You are not p4p #1 if you get dropped and almost stopped by an Uber driver

    I didn't say he didn't fight with courage, moxie, and strength. He did.

    I'm saying that a supposed p4p#1 getting dropped and dragged into a war by such an unheralded opponent requires a reconsideration of their status as the best boxer on the planet.

    I find this logic really daft

    Boxers get punched, good fighters take punishment

    It's the equivalent of saying the World Cup winners are not the best team in the world because they conceded a goal against San Marino in the first round

    The higher the status, the higher the expectation.

    If people want to say you're the best boxer alive, you should look like it. I didn't see it. That doesn't mean Inoue isn't great or that Cardenas isn't game.

    He wasn't knocked down. It's actually a blown call because a knockdown is supposed to be caused by an opponent's punch.

    Cool. Regardless that was officially ruled a knockdown blown call or not. Much like how it was questionable to not call that a knockdown against Zab Judah. It is what it is.

    If you have to post a video of a guy breaking his hand as a correlate to a guy getting dropped hard by an Uber driver, I think we’re done here.

    And I don’t remember Crawford going down either.

    You said that you don't remember Floyd getting dropped and I posted a video showing that he officially did. It's not that big of a deal.
