    I see almost no avenue for a Fulton victory over Inoue. The only advantage is his size. It remains to be seen how much of an impact his size advantage will be.

    That said, Fulton is easy to hit and he doesnt punch hard. That's a bad combo in boxing. If you cant punch you better be hard to find. And if you're easy to find, you better be able to bang. I dont see it for Stephen.

    Hes a good fighter but hes up against a special fighter in Inoue. If he runs he might go the distance and lose by clear decision if he stands his ground he gets stopped simple as. Either way hes getting beat. Book it :deal:

    Its the agenda made by Inoue fans that Fulton is an ATG and Inoue beating him would rank him over SRR

    Perhaps. I just laugh at the Fulton hype because hes a sitting duck in there. Inoue is a fighter with a complete punch arsenal and has power in both hands. Where is he gonna go? He ain't slick and he cant send much back in return.

    Some people say Inoue got scared of Fulton and made up the injury story.

    Neither was Baldomir, but he still beat Judah. Mayorga wasn't that good but he still beat Forrest. Pollo Valenzuela wasn't that good but he still beat Ricardo williams. Rubio wasn't that good but he still beat Bojado. Should I still go on? Maybe throw in some stats, even though stats don't win fights?! Hmmmm

    That's alone doesn't mean he's good enough to beat Inoue or even be competitive. Just means Fulton might be the best of a weak division.

    I guess we'll see how good Fulton is, personally he hasn't impressed me that much, nothing I've seen from him suggests he's on Inoue's level even if you take Inoue's power out of the equation.

    Wait just a gosh darn moment! Are you saying that he isn't already ranked higher than SRR?

    I thought he loss to Fig and many foo do too.Figs beat Bumsayo but it wasn’t as emphatic as we expected. We will see though Fultz moment of truth is around the corner.No judges to protect him there in japan like da U S of A.

    A win over Fulton is better than any individual Loma win.

    Rigo would shutout Fulton. Linares, Campbell, Ortiz, Walters would brutally stop him.

    Don't give credit to Inoue if that's the case.
