    It's hard to argue to the contrary but let me just say that a Fulton win puts him up there with the best there's ever been for sure. If he beats Tapales for two weight undisputed and perhaps chases even more titles at featherweight, we're talking about potentially the best fighter of our generation.

    It's hard to argue that he's not already the greatest fighter of this generation.

    19-0 (16 KO) in World Title fights.

    Lost just a handful of rounds over a 10 year career.

    Only guy in history to become Undisputed by KOing all four belt holders.

    Third time fighting the #1 guy in his first fight at a new weight class.

    This is it here, so many guys jump weights get one belt off the weakest titleholder and claim the achievement. Beating the man at each weight is a big deal

    He is already one of the best boxers in the history of the 122-.

    Yeah, I wish Inoue had tested out 122 with a Top 5 guy first. Aleem, Nery, or Casimero. 122 is stacked.

    You mean 118 as he's yet to throw a single punch at 122.

    :D

    Beat:

    Fulton
    Tapales
    Nery

    Undisputed at 122

    Then move up to 126 and become undisputed there too.

    My ideal scenario.

    If he loses to Fulton and he retired after no. If he loses and goes back to 118 and cleans out again with names like Bam Rodriguez etc, then yeah, he'd be an 118 ATG. He could have also just stayed at 118 and cleaned up for years like Wlad did and been an ATG.

    Possibly yeah. He's the best fighter in the sport right now imo.

    Losing to Fulton doesn't impact or take away what he's already achieved. It just means that he went up one weight class too far.

    I was going to say that. He's been the best boxer for a while now.

    Not a chance in hell he loses to Fulton. From 126 down there's nobody who can beat Inoue.
