Inoue is the new Chocolatito

Inoue is a more explosive, complete fighter.

And this is coming from a big Choc admirer, not some Inoue nut-hugger.

 

He flew under the radar for a long time. I think he was 46-0 when his fights started showing on HBO. Pretty much on the tail end of his career. Plus you had prime Golovkin, Kovalev, Ward, Loma all bouncing around. Tough list to be a stand out in. Dude was solid.

 

Inoue would have put Chocolatito in the dirt. Smart career move when Chocolatito turned down the fight.

 

I did.Go check my analysis i pointed out that Fulton was gonna get caught and because he makes a lot of mistakes.Isn’t as slick as blck media on yt portrayed a bunch of arm chair boxing analys lol.I did pick Fulton because he was bugger and murican.Should of just kept it 100 followed my head instead.Sue me!!

 

nah, choclatito is a neverwas

 

Maybe.

Choc would have been the most offensively gifted fighter Inoue has ever fought (one can make the case that Donaire is a harder puncher/explosive, but Choc is more dynamic).

 

Definitely.

Inoue's full suite of tools (even at 11-0) plus size advantage would have shut all that noise down in a couple of rounds. Chocolatito's offensive output would have been drastically reduced and he'd get knocked out.

Inoue's destruction of Narvaez probably spooked Chocolatito, TBH.

 

Like I said, maybe.

I like Inoue. He's my current P4P numero uno.

I just don't like him as much as you do. Then again, I doubt anyone outside of Inoue's immediate family does.

 

Inoue definitely shows a special level of talent above and beyond what just dedication to ringcraft can get you. He's extremely quick of hand and foot, has excellent reactions, balance, command of distance, but as the Fulton fight showed he's utterly fearless and can pull out those special performances when his back's against the wall (metaphorically speaking).

His punching power is also insane, and he can punch hard with almost any shot he throws, including his jab. That's a function of his excellent punch technique coupled with the above qualities though.

 

Also Chololatito was an extremely good boxer, like Calderon before him. Being compared to him should be a compliment for any boxer.

 

You're a dummy. You said Inoue needed to test himself against an American fighter. Then when the fight was signed, you started making all sorts of excuses. Now that Inoue completely destroyed Fulton, you're moving goalposts again.

Disgraceful. You've no shame.

 

I couldn't agree, more.

 

Terrible post.

 

I couldn't agree more, again.

There are six divisions below featherweight, every three to four pounds.

That would be like having a weight division roughly every six to eight pounds over 210.

The 210 pound division. The 216 pound division. The 224 pound division. The 230 pound division. The 236 pound division. The 244 pound division. And then everything over 250 is the biggest division.

I have been following boxing forever, and I could NEVER get excited, no matter how hard people insist I "should" be excited, about someone winning belts in three divisions a couple pounds from each other (for example, three divisions like 105, 108 and 112).

The difference between seven pounds to a 105-pounder and 14 pounds to a 210 pounder are the same. And nobody is throwing parades for a 210-pounder if he beats a 216-pounder and a 224-pounder ... and they certainly don't call him a three-division champ for doing so.

It's always been ridiculous. It's a money grab for orgs. That's all.

Inoue seems like a great fighter. He's exciting. But labeling everyone he fights - like Stephen Fulton, who I'd never even heard of before they signed to fight - a great fighter because he has a couple belts in a bad division is a bit much.

Is it Manny Pacquiao, Marco Antonio Barrera, Stephen Fulton, Wilfredo Gomez, Eric Morales, etc.? Of course not.
