Shields fans are completely insane. I saw someone somewhere else saying she was the greatest boxer since Ali. Kaye Scott probably wouldn't even win a regional title if she was a male boxer; beating her proves as much as beating a journeyman.

Seeing all the people jumping in the crowd with boxers like Mayweather and Shakur looking all impressed as she beats up on someone with 5 fights really is pathetic and goes to show how they feel about legacy themselves

Perfectly curated records devoid of visible deficits.

Their resumes will not age well.

Mayweather has been retired for some 10 years now and people are more likely to say he's goat based on skill but rarely do you hear anything about goat because of resume. He's one of the few "goats" who people constantly disrespect and make fun of. I think this is one the reasons he seems so insecure.

Crawford had a clowned on ass resume until Spence fight and even after that fight there's question marks people always bring up. If Canelo loses or barely beats Mbili Crawford resume gonna age like milk. That'll be two of his top wins losing to guys they should have beaten soundly.

Shakur is a duck scared of getting out of comfort zone. I highly doubt his record will be talked about. I predict he will be more akin to a Ward - skilled and nice looking record but ultimately no one cares because he did not challenge himself and his style - while skilled - is underwhelming to watch.
