    No, he has to fight some potential HOF'ers and some boxers who test him and don't just fall down. Ali had his Frazier, SRL had Duran, etc. Like Donaire, who is the best and most impressive win on his record. And some "bums" like every other boxer ever.

    Personally I don't like to use the word "bum" with respect to boxers because I have so much respect for any man who steps into the ring.
    But that's just me.

    That's not at all what your post implied.

    Agree. Inoue is a special talent but it's far too early to be ranking him in historical terms he only just turned 28 so there's plenty of time for him to through the weight divisions and fight the best then we'll see if he can be ranked alongside the true ATG's.

    What would your top ten pound-for-pound all-time greats be, Segio?

    no. he is too inactive to achieve that plus there are a lot of ifs to his career, who knows how much he can climb. he is not even to asserting a claim as an atg in the lower divisions and the only remarkable win in his record is donaire. he is only 28 but only fights twice a year against decent opposition, beating the likes of moloney and dasmarinas wont elevate him in the atg lists.

    I don't really have one but the likes of SRR, Harold Greb, Rob Duran, Ali, Bill Pep, Leonard Benny, Leonard Sugar, and Ezzard Charley would probably feature in it.

    How highly do you rate Bill Conn?
