    No he isn't. Paul Butler said he was tiny. Fulton also said Inoue is too small.

    So should all fighters who beat smaller guys moving up be given partial credit? So Maidana gets partial credit for beating a game Morales? Bradley gets partial credit for beating JMM? Hopkins gets partial credit for beating Trinidad and De La Hoya? There's no such thing as chasing greatness anymore, when it comes to your favorite fighters moving up? Got it.

    Paul Butler's a Bantamweight. When a Bantamweight has shared the ring with him and describes him as tiny, I'm more apt to believe him. Rodriguez and Donaire also referred to their size as a big advantage over Inoue. Fulton also said Inoue's too small. Tank said Inoue's too small. None of these guys are saying Inoue's the same size as Lomachenko. That's like 5 guys saying Inoue's small.

    Maidana most certainly gets partial credit for sneaking by an old and fat Morales. No one gives Hopkins much credit for beating ODLH. Bradley got full credit for beating JMM who yoked out, slightly bigger, and coming off the KO of the last 20 years.

    Of course Inoue's chasing greatness. He sought the fight out. Charlo taking the money. But Fulton gets partial credit because he'll be the significantly bigger man in the ring.

    Difference is Fulton should be fighting Inoue, Canelo should be fighting Benevidez not the 154 pound undisputed champion.

    Inoue is going to be the favorite over a guy who's supposed to be so massively bigger, that the oddsmakers feel he has a slight chance of winning. Lol... If Underdog Fulton wins he deserves full credit!

    Bone is the bedrock that determines the amount of muscle you can put on, your durability, the power your muscles can generate etc.

    Boxing is just two guys swinging their bones at each other, using the wrapped bones in their hands as clubs.

    Charlo is not thin-boned. He’s as thick as Canelo, only also longer. He might be a little lighter on the night, or he might not, but weight is always fluctuating and easily alterable, it will be a inconsequential considering their skeletons and Charlo’s length. I’d understand people’s complaints if Charlo was shorter/thinner than Canelo. Then we’d wonder if he can carry the weight, wonder if he can be fast enough to get in and out of Canelo’s reach etc.

    People grossly underestimating Charlo, this is t a “gimme” for Canelo. Not by a long shot, I’m interested to see the odds because this is a fight Charlo could win, not saying he will win, but if the odds are right it’s a chance to make some money.

    What if Jermall secretly goes in the ring and fights instead of Jermell? What if Canelo finds he's fighting BOTH brothers who are secretly switching places between rounds and coming out mysteriously fresh and rested each time? Can even Saul Cinnamon Alvarez stop two or more Charlos? This fight is tougher than some people realize..

    It's a very even fight because Charlo has great conditioning. He isn't known to fade in the late rounds like Canelo. So if Charlo can win some rounds early on and get the fight into the late stages, he can definitely win a decision on work rate. I mean, he'll probably out jab Canelo, he has the reach, and the foot speed to land jabs and get out of dodge. If he works behind the jab like he did in the Castaño rematch, and use hit footwork to keep Canelo at range, clinch when Canelo gets inside, time him with hooks when necessary, it's a difficult fight for Canelo to win on points.

    Unless Canelo can wear him down with body shots. Charlo could do to Canelo what he did to Castaño in the rematch, just come in super motivated, pick Canelo apart from the outside, not let Canelo land any big bombs and just win a decision. I definitely wouldn't count Canelo out, but Charlo is not going to be easy to break down or break his will. Even in Charlo's non-wins, he remained dangerous and in good condition late in those fights. Canelo's stamina has been an issue late in fights, so if the fight is even remotely close heading into the late rounds, expect Charlo to be the fresher fighter and outwork Canelo down the stretch which could win him the decision. It's very exciting to think about, because if Charlo wins he'd be DOUBLE Undisputed which would put him into rarefied air. I mean if Charlo pulls this off, he would accomplish something that maybe we'll never see again in our lifetime.

    Charlo is just gonna enjoy his severance package he can take it easy in camp and not diet so hard because there is 6 and a half kilos he doesn't have to lose. He must be laughing as he is in a fight nobody expects him to win he is getting a retirement fund and now he doesn't have to face a young hungry killer like Tszyu. No wonder these PBC guys all kneel to Al Haymon.

    He still wont be used to fighting at that weight against guys at that weight.

    Brook weighed more than GGG, he was still overpowered
