Y'all must've forgot about the 118lb Monster in the room...Naoya Inoue knocking on the p4p door.

Discussion in 'World Boxing Forum' started by IntentionalButt, May 3, 2018.


2-part question: would dominant victory over JMD put Inoue A) #1 @ bantam, and B) top 15 p4p?

Poll closed May 25, 2018.

    Top 5-6 p4p....But I would hesitate to put him ahead of Burnett even taking into account how destructive that performance against JMD. It's tough to supplant a partially unified champ for the number one slot by beating the number 3-4 guy, no matter how impressive you look against that fighter.

    Clearly one of the truly elite fighters at the moment.

    I put him in the same bracket as Loma, Mikey, Crawford, GGG

    Since I made this thread Inoue has taken out Jamie McDonnell and Juan Carlos Payano in under a round apiece. (in three minutes and two seconds combined) - world ranked bantamweights, casually swatted and smushed like flies (see what I did there? :D)

    Kid is only 25 and has both a monster resume and the in-ring form of a destructive force of nature.

    It's easy to forget that he was only 21 when he knocked out the #1 rated fighter two divisions apart within an 8 month span, all within 8 fights. That wasn't just P4P stuff, that's historic level stuff. He's 12-0 in title fights.

    The question isn't whether he's top 5 P4P, it's how much left he's got to do to be a HOF lock. When he wins this tournament, I don't see an argument for keeping him out

    Isn't he a HOFer already?
    What's the maximum weight you see for him? With his skill set, I see him at 135 if he is really is 165cm/5ft5.

    It's hard to rate anybody under 122 or 126 as p4p. Featherweight separates the men from the boys. That seems to be the division where you start to encounter actual "man size" fighters. Albeit very, very, very tiny men, but man size nonetheless.

    It makes perfect sense. He's saying his feelings are hurt because there's an Asian with huge power tearimg up the small divisions who isn't named Pacquiao.

    Compare JMM to Juan Carlos Payano. One is man sized who take your ****ing head off. And the other is a dwarf sized "man".

    Pacquiao spent the vast majority of his career outside of the very lower weights. It has nothing to do with Pac.
