Inoue is better than Canelo

Disagree on the resume part. Inoue's wins over Donaire, Narvaez, and Fulton are better than Canelo going life and death with an ancient and puffed up Miguel Cotto, getting gifted decisions over Lara, Trout, and GGG, and KOing a weight-drained, ageing, alcoholic Kovalev. Canelo's resume is smoke and mirrors, Inoue is the real deal and he is a dominant MFer.

 

Inoue is P4P #1. It is so apparent.

 

Water is wet.

 

We can argue about, chin, resume, athleticism whatever.

I bet we can all agree that the Monster is more entertaining to watch fight.

 

True, but Canelo was like “12 years old”
It was so looooong ago.

 

Oh, that old chestnut. I must've forgot that according to ESB he was still a green rookie of merely 43 bouts and 8 years pro when he fought Floyd.

 

Inoue does gets the nod over Nelo
Because of his willingness to fight every on comer.

 

Pre-pubescent even!

 

Canelo is very sharp and fast but he`s not a boxer he`s a striker that sets traps, however Inoue isn`t that skilled either despite having very good power and fast hands.

 

Canelo has fought much better opposition than inoue and will go down as the greater boxer.

 

Other than GGG, PBF, Kovalev and maybe Bivol (against which quartet he's officially 3-2-1, but arguably should be 1-4-1) - who in the blue hell are you talking about?

edit: actually scratch Kovalev, for the same reason I didn't include old shot Cotto and Mosley. 0-4-1 or even 0-5 on many fans' cards against the trio of GGG, PBF, and DB.

 

What great opposition? An ancient Golovkin who he only fought because he was looked shot against Jacobs? Or dragging up Amir Khan't, a natural super lightweight up to middleweight to fight him at a nonsense catch-weight? Or do you mean his excellent wins over the likes of Yildrim, Ryder, Chavez Jr, Liam Smith, Angulo, and Rocky Fielding? What about the natural welterweight Cotto who was massively past his prime and yet who still Canelo went 7-5 with at MW? Or his 168 run which comprises a weight-drained Mundo Smith who had just been gifted a decision over Ryder, the hype-job Plant, or the Euro-level BJS? Or maybe you mean his gifts over Lara and Trout from 10 years ago. No way does Canelo have a better resume than Inoue, Canelo has so many asterisks around his career it's laughable and refuses to fight the best contenders. Inoue hasn't ducked anyone, has never had a controversial decision, or tested positive. He's faced every challenger and champ he could get his hands on and he demolished every one of them. His wins over Nonito, Narvaez, and Fulton are better than any of Canelo's wins imo.

 

I'd say a legit win over even a moderately faded Golovkin would stand up to any of Inoue's best wins...but he doesn't have one.

(rubbermatch Golovkin was more than just moderately faded)
