    Spence has a top 5 resume. How is he overrated?

    Half of the guys you named didn't even fight in the same division as Inoue at any point. Really showing you know about the lower divisions lol.

    Like Bam, Yamanaka, Ioka, Nietes have never been in the same division as Inoue at any point. Estrada had only had a loss to Wangek at SFW before Inoue moved up. "The top guys" did not exist in the context you are framing it, none of these guys except Gonzalez and Wangek were rated as a "top guy" while Inoue fought in their division.

    Yes, Narvaez, who was reigning champion and rated #1 in his division before Inoue brutally knocked him out. Donaire, a HoFer who Inoue KOd in 2 did beat him, yes. He was still the #1 in his division at the time of the fight.

    That ugly buck tooth ass clown Shakur is overrated he seriously fights like a cat and has no power. I reckon his nickname should be Cat Woman it would suit him.

    Stop making ridiculous excuses. He didn’t fight any of the top guys at 115 and it’s not difficult for 115s to fight 118s. His ass could’ve fought Yamanaka if he wanted to. Bam is a huge 115 and I’ve never heard a peep from Inoue’s team about him. But ****ing Butler is legit bc of a paper title?

    Let him fight MJ if he wants to truly have n elite resume.

    It's not that good a list.

    most of the best nations at boxing don't even have fighters small enough for those divisions, or they don't turn pro in those divisions.

    Gotta be Josh Taylor based on this list. He’ll get exposed eventually.

    A razor thin win over Shawn Porter who Kell Brook defeated in his own backyard, a weight drained Kell Brook coming down 14lbs with a broken orbital bone in his previous fight against GGG, a Danny Garcia who has lost against every top opponent he has faced except from Amir Khan, and a 10 stone Chris Algieri. His best win is a 36 year old Yordenis Yugas.

    To be fair to him he had a lot of weight issues because of an injury. Watch his BBC documentary in the lead up to the Catterall fight and you’ll see what I mean. He’ll beat Catterall via a close points decision most likely next year. Taylor Prograis will always be a close fight and the first one could have went either way.

    Getting a decision is more convincing than a Knockout victory? LOL

    That's how convincing Crawfords dominance was against Porter. Papa knew his boy would only get whooped more. They had nothing for Crawford. Father knows best.
