    I did see him crack him good and Inoue certainly didn't intentionally let him crack him round the side of his mind with this full power hook.

    Mercifully for the malnourished leprechaun toddler-sized Inoue pretty much every female boxer on the planet hits way harder than Fulton does so Inoue was able to take it.

    As for me predicting Inoue would KO all these fighters from much higher divisions

    And make no mistake I do own my words

    And what's more I'm thoroughly delighted to do so because they cannot be anything other than profound and great when you look at the source

    Well, I've been telling you all for years Inoue was going to smoke all these guys at 118 and become undisputed and then do the same at 122 so all my predictions, as they invariably do, have come to pass

    And let's not forget that not a solitary soul on here out of all you brave young men and keyboard warriors have ever been willing to take a permaban bet with yours truly regarding Inoue smoking any of the elite from 147-168, if those cowards up there can ever summon the courage to take the Monster challenge that is :deal:

    I respect Inoue's skills, but as I said before the fight Fulton is a C+ fighter. Hes easy to hit and he cant punch. So...... what does the man have to offer a good to great fighter? He eats leather and he cant dish anything back. So where is the threat here?

    Errol Spence had only fought once in nearly three years, that's a huge chunk of his prime.. this should factor in when assessing this win.. & many ppl are brushing over it.. Spence just isn't what some made him out to be.. This fight alone proves it... there are many Fighters that did better than Spence did against Crawford. Spence at his best was Shawn Porter level. Watch that fight.. he barely edged it. So what is he now? Don't cite Ugas.. hes nothing special.

    Inoue would probably rank #1 if he had chosen to clean out the 2nd toughest in boxing. But he skipped Estrada, Gonzalez, Ioka and Sor Rungvisai. Usyk cleaned out the hardest division in boxing. So he is p4p.

    I judge based on resume. Which is why I have Usyk 1. I give less weight to H2H than most do.

    The Briedis and Chisora fight could have been draws. Usyk isn't dominating. People want to talk about Spence being shot, which he is, but AJ has not been the same dude since Wlad. What's so good about Usyk's resume to make him the clear #1 to you?

    Briedis is the best man on either Inoue, Crawford or Usyk's resume. And Gassiev has an argument for 2nd best. The pure and simple resume test goes to Usyk.

    Usyk would KO Crawford and Inoue on the same night, one after another.
    End of story.
    When you have arguments about P4P and one guy is fighting in a much higher weight class, that should decide it. In this case, Usyk is the HW, which makes it even more drastic.

    Why? Who has Briedis beat? Didn’t he just lose to a bum?
