Crawford or Inoue, Who's Better?

Inoue is better on the frontfoot and obviously has better p4p power, but Crawford is the better overall fighter.

 

Inoue is probably my favourite fighter to watch right now. That killer instinct combined with those skills and power. That said, I’m not even sure if he would beat Rigo now.

 

Why are people saying he struggled against Donaire? No doubt Donaire turned back the clock and had the fight of his life but it’s not like Inoue was losing the fight by any means. He was winning rounds comfortably and while Donaire did hurt him in the second round, Inoue still continued to dominate albeit a broken orbital bone and Donaire targeting it all night.

Inoue isn’t in his prime yet and it was his first real test and did fantastic against a fighter like Donaire.

 

Inoue all day long.

 

Crawford has more dimensions.

 

Broken orbital bones happen to people with defensive shortcomings.

 

Pipo is filipino, but at least he's honest about it. And Filipinos don't hate Japanese people, my maid was Filipino growing up, and there were tons of Filipinos in Japan.

 

If they were the same mass, Inoue would beat Crawford. He punches too hard, and Crawford is too hittable.

 

Crawford. Being able to fight both Southpaw and Orthodox is a skill. Crawford has FAR more speed and is better at timing/trading with opponents. Far better footwork. Inoue has better power and balance and chin.

 

Yup!

 

No, let crawford fight spence.

 

After Saturday night this will be interesting. If Crawford wins he and Inoue will be argued as the #1 best boxer in the world. For years fighters like Lomachenko, Canelo and Usyk were thrown in that discussion as well. Should be interesting to see who ends up being considered the best boxer of this era

 

I completely disagree with this. Crawford is the more versatile fighter. I understand what you mean about fighting off the front foot but Crawford is arguably the best switch hitter in boxing history.

 

After watching Inoue vs Fulton im not sure that Crawford has far more speed. I still think he has more speed but I may have exaggerated by how much.

 

Except for Spence, who personally telephoned him when negotiations were stalled.
