    My sister's 6 favorite fighters are Manny, Thurman, Donaire, Inoue, Kovalev and Gvozdyk. God forbid they make the last one, this year's already going to be gutwrenching as hell for her.:lol:

    Beating Donaire doesn't put him there. Nery/Roman does.

    I really disagree and i will disagree after watching the round twice or three times. It was a close round. Punch stats will confirm that. But as i wrote...no reason to talk about such stuff. You scored it for Inoue, many other also, i have no problem with that. Imo it was a swing round. I gave it to Rod because he landed good counters, was dominating the first minute with sharp shots AND was coming forward + edged the middle of the ring.

    Inoue is top 3 at a minimum. I only think Usyk and Canelo have an argument to be above him.

    I don't know what you're watching then. Boxing is about clean effective punching. And Inoue landed the clean effective punches. I bought Dazn right when the 2nd round started, so I didn't see the 1st live. I went back to watch the 1st since I saw a few people give it to Rodriguez, but it was a clear Inoue for me.

    Id arguably say he’s already there in the top 5 now based on his skill and resume but beating donaire would confirm it for me.

    How is not already in the top 5? His name should be one of the first ones anyone lists.

    Beating Donaire does nothing. Donaire has been shot for years. Beating a prime Donaire puts him there, beating this Donarie does little.
