Anyone a wee bit suspicious of Inoue?

The only reason I see Crawford as probably being clean is that he doesn't execute his opponents. He hits them w clean and sharp counter punches and as the saying goes the punches you dont see hurt the most. Also, Bud usually makes guys mentally quit before theyre stopped. And lastly, Bud is not a small WW. Just cause Spence was bigger doesnt mean Bud is small. Bud is a medium to large WW and Spence was L-XL. Bud also needed like 6 years or something to unify and part of that was promoter antics while the other part was him needing time to acclimate.

I am very far from a Floyd fanboy. He was an ATG without a doubt but I had him losing JLC1 and a draw in Maidana 1. I also have Inoue firmly #1 PFP. Usyk would have to absolutely wipe Fury to get #1 and Crawford cannot retake #1 beating Madrimov imho...but if he beats Fundora in winter and snags more belts at '54 a conversation could be had

 

That and his "abnormal" test...again, his levels were abnormal but not cheating...IDK. But there's precedent where a guy can rule a division in the manner he has so I try not to make every standout a cheat.

 

I cant tell if your complementing or criticizing. Please explain yourself

 

With Bud it seems his opponents have been somewhar watered down. Porter on his last legs, Spence looking like Skeletor at the weigh-in, Benavidez w one leg, Horn who was a hypejob, Mean Machine who was formidable but not at that top level, Khan whose glass had been shattered a half dozen times already, etc. So Crawford never really dominated the way Inoue has. Arguably Crawfords best opponent was Postol and Bud landed a KD or two then boxed safely. He didnt seem too confident to fight w Postol so he boxed.

Maybe youre right and maybe Crawford should be under a microscope too? The only time Ive seen Crawford do something weird was that first KD against Spence...it was odd. It was also an arm punch. The only caveat was that Spence was clearly off balance. And nothing like that happened again in the fight. Spence got outboxed and tagged in a way that the lopsidedness made sense. Maybe you saw it different?

 

What other fighters are in their 3rd and 4th weight class and achieved undisputed in one year, in their 4th division, with virtually all stoppages?

Typically power kind of plateaus at a point but Inoue always seems to be the power puncher. I must add that Inoue boxing and technique are phenomenal. His timing is great and his instincts are spot-on. The 1st and 2nd Nery KD just seemed strange. Inoue did torque the punches but they were only top half hooks and fighters can usually weather that in round 2
