Linares and Martinez are good fighters but I'm only including borderline elite fighters and better. I just don't consider the Rigo win legit because it was at 130 and he was really old
All credit to Loma, he's a great man and a genius boxer. He looked pound for pound vs Kambosos. I was being immature and I was ignorant when I was hating on him. All that said though not only as an Inoue fan, but as a student and analyst of the game, I think Inoue would outbox and knock him out if they fought at 126, and I'm going to outline why I think that would happen in a brief post later. I see a lot in that fight I don't think other people see.
Inoue and Bud are the top 2 Usyk is brilliant but he's behind them and so is Loma This site has a weird fetish for the Eastern Europeans I love watching Inoue. People compare him to Pac, but at times he reminds me of a young Floyd
I wasn't specifically alluding to you but respect for being big enough to apologize and admitting your mistake. I've noticed quite a lot of my fallow Inoue fans love hating on Loma and it can be quite nasty too. I really don't want to hate on Inoue atl al I love both him and Loma and they embody everything great and right about the sport and deserve respect not hate. You're entitled to your opinion but safe to say I don't agree and I feel Loma is just too slick, skilled and unique. It would be an intriguing fight though and there's nothing wrong with picking a fighter to beat another. I don't see that as hate because it isn't.
Anyone who uses Rigo to say Loma's shorter resume is more impressive than Inoue's that's littered with world champions is cracked in the head, using the exact same magical thinking as everyone claiming beating Mikey Garcia made Spence p4p. Even Loma was embarrassed by that win. Take an actual look at the names on Loma's W column, and tell me with a straight face how many are really better than Omar Narvaez. Hell, I'd put Kohei Kano above most of them (which of Loma's opponents not dragged up multiple weight classes has a win as impressive as Kōki Kameda under their belt? Go ahead and include Salido and Haney if you want, I could use the laugh). But what takes the cake for me? Loma's poor tactical decisions in his two 'make-or-break' fights that would have made him undisputed (you know, that thing Inoue did? Twice?). He constantly starts late and is surprised that the judges keep punishing him for it. If he started three rounds earlier against Teofimo, he'd get the W by split decision. If he didn't take his foot off the gas in the 12th, he'd at least have walked away with a split-draw versus Haney. Doesn't matter if he was screwed over or not (which for the record, I think he was in the Haney fight), he knows it's a possibility and he keeps...doing it! Even in fights he wins in a lopsided fashion this shows up. How long did it take him to even think of going to Kambosos' body, who went down like a tub of lard the second Loma concentrated there? But oh no, keep head-sniping Loma. Loma's arrogance has cost him in at least two major fights. He has a stubborn pride that Inoue lacks; when Inoue sees something isn't working, he stops doing, adjusts, changes tactics, then dominates multi-weight world champions with vicious knock-out power. Rince, wash, repeat. Let's stop being silly just because we feel for Loma for being blatantly ducked by Mikey Garcia and being bafflingly hated by Vegas judges...and never make me speak like this on Loma again because ew.
This one is easy. Inoue’s best win = Old Donaire Old Donaire smashed his eye socket in Rigondeaux & Walters beat a younger better Donaire Loma made Rigo & Walters quit Prime Donaire knocks out Inoue I don’t dislike Inoue. He’s top 5 P4P and a great fighter. But this one is easy
Omar narvaez was 40 when Inoue beat him.Some guy just said can you find anyone better than Narvaez on lomas resume.Wtf! Didn’t Nonaire beat Narvaez? Rigo schooled Nonaire and walters sparked Nonaire.These guys elevating powder puff punching leprechaun to make Inoue look good.
'two whole freaking weights' is just a few poxy pounds in the lower weight divisions, Your excuses are nonsense. Usyk is beating top guys 30lbs heavier than him without making excuses! The truth is Cubans just don't make good pros in boxing like the Ukrainians do
Rigo was still a top 10 P4P fighter though and since Inoue hasn't beaten a top 10 P4P fighter yet it does seem baffling you wouldn't include Rigo for Loma's best wins. Yeah granted it wasn't Rigo's best weight but he was still a top 10 P4P fighter and should definitely be included especially since as i said Inoue has yet to record a win over a P4P fighter.
Rigo is a gold medalist and world champion.But he ummm looked poor against loma got toyed with easily.
Yep. Inoue always adjusts on the fly. The major reason i thought Spence was overrated after watching him against Bud. He didn't bother to adjust despite that 2nd rd knockdown. He still fought the same way and didn't try anything different. Definitely like Bomac said, a one dimensional fighter. I was rooting for him too at the time. Never had a plan B whether it would work or not.
You do realise that you are in a 1% minority of haters/agenda people who don't have Usyk as P4P number 1 right now Literally 99% of people have Usyk P4P number 1. It's ludicrous to even suggest anyone is above him, it's not even up for debate, with what he's achieved all giving up a massive weight disadvantage on the road. And it shows you have an agenda/problem.
Who the f..k is this guy that keeps quoting me? Lol I won't report you, but your not doing yourself favours and will likely gey banned I rate usyk, I don't overrate him I don't think a Fury level fighter would lay a glove on bud for example It's an opinion, you need to get over the fact not everyone will agree. This isn't a circle jerk. It's a message board with differing views that are open for discussion So relax and enjoy Welcome to the forum
