    Brook beat a primer version of Porter more convincingly than either Crawford or Spence. Kenny sold his son out by throwing the towel in Vs Crawford, Porter was arguably up on the cards as well.

    I’m really not impressed by weight bullies Spence or Crawford, the latter who has now been seen to wear illegal gloves

    I'd actually put Joshua up there. Unified champ but beat the weakest belt holder there has probably ever been in Martin.
    Fought Wlad who was decent still but hadn't fought for months post loosing to Fury. Beaten by Ruiz, well beaten by Usyk 1st time round and to be honest 2nd time round. I think his career is nearly done to be honest.

    I'd probably say Crawford. He's meant to be some ATG but his resume his awful. Shot Khan, Shot Brook. Porter is a decent win but he's called it a day and then a lot of his wins are guys who are euro level at best.

    24-0-0 (21 KO)

    17-0 (15 KO) in Title Fights

    88% KO Rate

    138 Rounds Boxed w/ 96% Win Percentage — to put that into perspective, he officially lost 6 rounds spanning 10 years — LOL!

    Became Undisputed by wiping out and KOing the #1, #2, #3, and #4 ranked guys — LOL!

    That's not hype. That's real FACTZ, ya heard?

    Compared to their contemporaries, I don't think any of them are overrated. I'd say Fury though from a historical context. There are people saying H2H he's the greatest HW of all time.................and that is..............not accurate at all.

    Then some guys on here, aren't really rated at all (Shakur, Fulton). Nobody even really rates them highly except their peers (who understand what they see).

    Inoue is the most overrated.

    People put him pfp number 1 and talk about the belts he won. When it comes time to name the great fighters he beat, people cling to the idea that beating an old as dirt Donaire is really meaningful (he lost to ****ing Frampton) and have nothing else to say.

    Inoue is 10-0 vs champs and 17-0 in title fights. Not having name value doesn't mean you're not good, Inoue has the longest list of contenders beaten of anybody actively in the sport besides Canelo and perhaps Golovkin depending on how you define contender.

    As far as Donaire losing to Frampton goes, you realize that Frampton is a featherweight, right? Donaire started at flyweight, and Inoue started at junior fly.

    As far as his best prime win goes, Inoue beat future unified champ Taguchi in his fourth fight. Taguchi was undoubtedly quite elite at 108.

    Josh Taylor got a gift against Jack and arguably lost to prograis and never rematched him.

    We know your opinion of a boxer is heavily influenced by the color of their skin.

    Objectively speaking, the win over Donaire is impressive. He fought a naturally bigger and explosive punching Donaire for 10+ rounds with a fractured orbital bone and nose. Meanwhile, we've seen countless fighters pull out or play it safe with less debilitating injuries. I think Inoue could retire today and still be a first-ballot hall of famer.
