So Inoue number one now?

Inoue at 31-32 has been dropped x 2 by the same punch within the space of a year by fighters his size not giants who absolutely dwarfed him. Usyk at 39 y/o when well past his prime ate massive flush bombs from a giant who whipped them in with speed and full leverage and Usyk didn't come close to touching down.

If Inoue ate shots like that from much bigger man he'd be flatlined, let alone a way bigger one who held an obscene size advantage over him

How could he not when guys his size are dropping him hard and hurting him?

Even worse, Inoue was also hurt by MJ so that's x 3 he was dropped or hurt in the space of 5 fights and 16 months all against opponents his size.

I love Inoue and I'm not hating but a lot of this Usyk hate (not saying most of it is as it's mainly coming from Americans and my fellow Brits and the boxing nostalgists) is coming from Inoue fans who always start this crap hating on his P4P rivals for no reason but when you give them a taste of their own medicine by way of retaliation they get all bent out of shape and start playing the victim and FTR I'm alluding to some Inoue fans not all of them.

Why do they feel the need to constantly do this and I only react to them doing it?

These same people deem it completely unfair for Inoue to face opponents who don't hold remotely near the obscene size advantage over him than Rico does over Usyk and Usyk is routinely giving away at HW, even in Inoue's backyard, and if he were to lose at 33-34 y/o to a bigger opponent they would attribute the lose to age and size

 

Inoue is indisputably P4P#1 now but even in his 4th weight class (5th from the one he started out from) he's fighting guys his size or a couple of pounds heavier, or at worst very rarely 5-7lbs heavier, not power punching giants who absolutely dwarf him like Usyk has been doing during his entire tenure at HW and if he was doing what Usyk was doing and was even giving up 50% of the size Usyk is vs savage punchers and legit bangers much or way bigger than him he would have been flatlined numerous times already and he's only recently turned 33 not 39

He's amazing but not only isn't he giving away close to the huge size advantages Usyk is no one in the P4P top 10 is, if and when he starts doing so let me know because we can time how long and how many fights it takes for him to get slept or knocked absolutely senseless ie. not very long at all.

 

As for Shakur


Interviewer: ''You saw Loma recently, how was that?''

Shakur: ''Yeah I seen him. He looked small. That's what I really was thinking. He's tiny for 135, I just moved up and I felt way bigger than Lomachenko''

Interviewer: ''He's like a natural featherweight''

Shakur: ''I think he should go back down. I think he'd be a lot better at 130''

"Devin is too big. Like, I think the size ... don't get me wrong, Lomachenko can fight. Devin is way out of his weight class. He's going to make 35 and then shoot up to 150 or 160 (actually 160) 9 times out of 10, and Lomachenko is going to be 137 or 138, so it's just not even fair to me''


“I didn’t like the way he looked against Ortiz. I saw him in the gym two or three weeks ago, he looked like a 126lb fighter, he doesn’t look like a 135lb fighter.

A guy who wants a rehydration clause to cripple Conor Benn

"I'm not no idiot. I don't [want to fight]... some [of] these guys that's way bigger than me".

--Shakur Stevenson

Even Crawford never fought anyone much bigger than him, let alone way bigger

"My thing is Benavidez is a big dude. Not to say I won't fight him (no you absolutely won't lol). I fought his brother and his brother was big when I fought him.

The only reason why I entertain Clenelo is because he's not a big dude. He might be thick but he's not a big dude. Benavidez is like 6'2'' and then he gonna come it at 190 . 200, probably. That's a big dude.''

''You just size them up. Size them up. Especially when you go into a bigger weight class. You size them up and see your advantages''

“He got a little wider frame, but he’s a little shorter. But all in all, we’re around the same size. So, by y’all saying, ‘Oh, Canelo’s this massive size,' it was disrespect. Then, when y’all seen me weigh in, then y’all say, ‘Oh, well, they about the same.' It’s not a big difference.''

So from their own mouths they're telling you how much they believe sizes matters
