    Inoue by a mile.

    Had the popular decision been given against Loma this wouldn't even be a discussion tbh.

    Haney is good, real good, but he's not Inoue good.

    Haney is the better "boxer" for sure. He has tremedous Jab (best in the sport), he's fast, can fight at all ranges, and he actually has underrated defense. Inoue is the more explosive fighter with a tremendous killer instinct. But P4P, Inoue loses to the version of Loma that that daney fought. It would be Nicholas Waters 2.0

    Disagree. Crawford and Ennis are more complete.

    Haney defense is not underrated. Everyone acknowledges it.

    not as much as they do with Shakur and Bivol. I'd argue he's a better defensive fighter than both

    The monster is the man with the far superior skill set, he is the finest fighter on the face of the planet today in my humble opinion

    Although I believe Haney is a talented dude, I feel he clearly lost to lomachenko and did not show any real sort of spark or anything special against a guy that barely did anything the other night, a guy who look like he was there to look spectacular against.

    I'd disagree about Ennis, he's very fast and explosive which people can mistake for technical skills but he has holes in his game. He'll no doubt be a champion but he has a long way to go to be considered top 10 P4P material let alone on the level of Crawford and Inoue. Inoue's counter punching alone puts him levels above Ennis right now who's counter punching is near non existent in comparison. Inoue's footwork too is far superior to Ennis'.

    I suspect Ennis ends up more like Spence than Crawford unless he continues to develop his skills. He like Spence has the fan friendly style, good athleticism and very good fundamentals but the next level skills of defence, lateral movement, counter punching, framing, etc those skills are too underdeveloped. So many fans will likely be convinced he's something he's not by the flash and ignore the lack of other skills until he steps up and gets exposed like Spence was when he finally did face and genuine elite. Ennis right now is very far from the real deal, but the potential is there but it hasn't yet manifested itself into a truly elite fighter.

    Inoue will be 2x Undisputed in a few weeks. Kind of hard to argue Haney here.

    Haney has some skills, he's the real deal
    However, he is not operating at the level of Inoue

    No way Jose!

    Inoue is nearly...................again nearly, perfect. He's a near perfectly balanced fighter.

    You don't know what you're talking about. Ennis has elite footwork, jab, counter-punching, timing, athleticism, really good defense, and is the best switchhitter in the game. If you think Shakur , Tank, Crawford, and Inoue are elite, then you have to consider Ennis to be elite because Ennis is better than Shakur. I disagree with Ennis being another Spence. Ennis has the perfect combination of talent and hardwork(something Spence lacks).
