Inoue's resume is just too weak to seriously be placed over Usyk or Bud

    Bud has a relatively weak resume for an elite P4Per too for sure but its clearly better than Inoue

    Spence
    Madrimov
    Gamboa

    Porter
    Kavaliauskas
    Benavidez
    Postol

    Idongo
    Ricky
    Horn
    Prescott
    Dulorme

    First 3 Inoue has beaten no fighters as good as prime versions of Spence, Gamboa and Madrimov. Donaire if he wasnt past his prime wouldve been in that group but he wasnt. Inoues best wins are more in line with 2nd bunch and thats 5-6 guys then most if Inoues resume is that last bunch. The Butlers, Doheny, McDonnell etc

    Surely no one is really saying that Spence was prime? Car accident and eye injury and drained half to death as well. Not that I'm saying prime Spence would have done any better but it has definite asterisks.

    As does Porter in the manner his da threw in the towel, as does one-leg Benavidez.

    Madrimoz I think will end up being Bud's best win, but remains to be seen how Inoue's pans out.v

    If you think Fultons comeback fight was bad, wait and see how Spence’s corpse does in a few months :lol:

    The Inoue detractors should probably stop making silly threads like this every time he takes a breath, cause the gap between him and the two geriatrics is only gonna get bigger when they both retire and he inevitably continues beating top opposition.

    Inoues resume is already better and deeper than Crawfords and is much deeper than Usyks despite him being 6 years younger than both.

    For now it’s Usyk>Inoue>=Crawford but in 5 years time is this really even gonna be a debate? Inoue will have clearly separated himself by then

    Atm Inoue is good as anyone p4p i get it if you were to say Usyk/Crawford & maybe Canelo over the years he's been @ the top.

    Fulton is still traumatized by the Inoue loss. He doesn't love the sport of boxing anymore, that's why he looked like trash last night.

    You can watch the interview. He's a changed man. At 29:25, you can see his attitude toward the sport.

    Yeah, it’s splitting hairs at that point, they’re all great and even though I make a point to say I think Inoues resume is overrated and not as good as Usyks - that doesn’t mean I think less of Inoue as a fighter.. he’s awesome for sure, and earning a spot within the top 3 p4p among any fan pretty much says it all - regardless of how the 3 are ranked by different people..

    Just saying this because I don’t want anyone to view me as a “detractor” of Inoue - quite the opposite.

    Actually, the three of them seem to be great ambassadors of the sport both in the ring and outside of it, how lucky are we for that, and how often does THAT happen?

    Well… if we’re being 100% honest, Usyk’s resume is way better than ‘bud’s’ too.

    Inoue swept all the competition, it's not his fault that he stands out so much from the competition.
