We are all humans. Let's judge by the content of our character, not the color of our skin.

I give Fulton credit for taking the challenge. Inoue is a generational type talent. I don't see anyone beating him.

I think he would have to go to 135 before he finds a fight where he would be the underdog. Robiesy ramirez will be a challenge but i'd pick inoue. navarratte maybe could be tough at 130?

i guess there are levels to this game as someone once said & fulton is just several levels below where he thought he was LMAO, he can go back to getting judges calls on his collection of undefeated fighters hes facing

And here we go ... Inoue wanting the undisputed at 122 before going up to storm the 125 and 130 (far stretch I know) ... He could be 6 Div. champ by the end of next year !

Manny started at 106, I would never put a weight limit on Inoue given his power and elite skill level.

It's a shame that Shakur Stevenson isn't a 126 guy still, or even 130. He's the only guy anywhere around Inoue who I think probably beats him

No mental weakness here. I'm just out here noticing patterns. Patterns like one race being the most hated race for their actions, which was the thing MLK said he wanted you guys to be judged on.

It can't be a coincidence that no race wants to live around or be around one particular race or that own race doesn't want to live amongst it's own kind. They are on the first boat or plane out of their homelands to live amongst the savages as you put it.

A_State really hit the nail on the head with the mental weakness comment.

We are human and that quote was in the famous "I have a Dream" speech sadly that quote is just that a dream. Poster just said the the world hates black people and we should figure out why. What part about that is judging content of character?

MLK also said "A riot is the language of the unheard"

Lastly from Dr King. "Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will"

So if either Spence or Crawford dominate and get a spectacular knockout…that’s not more impressive than knocking out Fulton? Let’s wait and see how that matchup goes at least.

For me it wouldn't be enough considering Inoue's body of work and domination over his opponents. The eye test is in his favor as well.

Again the first step to recognize a mental weakness or disease is understanding you have one. People normally don't like live around poverty. I live in a city that's predominantly Mexican and Mexicans with money don't visit the same areas where the poor Mexicans live. That's a class thing not race.

Here is MLK quote for you

When you are right you cannot be too radical, when you are wrong, you cannot be too conservative



I'm done arguing though. Inoue showed me something great. I thought Donaire was too old but he's just great. I don't think anyone at 122-126 beats him. I wish Shakur squeeze down to 130 and make that fight that's wishful thinking.

[TheOneAboveAll]

That was rad! He IS pound for pound champ - I cannot see it any other way

Yeah, Spence-Crawford might just be for the #2 spot.

Dude you tripping.

Boxing is in a sorry state when two great boxer's take a risk but all the fans can do is bring racial politics into the conversation. Every step boxing takes forward, it takes two steps back, because people want to live vicariously through others or they believe boxing represents some sort of superiority. These ideals belong in the era of the colour line not modern boxing.

It’s not boxing itself it’s that certain bottom of the barrel elements latch on to it and make it into that. The reason you’re seeing in this thread is due to people who hve embraced white supremacist ideology and are celebrating the defeat of a black fighter. The rhetoric we are being used are classic dog whistle statements by populists, nationalists, and outright neo-**** organisations. Why it’s being allowed on this forum is disgraceful in itself.
