    Elijah Pierce has been calling out Inoue and has gone far as to say that he is hype job and even makes the bold claim that he'll beat him on social media.

    Has this guy done anything that even warrants him to be in the discussion with Inoue or anyone at 122?

    Someone who sparred with Gervonta Davis and claims that he beat him.

    Can't really blame him, Inoue offers the biggest payday at the weight by far and he clearly doesn't have the credentials to warrant a shot so his only hope is if he does a Shannon Briggs and dogs Inoue in public to try and make a fight happen or it may simply be a case of a fighter throwing a bigger name out there to draw attention their way and grow their fanbase and purses, that's what Wilder did vs Joshua for years.

    Let everyone do it then. That will be fun, and not at all annoying.

    It's one thing to be confident in your abilities and thinking that you are capable of beating the best fighters but they need to know their place before making such outlandish comments. When you make a bold statement by saying that a well established dominant champion is a hype job and then say that they can easily beat them yet haven't done anything of note such as winning a title you automatically lose credibility. This guy is merely crying for attention and desperately wants the payday.

    It's annoying no doubt and it doesn't even always work. Most won't ever stoop this low simply because they have some self respect and want to earn their shot to some degree and not just be obnoxious and hope they get lucky.

    For sure he's crying out for a payday and in an ideal world people would always earn their shots. I'm not condoning it, just understand the reason why he's doing it and think it's better not to be triggered by these call outs and better to ignore them because what he's trying to do is trigger people and have what he's saying posted on forums and social media.

    I've seen a few videos on that guys channel of fighters hating on Inoue. Let's just say that a lot of people are very threatened by him and even quite a lot of fighters have been extremely disrespectful about him now despite the fact he's a class act in and out of the ring and is a very respectful guy himself.

    I hope he beats the living crap out of every single one of them and brutally knocks them out in HL reel fashion. This clown whoever he is can get that work too, only in Japan where the King resides, if he or they ever make it to that level that is which I doubt most of them ever will. Keep running your mouth and you're gonna find out

    Fulton actually had some accomplishment & belts, this guy has none

    As Canelo would say "Pay day, you want pay day. I know that"

    Inoue is getting the Loma treatment. Before Loma it was GGG. Chocolate Tito. Even Clenelo to a much lesser degree. All former P4P #1s but of course it wasn't or in inoue's case now isn't ever deserved no matter what they do even though they represent everything right and great about the sport or have fought everyone :facepalm:

    Some fans are only noticing it more or speaking up about it with regards to Inoue because it's considered more cool and exotic to fanboy over leprechaun sized Japanese boxers. I say this as somewhat of a nippon fetishist myself and a huge fan of Inoue. It was also considered more cool and exotic with Nicaraguan leprechaun Chocolate Tito, too.

    Just wait until Inoue gets robbed :lol:

    I've butted heads with the Inoue, Loma, GGG, and believe it or not even the Clenelo are ''hype jobs'' and ''aren't top 10 P4P'' or ''top 3'' types on social media a million times

    This is the guy who deliberately hit Tank in the back of the head during a sparring match right? Inoue smokes him.

    I already chatted with Elijah about this on X/Twitter (he's very quick to respond and he'll talk to anyone), I don't mind him putting himself out there as an opponent but the smack talk on a legend like Inoue will most likely end badly for him. He's confident as hell, I'll give him that. Saw his sparring with Tank and I must say I was impressed.
