forward question. 

Also Valdez at best won 5 rounds against Conceição, but the better score card is probably 115-112 Conceição.

OK you don't rate Valdez as much as I do.

You wanted to know why I thought Shakur should move into the top 10 for beating Valdez. I try to explain why I rated Valdez( stating good wins).
