    Inoue resume and career need no defense. It speaks for itself. If you cant read or comprehend the excellence he's accomplishmed that's a "you" problem.

    You are some random fan behind a monitor so when you say "its totally obvious" that literally means nothing. Roach has fought 28 times and 27 fights have happened at 130 or lower - that's literally reality. Fighters only cut weight and drain themselves for competitive advantage. If Roach or any of his team felt they could operate as effectively at 135 as they do at 130 they would've moved up already, but they didnt because - obviously - they felt more comfortable at 130. The takeaway is you are wrong and your opinion doesnt mean ****.

    You must be new to the sport. Roach was a decorated am at 132. He didn't have the right push by promoters and was fighting part time as a pro. PBC got him the shot at 130. He's probably better at 135, but that's politics. Win the belt at 130 and fight Tank at 135 was the path laid out for him.

    Well yes it is. The reasons hes not as highly ranked p4p is because unlike those ranked above him, he's never faced the best in his division.

    Usyk has faced Fury
    Crawford has faced Spence
    Inoue has faced Tapales
    Bivol has faced Beterbiev
    Beterbiev has faced Bivol

    Etc

    Wahid hasnt yet faced the best in his division.

    At the end of the day Inoue is an ATG and Gervonta is a club level fighter.

    Oh and Roach TKO 9.

    You can't be listing Tapales with a straight face. The great thing about pfp is that you can disregard those sorts of wins whereas you can't when stuck within the shallow and forgettable divisions in which they took place.

    What does anything you posted have to do with what I posted? Roach 28 total pro fights, 27 at 130 or below. Your opinion saying Roach is "probably better at 135" has literally zero basis in reality. And now your making gross generalizations about PBCs operations? Jesus Christ, your deluded mind playing tricks on you again. Please see your doctor.

    And why are you bringing up amateur records? This conversation is about a pro fight between two pros. Both pros involved have been pros for like 10 years. What is the relevance?

    Take your loss and SIT DOWN, sir

    Of course I can. The man who beat MJ and had 2 out of the 4 belts when Inoue had the other 2. That's exactly the fight everyone wanted to see, and it happened, and Inoue won.

    It would be like now if Wahid beat Shakur, Keyshawn and Loma.

    He literally fought above 130 over a decade ago when he didn’t have to deal with boxing politics.

    Boxing politics lmao. He got a shot at the 130 pound title a long time ago and got beat by Herring and he still continued to campaign at that weight for years. Your casual ass didn't even knew who he was or even talked about him until he signed to fight Gervonta.

    I'm gonna have a moment of silence in honor of your dead brain.

    Roach was underrated, I always rated him as a good fighter despite being one of the more underrated champions around right now, but he’s not a better opponent than Tapales just because he incidentally did well-ish against a lacklustre Tank. Inoue would straight up beat Roach, so imagine what would happen if they were the same size
