It is bizarre he's escaping these cheating accusations and they are only been levelled at Inoue. Floyd is on camera accusing Inoue of being a PED cheat after insisting Crawford is P4P#1 I've run into many of these Inoue is on PEDs haters on social media and every single one of them runs away when anyone asks them to compile a list of Japanese boxers who've tested positive for PEDs vs American ones who have. I've only heard of one Japanese boxer who has and they received a very harsh punishment IIRC
Thanks, someone on here posted about it and I just remember the punishment was really harsh compared to the ones other non Japanese PED cheats have received
I've heard of that Googly thing, that the new thing, right? I myself use the local library for research and sometimes hop onto the internet using this personal computer placed in the science fiction wing. It has a dial-up modem that goes pshhhkkkkkkrrrrkakingkakingkakingtshchchchchchchchcch*ding*ding*ding* and everybody looks at me strange and I'm embarrassed. Then I visit this home page called Yahoo where you just type in your inquiry (do not use capital letters or exclamation marks!) and it takes you to related home pages all around the globe. Or to undressed and unshaved ladies with nasty viruses, it's a 50-50% thing really. The other day one lady put her mouth right under the bush of this other lady and started acting like she's having vanilla ice cream. Very strange. The entire science fiction wing gathered around the computer and even the old librarian lady came about putting her spectacles on which she only does when someone asks for a very rare old book. Usually you just say "Schopenhauer, Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung" and she's like "ssssssh, this is a library, go to the 2nd floor, turn right, find the 5th aisle, 2nd column, 5th bracket, it's next to Nietzsche's "Also sprach Zarathustra: Ein Buch für Alle und Keinen", you can't really miss it".
Ofc I'm suspicious. You have to blind not to be suspicious. Carrying one-punch power like that through so many weights is not normal at all.
Since when does Crawford have one-punch power? He KOs out of combinations and consistent counter punching. He doesnt have a single KO before round 4 since he became an 8 rounder. There is a reason why he is the best finisher in the game, because he finishes. He always has to finish the job and he does it. It is not like Inoue at all, who decides a freaking lot of fights beterbievs' way with one devastating punch that demolishes his oponent, and with a siginficant amount of KOs in very early rounds. And all those people in this thread, acting as if it were completely normal. LOL. It looks like the woman caught in the bed with another man "it's not what it looks like, darling, this is perfectly normal and I have a perfectly fine explanation". I'm not saying he's cheating, and there is probably a perfectly fine explanation for this, but anyone not being a bit suspicious about this is blind or idiot.
Can you please give an explanation for his amateur stoppage ratio? That ratio is also extremely high & only achieved by a few others like Beterbiev whose amateur stoppage ratio seems to be 39% vs Inoue's 59%. For other boxers, less than 10% isn't unusual I believe this includes a stoppage win over Kenshiro Teraji while he was in 1st year of high school & Teraji in the 3rd year. Unfortunately no footage of the match seems to have survived: Naoya Inoue 16 years old and Kenshiro Kenshiro 17 years old at that time The fact that the current PFP No. 1 and No. 2 in the Japanese boxing world were competing against each other. The result was Inoue's KO win. In total, Inoue won two fights by KO. This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected Here is Leigh Wood saying that Inoue could probably carry up his power to 126 or even 130 after sparring him https://www.youtube.com/shorts/SrdeITNjD8o This was when Inoue was moving up from 115 to 118 to face Jamie McDonnell Note that stoppage ratio is also determined by a fighter's philosophy, there are many who just want to win but Inoue has explained many times that his goal isn't just to win but to win by a KO even if it means taking risks & entertain the fans because he says without fans there is no pro boxing. If you have seen the fights (Yuki Sano, Omar Narvaez, & David Carmona) where he broke his right hand you will see this philosophy in action. Crawford was ok with showboating & getting boo'd against Postol instead of finishing him even though that was his 1st PPV show & was defending Shakira's last stinker saying he got the win & that's all that matters Also how do you account for why his younger brother is such a featherfist (5 stoppages in 21 fights, might hold the record for the lowest stoppage ratio of any belt holder currently)?
Crawford wasn't ever a one punch KO artist Inoue has been blessed with that Asian Chi-Force Bruce Lee shocking one punch KO power from birth. He has a crazy high amateur KO% and why does his brother sport one of the most repulsive KO% of any champ in the sport? I would jack myself silly with every PED known to man if I had a sub KO40%, let alone a KO 25%. I would absolutely despise myself if I had a KO% that low. It's disgusting And one thing you have to factor in is even though Inoue is campaigning in his 4th weight and Crawford in his 3rd, both of them are facing opponents roughly their own size ie. weight. Crawford's S&C said he can walk around at 180 in shape and I've seen him weighing, in his own words, in the late 160s-170s and he was super lean If you think I'm exaggerating here it is straight from the horse's mouth This content is protected Why do you think Crawford has no qualms about moving up to 168 to fight Clenelo? Because Clenelo comes in about 178-180lbs and if they do fight I'm predicting Crawford will probably weigh about the same and if you think that's far-fetched look at how lean he looks in the video I posted weighing about 170 ish. And he's looking significantly more muscular and bulked up now since working with SNAC Inoue weighs 135 ish in the ring and the vast majority of these guys he's been facing at 118 and 122 weigh roughly the same as him and if they are heavier it's not by much. He's not routinely knocking guys dead who are 10-15lbs (or even more) heavier than him.
No you're not a fan you're one of those clowns who talks **** about a fighter over and over again but claims he's a fan. If you were a fan you wouldn't come up with this crap. You're an insecure Crawford fanboy scared that Inoue will ( for me he already has) surpass him in the pound for pound rankings. Clear as ****ing day.
Weight classes are about proportions. Those 4 pounds at 118 and 122 or even 126 are supposed to be synonymous w the 7 pounds between JWW/WW/JMW. And power traveling up 3 and 4 weight classes is so remarkable it warrants a closer look.
Its pretty easy to like both Inoue and Bud. I enjoyed Buds rise MORE because of the LDBC and entire PBC fanbase who are unacceptably annoying to me. To be clear, Inoue already has a superior career than Bud. Crawford is going for a 3rd weight class so that may change things, but Inoue will also try that in fue time. Inoue and Bud are must-see boxing for me. It pans me to say I dont even watch Canelo every time out anymore. He's just not in exciting fights and is avoiding Benavidez (or even Crawford)
Its okay for EVERYONE in this thread to debate but no reason to attack each other. Inoue is approaching greatness not seen in a LONG time. Naturally you start to wonder how is he so great? Whats he doing special? Whats different? My main concern is the Beterbiev (or even GGG at 160) analogy who has notorious power at 175, but thats his ONLY weight class so i can kind of give him a pass. Inoue is doing the same thing 3 and 4 weight classes in. If it were so easy - every fighter would be doing it... Innocent until proven otherwise, absolutely. Just pointing out some peculiar things
