    They’re very obscure, which is why I don’t pay attention to them. Lmao.

    What was fultons biggest payday prior to Inoue? That’s the definition of obscurity. Nobody knows you that’s why nobody pays for your fights. Obviously obscurity isn’t relative to the boxing names.

    And ? Rungvisai also beat Estrada you make it sound like a bad thing. Infact Rungvisai had a string of 3 back to back wins over Gonzalez x2, Estrada, which is probably one of the most impressive string of victories in recent memory.

    And Inoue never lost let alone 2x to the same guy, Inoue is Inoue and never will be the new Chocolatito.
    Inoue is Inoue, Chocolatito is whoever Chocolatito is.

    I'm a huge Finito fan but Chocolatito and Inoue have surpassed Finito in a P4P sense a while ago. Both of them have a far more impressive resume despite Finito's longer title defenses. Chocolatito and Inoue are special talents and already a future HOFers.

    Well you could argue Rungvisai, Estrada, are better opponents than anyone Inoue has fought and I like Inoue.

    Donaire was 36 and 39 years old in both fights which is old for a fighter in the lower weightclasses, and Fulton was a decent champion but only has 8 stoppages.

    Rungvisai in his prime was a heavy handed Southpaw with 44 stoppages, and Estrada is one of the best technical fighters.

    Honestly I love Ricardo Lopez but hes overrated for me, had he moved up sooner and beat Gonzalez, Carbajal, I'd rate him higher.

    I would have favored Lopez to beat Chiquita and Carbajal but he didn't get the chance to face either of them. He also had the frame to move up as high as Flyweight and it would have been nice to see him face the likes of Mark Johnson or Yuri Arbachakov.

    I mean, let's be real though, Estrada is basically the same size as Inoue (half an inch shorter, one inch less reach, started a division above Inoue) and Fulton would beat him probably without losing a round. You have to adjust victories for size when determining pound for pound. Fulton started four divisions above Inoue.

    Nonito would violently stop Rungvisai, Chocolatito, and Estrada. Prime and as recently as 2022.

    Inoue would also crush all 3 guys - 4 including Cuadras.

    You think Fulton beats Estrada without losing a round really ? Unless I've read that wrong and you mean Inoue ?

    But Estrada is a top 10 P4P fighter and has been beating elite fighters for the past 5 years. Fulton to me was just a decent champion and he only has 8 stoppages, the only question mark was whether Inoue would be as effective at Featherweight. But really it was a mismatch with the difference in class between Fulton and Inoue.

    I beg to differ I think Estrada beats Donaire but that's another debate.

    But Inoue hasn't beaten a top 10 P4P fighter and Gonzalez, Rungvisai, Estrada, were all top 10 P4P fighters. And I would say in a P4P sense they're all better than any of Inoue's opposition outside of Donaire who was on the wrong side of 30.
