      It’s beyond ****** at this point man. Fulton seems like a nice guy. Why the hate? Because his trainer was acting ******? That doesn’t warrant fans wanting Fulton to get killed in the ring or suffer permanent damage. We have a lot of members here who need some really deep therapy. Like full cleansing of their dirty minds.

        That said, people still compile P4P lists ... and if they're going to do that, Inoue has to be #1.
        I like following the P4P comparisons. I don’t think they’re a load of bollocks. Instead of trying to compare boxers of different generations, it looks at their record and how they’ve handled themselves in the various weight classes they have participated in. And who they fought and how well they fought. Imperfect? Yes. Still fun. IMHO. I think the P4P debates are a more current phenomenon as opposed to trying to compare all the boxers in history. Even then, I enjoy that. I’ve been watching some old footage of Joe Louis remastered. What a treat. Incredible combinations with both hands being sledgehammers.

          It looks like Fulton's gloves hit the canvas after the right hand which means it was a knockdown and an eight count should have started at that point. Inoue hit him as soon as he got up ... just saying

            I remember Fulton’s comments shortly before the fight was made about how Inoue was nothing special if you took away the power, and thinking how incredibly moronic that sounded. The guy was completely delusional and way over his head through and through.

              Definitely saw that. If Fulton was smart he would have taken a knee, not get hit flush by the flying hook and given himself another chance. It’s not Inoue’s job to stop and point it out to the ref.

                Refs fault, if in fact the gloves did touch, but thats not Inoues job to check. His job is to fight. At no point did Monster look down from the replay, he did what he was supposed to do. Fulton couldve took a knee if he needed time. #ProtectYourselfAtAllTimes

                  Inoue is just a pleasure to watch, has that Pacquiao vibe but maybe even better. (Is it impossible?) This guy is an offensive "Monster", that jab was brilliant along with the power. Very impressed!

                    Fulton is lucky Inoue hit him again. Inoue was kicking his ass and Fulton had no chance of winning. Fulton is not a big puncher and Inoue was outboxing him and dominating him. Fulton had zero answers and Im sure he was fine with the stoppage, regardless of what he ends up saying publically. Fulton was getting embarrassed.

                    I did see a short clip of Fulton speaking to Fighthub after the loss, he said something about it being something wrong with him, which is why he lost, apparently not giving full credit to Inoue, something to that effect. Interested to hear if he says he was hurt, messed up from the time change, etc.

                      Great fight by Inoue
                      How far up can this dude go is the question? I think 130 would be the max, 135 just seems absurd. There can't be another Pac like rise through the weight classes can there?
                      I didn't know this guy was already 30 years old, that's too bad, we may only get like 7-8 more fights of his prime if he goes twice a year.
