Naoya Inoue's defense

Inoue has all the skills to be great, but just like Crawford he is missing that one fighter to cement his greatness. That fighter would be Cool boy Steph and Spence would be Crawfords ticket. Might, might not. Let the games begin.

 

Why does Fulton fulfill the criteria?

Angelo Leo, Brandon Figueroa, and Miguel Roman are hardly viewed as elite monsters... Those are Fulton's best wins. And Fulton didn't destroy any of them...

Similarly, MJ doesn't have any elite monsters on his resume that would propel Inoue's resume.

 

Because Figs is at 126 and Roman and Leo has been beaten by Steph. Steph is the king at 122 and that's were Inoue is headed next. Plus Steph is the one being targeted by Inoue's people. You already knew that so why you ask me that dumb ass question. You gotta beat the best to be the best.

 

Plus, you also know that Figs hits just as hard or harder than Inoue and it took him 11 rounds to stop that B class punching bag Butler. Steph won't be taking shots like that and will be returning fire in kind. He took Figs shots and didn't blink. If Inoue can beat Steph, then he has arrived at greatness for real.

 

So you are saying Inoue's power is overrated? Inoue himself is overrated? What?

You sound dumb.

 

Inoue's wanting to become undisputed at 122, so he wants the guys with belts — Fulton and MJ. If Roman had a belt, he'd be targeted as well. And Fulton ain't the King because he hasn't fought MJ, the other guy with 2 belts.

 

He is definitely the King and you know it. I have heard no mention of MJ and Inoue because anybody less than Steph would be considered less than the best and Inoue wants the best. ( so he says ) Spence got three belts, yet Crawford is the pfp best.

 

Never said that, What I said was that Figs brings just as much or more power to the table as Inoue and Steph dealt with that with no problem. So what makes you think that he is gonna crumble under Inoue.

 

Yeah right.

 

One of his weakest points is straight after throwing a combo, he drops his hands low for a second. Hes been dropped doing that before and hasn’t fixed it.

 

Look at his face after the Picasso fight. Appears to be unmarked.

 

I don’t know if I’m in the minority here but I think Inoue has either got somewhat poor defence or he just hasn’t been facing guys that make him improve.

The other night in my opinion was another example, he was getting hit with flush shots I really think he could of slipped or blocked.
