If Bud has a dominating performance Saturday, he’s number 1 p4p and it’s not necessarily close too

Does jermell get to keep his belts at 154? I could see the winner fighting jermell if he still has belts.

 

That's why I qualified with "level", he had previously fought Taguchi, who went on to become a unified champion at 108. The fight wasn't for a title, but it was definitely a world title level fight.

Also, I disagree strongly. Inoue has beaten multiple unified champions (Donaire, Taguchi, Fulton) and is 12-0 vs champions. Crawford's best wins were more washed and not as successful. Donaire has had a very successful career post-Inoue, better than any post-Crawford opponent.

 

Yeah, well, those two fights include two more won title fights than all post-Crawford opponents combined. In fact, I believe 3 Inoue opponents so far have gone on to win titles after he beat them, and a fourth in Rodriguez is set to happen very soon. So, correct me if I'm wrong, but in that regard Inoue is 3-0, soon to be 4-0.

I don't put much stock into being undefeated. How many of the fighters you named have winning records vs top 10 opposition? Burns, I believe. The rest of them mostly lose when they fight world class opposition. Inoue has several wins over guys who mostly win at a world level.

And he'll get credit for beating Spence when he does so. Spence, since he's fully in his prime, is a very good fighter, and I'd give huge credit for the win. But at the moment Crawford's resume is not in any regard on the level of Inoue's resume. Not in future champs, not in reigning champs, not in HoFers, not in unified champs, not in total champs, not in # of Ring rated wins, not in # of wins of people with winning records over world class opposition, not in the best win. Inoue at the moment simply has the better resume.

 

If Porter gets into the HoF, the HoF is broken. Two good wins and a robbery vs a B tier fighter does not make a HoF fighter. He's definitely nowhere near Inoue's level, he couldn't even be the best in one division, much less 4. And Khan was the best in 1 for a little while, he has some good wins, but I still would not call the guy a HoFer. He'll probably get in (unlike Porter) but it will be based on his popularity and not his achievements. He has a couple of B wins, a B+ win, and no A wins, all at 140. Not a HoFer.

 

No. That is BS hype from the usual suspects. He is nowhere near Inoue.

 

A bit irrelevant because EJ is going to beat Bud and he will be ranked P4P number 1. Inoue will have enjoyed being number 1 for 4 days.
