    I think he meant pound-for-pound, Inoue beating Fulton is more impressive than Loma beating anyone he has beaten. To clarify what I believe he meant:

    Loma started at 126, while Rigo started at 122. Loma possessed a 3 inch height advantage over Rigo, who he fought two divisions above anyone else who has fought Rigo. Linares started at 126 and is an inch taller than Loma. Campbell/Ortiz to this point are just nobodies at the world level in the pros, so I don't feel they deserve much mention.

    Inoue started at 108, while Fulton started at 122. Fulton has 2 inches of height on Inoue as well.

    It's more impressive for Inoue because Inoue is much smaller than Fulton while Loma is much larger than Rigo.

    Lmao, I mean these guys are multiple weight classes above Fulton so maybe. But none of them are better wins p4p when you bring in the context. LMFAO at Rigo, dude jumped 2 weight classes to fight Loma.

    Not even close. A lot of Inoue critics were jumping on the Fulton bandwagon when this fight was announced.

    Lmao.

    Linares
    Rigondeaux
    GRJ
    Walters (about the same)

    Inoue, same guy whos best win is beating an ancient Donaire who Rigondeaux dismantled with ease when he was at his very very peak. Inoue is a great fighter but hes getting the Crawford treatment, no great wins on his resume, mostly due to him being at weight with no real elite competition.

    Lmfao a 40 year old Rigo that went up 2 weight divisions gtfo?

    A linares who got ktfo his next fight and been knocked out how many times? Lmfao

    GRJ is his best win but Loma was way bigger than him, Fulton has a size advantage over Inoue.

    Walters? Lmfao you mean the guy who feasted on guys way smaller than him and was shelved for a year?

    Like I said Fulton > anyone loma has beat, unless he beats Haney.

    Estrada, Gonzalez, and Sor Rungvisai were definitely elite.

    Lomachenko doesn't really have elite wins either, unless an inexperienced GRJ counts.

    That would make him 7-1, and 6 of those matches against equally inexperienced boxers.

    Add in the am career and age >25 and, surprise, he was more experienced/prime than GRJ despite your weird fixation with EE and Russian fighters.

    Rigo who was almost 2 years younger than Inoues best win, he just turned 37 when fighting Loma not 40.

    Linares - An amazing boxer with a shaky chin who was on a 14 win streak coming off a better win than anyone Fulton has beat by far.

    Walters who was undefeated and beat a far fresher and 7-8 years younger version of Donaire, Inoues best win.

    GRJ speaks for itself, that was GRJ who still had the hunger and was one of the top 3-5 prospects in all of boxing alongside Loma

    I love how you ignore all context.

    Rigo moved up 2 weight clases and Inoue beat Donaire the first time at 36, so he was younger than Rigo. Convenient huh? Also stop trying to change the topic we re arguing if Fulton is a better win and he is.

    Linares beat someone who’s better than anyone Fulton beat? Who? Lmfao the guy Ryan Garcia destroyed? Lmfao!!! Fulton is an undefeated unified champ, funny how you bring undefeated up for Walters to back your argument up. How many losses did Linares have and who did he beat? It’s a decent win forsure but not comparable to beating s unified champ who has a far better win in Figgy.

    Again Walters had a huge size advantage against Nonito, the way Nonito was bigger than Inoue. Funny how you probably cry about Teos and Devins size advantage against Loma but size doesn’t matter in any other cases right?

    I actually rate the GRJ win highly but let’s play your game. I’m going to be irrational and unreasonable like you. Who had GRJ beat? Isn’t he the guy who lost against that bum Magyaso?

    Yet certainly for anyone else, you'd be one of those assholes saying, but... but... but... the amateurs mean nothing! Pro experience is different level!

    Is it really my "weird fixation" with EE fighters that's driving me, or your weird anti-EE fixation that's driving you? I mean, look at your ****ing avatar, the only one obsessed around here is you.

    Amateurs don't mean anything for pro resume, but it's still experience
