Someone please explain how Inoue is #1 P4P.

What a strange take. Davis avoided Teo, Haney, Loma, and Shakur, and only fought RyGa w a catchweight AND rehydration clause. Inoue is in his 4th weight class alrdy and is set to move to 126 shortly, his 5th weight class, and you think Gervonta wouldve EVER fought him if they were the same size? Gervonta wont even clear his name versus Pitbull or Roach. Odd take...wrong take.

Bambam is a great fighter, love watching him. He's literally two weight classes smaller than Inoue. Bam has talked about moving up, where he'd be 1 weight class smaller, but Inoue has talked about moving up himself for at least a year now. I would rather Inoue try for 3x undisputed at 126 - there's enough time for that, hopefully.

 

I'm starting to think that this imbecile is @tinman alt. He has the same dumbest takes as him.

 

Who the **** are you?

"p4p" is nonsensical.

 

Contrary to the endless waffling by social media platforms/TV networks, there has been no 'P4P King' in recent years. We've had three guys, all undefeated (one now retired), who took chances and were super dominant. Flip them how you like. It means little.

With Inoue - as is oft the case when you're so good - there's been some goal-post shifting. Sure, we'd all like that mega-fight, but we must acknowledge that this 5'5", former light-flyweight has almost beaten the entire top ten at super-bantam. In his last two fights, first against his #1 contender, and then against another top ten, it's arguable that he didn't lose a single round - not 1 in 24. Inoue looked brilliant against Picasso. So quick and poised. There is indeed a bit of Roy and Floyd in the Japanese.

The endemic lack of knowledge on the lower weights means fans will always push back when smaller guys begin to shine...and proceed to make broken arguments. Some suggested that Chocolatito was in a weak division when it starred Estrada, Rungvisai, Cuadras, and even Inoue himself for a time! What's next, Muhammad Ali wasn't influential? As it stands, I still feel like Usyk has the best record. Inoue might be the most impressive to watch (not necessarily better) when I've also got Usyk and Bud in mind. There's talent to burn...but, at 32, not too much time left.

There's been no quick jump to feather because Inoue is already undersized.

 

I'd say it's because of how good he looks in there against really decent fighters and makes them look d level.

For me to overtake usyk I'd like to see him beat reasonably good solid featherweight
But obviously now bud has retired he has to be my number 2 and like I said if he beats a half decent featherweight then he goes number 1

 

Im the judge and the jury and you're guilty of being an ATG dumbass.

 

and the eye test. I’m a big fan of Bam, but last morning watched Nakatani and thought “I think Bam’s got this”, while watching Inoue and thinking “I think Bam’s in trouble here”.

nakatani looked human. Inoue did not, he just happened to be up against a very good, very very defensively responsible opponent.

 

Inoue's beat wins are nothing but pensioners

 

Usyk is the clear #1 he’s arguably the GOAT, Inoue is the clear #2. No one is close to the #1 or #2 spot. Who would you have replacing Inoue at 2? @Austinboxing

 

Why?

 

nobody. But I think Crawford is a solid #3. Or Bam.

 

Crawford is retired and Bam can’t lace Usyk or Inoue’s boots @CST80 kid is talented but I need to see him fight a young guy like Nakatani did with real power and chin. It’s a diff ball game once you start fighting dudes your size and bigger. Bam been feasting on smaller dudes.
