Is Monster Inoue An ATG...???

So that's what denial looks like.

Cute.

 

Actually I think I do.

 

Just because Inoue has a perfect record doesn’t mean he’s better than them. You really have to look at the context of their record in their era to really understand why theyre considered one of the best.

 

Great job reading through boxrec

Jofre win by close decision at 37 over an elite featherweight - who would absolutely beat a 37 year old Donaire - and offered him a rematch provided Jofre beat Saldivar in a massive money fight (y'know, those don't come often). He took a keep busy fight and got destroyed by Arguello, then retired. BEFORE Jofre did. And btw, the dodgiest thing about that decision is that the Spanish judge was the only one who called it a draw, whereas the American had it clear for Jofre.

Saldivar is just a name you recognize. He isn't one of Jofre's best wins, just biggest names and purses.

Jofre fought in an era with one champion, and only eight weights. Inoue fights in an era with four per weight and seventeen divisions (I refuse to actually acknowledge bridgerweight). Apples to oranges. Guys like Medel, Caldwell, Caraballo and Yaoita were all much better fighters than Taguchi, Rodriguez, Narvaez and McDonnell. Medel himself at that point was a helluva lot better than the Donaire Inoue beat, and even prime for prime there's a great argument for Medel being better. You wouldn't know that, though.

Those 'draws', were products of a scoring system where if you didn't win by more than four points on all three cards, it was declared a draw. And only one happened in his prime, Elias was highly regarded, and Jofre won on all of the cards.

Anyway, if you want to actually learn something about Jofre, read Chris' bio on him. It's some of the best boxing writing ever. All primary sources, hundreds of pictures and some brilliant history about both Jofre and Brazilian/Argentinan boxing.

There was only 1 Champion in Jofre's time. I believe Inoue could surpass him if he stays at BW as I think he is better than Harada who beat Jofre albeit in a controversial decision

 

He wasn't shot enough for you to pick Bam to win though

It's cute you think you have to defend Inoue. His achievements speak for themselves, and easily outrank Bam's.

 

You can’t blame me for seeing it that way. Your passive aggressive responses really gives off that vibe of how you feel about Bam ever since he took the spotlight. Don’t try and fool us, you know it’s true.

 

My dude, this whole entire thread is you being triggered. Come on now.

 

Posting facts isn’t considered triggered. It’s called giving you education my man.
