Can it be anymore obvious that PBC fighters were protected and dropped like flies after they stepped up in competition? Rumors are swirling about that PBC is basically done. Where Tank finna go?
Each guy you named didn’t fight for at least 15 months before getting dominated. I think their model of keeping fighters inactive has done more damage to their careers than anything. It’s ok when they are fighting other inactive PBC fighters but when fighting someone who’s sharp and has been fighting consistently it’s evident what the result will be. Look at Josh Taylor another guy who wasn’t active and looked like a shell of himself against Teo who didn’t look particularly good in his previous fight but was active enough to be much sharper than Taylor. Inactivity kills careers.
Stop the cap. Fulton fought Roman on 6/4/2022 and Inoue on 7/25/2023, so a little over a year, which isn't terrible. Crawford did fight a drained to death and damaged Spence who'd been out close to 16 months. And yeah, Clenelo fought an inactive Charlo, but Charlo's never been anything beyond a decent fighter. There have been plenty of fighters who have taken long layoffs and came back to dominate like they never missed a beat.
Oh wow instead of 15 it was 13 months for Fulton. Again I’m not saying these guys would have beaten any of their opponents even if they were active as we can pretty much agree that all 3 are possibly ATGs. I’m simply stating that each guy looked extremely flat and not sharp which in my opinion inactivity plays a huge part in that. I even mentioned how Josh Taylor looked after the layoff. Teofimo looked flat early against Kambosos after a year off and not to mention Loma started flat against him after being out 14 months. Yes guys has looked good after long layoffs but if you’re gonna fight a possible ATG you have to be sharp and fully prepared/tiptop shape and fighting 2 times in 3 years does not help that at all.
Inoue was also the much smaller man coming up in weight with no tuneup fight. And it's not like Inoue overwhelmed Fulton with activity resulting in Fulton getting caught early and not being able to recover/get his rhythm going. Naw, Inoue boxed his ass off and then finished him. It was a flawless boxing clinic with a violent finish.
Loma was out for 14 months going into the Teofimo fight and injured. The size difference between Teofimo and Loma is significantly more than it is between Clenelo with his smelly orangutan hair transplant and Jermello as it is between Loma and everyone he's facing up at 135. Not a peep about 'inactivity'' from the brigade on social media that time But they sure did sing long and loud about inactivity when Nick Walters had been out 11 months going into the Loma fight though. Not a peep about size from the size queens when Loma's routinely giving away huge physical advantages that no one else in the P4P top 10 but on the extremely rare occasion he's been the bigger man we never hear the end of it despite the fact he's often giving away more weight, reach and size than his opponent was in that one. Man they hate to see a deep Soviet brother at the top doing his thing and living lifestyle flashy
