Dude obliterates his competition... no questions asked !!! Not loma... not fury... not canelo... not usyk.... inoue blows them away. He makes Ward resume at 168 who I praise look like a walk in the park.
I only had usyk ahead because he is the ultimate road warrior and has won all his toughest fights away However, I do believe Inoue is rightly number 1 for the reasons the Op stated He's an absolute killer and technically very sound. I love watching his fights
The level of his opposition is shocking, comparable to Jermell Charlo Hes much better than Charlo but he needs some more quality wins
23-0 (20 KO) 16-0 (14 KO) in title fights. Destroyed the #1 in 3 divisions. Not beat — destroyed. Ducked by Chocolatito — Chocolito priced himself out (high risk, low reward) against an 8-0 Inoue. Ducked by Kal Yafai, Waushee Warren, Gary Antonio Russell Jr., and Casimero. Knocked out Payano, Rodriguez, McDonnell in under 4 rounds — COMBINED. Boxed 127 rounds in his 9 year career and lost AT MOST 6 rounds (with 4 of those going to Nonito after his eye socket was broken). Read that again. He's lost at the most 6 rounds. He's never been outboxed or outslugged. He has never looked lost — not even when Nonito broke his eye socket in the second round. He stayed completely calm and composed. Bam Rodriguez just lost more rounds in one fight (and received a gift) than Inoue has in his career. Power: A+ Speed: A Chin: A Ring IQ: A Footwork: A Ring Cutting: A Defense: A- Jab: A Right Hand: A Left Hand: A Body Punching: A Punch Selection: A Sequencing: A Countering: A Inoue dropped every single opponent he's fought and knocked out guys with both hands, to the head and body, going forward, fading back. This is not fanboying. These are facts. I believe Inoue's been having difficulty making 118 for the last 2 fights hanging around to get all the belts. When he gets to 122, he will be bigger and stronger and people will be shocked by how easily he destroys Fulton or MJ. I hope Fulton and MJ never fight so that Inoue can take both belts from both guys.
A dung beetle is pound for pound the most impressive creature in the world. Still a dung beetle though.
Stick Inoue on Usyk's shoulders and have them tag teaming Crawford and Spence and they still wouldn't be able to overcome Tyson Fury. Tyson Fury is the baddest man on the planet, whether you like it or not.
His hand would get stuck and he'd start crying as the crowd screams in horror as he slowly gets absorbed.
