    Inoue already fought in America and America had nothing to offer to him. Heck, he even fought in Las Vegas.
    Porter has no argument besides some warped nationalism.

    None of the top guys at 122 are from America, besides Fulton. And Fulton just enjoyed a career high payday in Japan.

    The ignorance of these clowns and there are many of them is astonishing.

    Firstly, Inoue has fought in the US x 3 and in the UK once

    He has been subject to stringent PED testing by VADA numerous times

    He's a huge star in Japan, boxing is booming over there, and he's making very good money fighting over there.

    He's the champ, a undisputed one at that, has usually been the champ when fighting at home or on the road, and is currently ranked P4P#2 by The Ring, was formally ranked #1, and is arguably #1 now along with Usyk and Crawford.

    But he has to fight over in the US to ''prove himself'' even though, as said, he's fought there x 3, against their best boys on a deck heavily stacked against him whilst their top boys spend their entire careers never travelling, or if they do only once or once every ice age, fighting at home with a stacked deck of a home ref and three home judges to rob the foreigner blind time and time

    And as I keep saying, we literally only see that stacked deck of a home ref and three home judges in one country in the world for world title fights between a home fighter vs a foreigner and even worse is virtually the norm over there.

    When Fulton fought Inoue in Japan and Haney fought Kambosos x 2 in Australia every single one of the officials came from neutral countries

    Foreigners have to play by a set of rules that we never dare or have to play by ourselves :facepalm:

    If the officials had all been from Japan and Australia respectively for Inoue vs Fulton and Kambosos vs Haney the outrage would've been deafening from these people and many fans, fighters and media from across the pond or for any fight where an American fighter travels abroad

    The current P4P #1 Crawford has fought outside the US once in 40 fights, against Ricky Burns, and all the officials came from neutral countries, if you consider Puerto Rico neutral for an American that is because the ref was from there

    Porter has fought outside the US a grand total of zero times and the same goes for Floyd in his 50 pro fights who also criticized Inoue for not fighting in the US even though, again, he has x 3 :facepalm:

    And most of their top boys have US referees every single time they step into a ring or 99% of the time

    And why are people demanding that Inoue has to move up to 135 when he's already fighting in his 4th division (or 5th from the one he started out at) at 122? He turned pro weighing 108.5lbs FFS :facepalm:

    They want him to fight WBA regular strap season belt collector Twink who has ducked and avoided the elite guys in every division he's fought in and most of the champs he has fought were either WBA regular champs, shot to bits former champs who were champs long ago, or dragged up in weight.

    Twink ducked Loma at 130 and 135 like crazy for seven years. He ducked Josh Taylor at 140 and he wants nothing to do with any of the elite guys at 135 or 140 like Haney and Shakur now, let alone the ones up at 147 or above

    It's called prize fighting. If the bigger prize is in Japan, then stay in Japan. No brainer.

    I agree with Porter.All the greats have fought all their careers in America.Cotto, Marquez, Floyd, Del hoya, Morales, Lomachenko.It’s a tradition also a tradition to move up in weight to lightweight at least and have a stringent osdt mandatory drug test 24/7.

    Pac man was a drug cheat and you want to talk like you care about drug testing?

    He has the belts. If he wants people to try and get them in his living room, so be it. He's making a ton of money
    in Japan and doesn't need to fight elsewhere unless he loses his belts.

    However, it was great back in the day when guys fought all over the world. Ali did it. Hagler won his belt in the UK.
    Fury, Lewis and many other fought here. Pacquiou of course fought here many times but to be fair he wasn't going to
    make any money fighting in the Philippines.

    It’s tradition not just money and you gotta learn engrish.Look at Canelo.”Come on you just want payday”!! Canelo the highest paying boxer in the world today because he fights everywhere in the US.1USD is 158 yen.

    Even though America hasn't had a good heavyweight since Bowe, Holyfield and Tyson and have watched Europeans dominate, they still think the boxing world revolves around them.

    Nobody cares about midgets. I'm glad they can still get paid in a market which westerners are oblivious to.

    Maybe in the Pacquiao era there was a window for these umpa lumpa's to break America and make big money but that window has shut. Nobody is making dollar in America anymore as we enter a bust economy. Who are the big stars? The ginger midget who loses anytime he doesn't fight a stiff? I don't even know. Boxing dies after Fury Usyk who hopefully both retire which will signal the Saudi's to pull the plug and invest in bitcoin.

    Inoue don’t need to fight in America. He is making a ton of money in Japan and Asia is the place for those smaller weight classes. Besides, America is so biased against foreign fighters why bother.

    Porter is wrong.

    Boxing is a global sport. Only Americans and the ignorant believe you should have to fight there to be a success.

    The arrogance is astonishing.

    Inoue isn't fit to shine pacs shoes, he's 31 years old and his 2 best wins are a 37 year old donaire and fulton. I don't have a problem with him staying in japan because historically nobody in the US cares about those tiny weight classes, gotta at least be 126+ (ideally 130+)

    Inoue is one of the most exciting fighters at any weight , and one of the best, regardless of his weight.


    And this bit is horse-****;
