Yeah. I think Fulton is going to move up (he's very, very keen on fighting a guy he already fought for 1/10th the money he'd get vs Inoue) and it will be Inoue vs Aleem for the vacant WBO.
Fulton's definitely much bigger, but I also think Inoue's gonna be bigger, stronger, and faster at 122.
Fulton is the best fighter at 122 not only in my eyes but many experts eyes as well. He's a unified champion and has a skill set that would give Inoue big problems that has to be respected. I hope the fight happens, because it will give him the opportunity to prove it against arguably the best p4p in the world. FTR I have Inoue behind Usyk, but he's clearly top 2 best fighter in the world so imagine how big that would be for his career i f he can win which I think he has a great shot at doing.. And I know people will pick Inoue to wreck Fulton that happens anytime there's a "Monster" puncher pun intended fighting. It happened with Tyson-Douglas as well and we saw how that fight played out. This could turn out to be that Tokyo Douglas moment of the modern day era. Hopefully it happens and we get to see it play out.
I hope it happens to and then we'll see how good Fulton really is. He doesn't look exceptional to me, but that's just my opinion and I think it will take someone exceptional to beat Inoue not just good. As for the Douglas/Tyson comparison, I don't see it like that, Inoue won't go off the rails like Tyson did which is why Douglas beat Tyson. Inoue seems pretty focused on boxing and doesn't seem to the type to be distracted by the trappings of success or have the inner demons Tyson had that could derail a fighter.
Im talking about Tyson being picked by everybody and their mama to wreck Douglas, that was the reality of the situation despite whatever issues Tyson was having behind the scenes. Thats the case here, only difference is Fulton is the champion where Inoue is but the Challenger. Thats my point . Fulton wull not be an easy fight.
I get what you are saying and yes maybe you're right and the majority have got it wrong but I just don't see it. Lets hope Fulton gets passed Figueroa first and Fulton drops back down to 122 to defend his titles there against Inoue, because while I have Inoue a clear favourite I do think he's the best test for Inoue at that weight.
