    The weight difference between Clenelo and Crawford isn't much more than it is between Twink and Inoue and Crawford and it will be about the same with the 154 version of Crawford

    And Crawford is the one who has been calling Clenelo out and saying he can beat him at 168 partly because he knows that the weight difference isn't near as most think it is and even then it still won't be near the kind of physical advantages Loma is routinely giving away at 135 which is crazy because Crawford has a much longer reach than Clenelo and I've seen Crawford weighing about 170, 8-10lbs less than what Clenelo comes in at, and he has plenty of room to bulk up and add more muscle which he's already been doing.

    That being said, I don't recall seeing people calling for Crawford to jump up three divisions to face Clenelo, other than maybe a handful of haters or said in jest. Everyone wants a part of those Clenelo sweepstakes just like they did with Floyd but it would be ridiculous to expect Crawford to move up to 168 to face him or try to discredit him for not doing so.

    The only fighter I expect and long to see him fight is Super Boots because he deserves his shot and for me, along with Beterbiev vs Bivol and Usyk vs Belly, it's one of the most intriguing fights out there and I want me having picked Super Boots via KO and preaching he's the truth to be validated.

    Hunter, like his pals, is just jealous of Inoue and wants to have him fight at an extreme disadvantage so he can proclaim a ‘gotcha’. Let the goblin tank move up and fight at welterweight. Why do all of tanks opponents have to fight at a disadvantage when they fight him? Inoue don’t need to come to the states. He’s huge in Asia which is a bigger market. These agenda driven clowns like hunter are pathetic.

    This is a thread about Inoue and you trying to discredit him saying his division is weak even though you picked a guy in his division Fulton to beat him.

    I also said I didn't have a problem with inoue being elevated to #1 p4p he was #2 on my list. anyway

    We all get picks right and wrong at times.

    Obviously we all get picks wrong but you were trying to knock his resume. You claim to recognize greatness yet you picked Fulton to beat him.

    When have I claimed to recognize greatness? I can spot talent, skills and warriors I have never claimed to recognize greatness like some arrogant douche bag.

    If he's not a hypocrite he should put Andrade up against a heavyweight. Same amount of divisions jumped.

    If it's reasonable to demand Inouefight Davis at 135lb then it would be reasonable for Gervonta should fight Tszyu or Crawfish at 154lb

    What wouldn't he get credit for? Are you saying Shakur needs to build more of a rep/record or....?

    Boxing is a what have you done lately for me sport. Based off his last performance they’d say he’s scared and has a glass jaw.
