Wow.

He did what Brandon Figueroa did ...


Inoue need to go to 126 if he want to be a global Star.

Fighting bums in 122 is not good for his legacy

Inoue IS a global star. The world does not revolve around the US.

Two, Inoue moved up to 122 just last year AND unified the division. Which kind of “bums” has he been fighting? Casual talk right here

I usually have a complex when it comes down to what goes on with him. Not because I don’t think he’s talented, it’s obvious that he is. I just don’t know to what degree. I don’t think he’s facing the best of the best of the best, not because he’s avoiding them, but usually better fighters come in higher weight classes. Really good performance this morning

At least you’re honest. Better fighters in BULK come in higher weight classes most certainly. But I will say that Estrada, Chocalitito, Bam, Runvigsai division was stacked.

Inoue will be in a stacked division once he jumps to 126.

WAO, NAOYA INOUE ELECTRIFIES FANS AGAIN!!! He couldn't have been more thrilling!! Naoya Inoue (27-0, 24 KO's), came back from shockingly hitting the canvas in round 1 to out-speed, out-box and overpower in six chapters dangerous Mexican knockout artist 2-division champ Luis "Pantera" Nery tonight, May 6, at the famous Tokyo Dome in Tokyo, Japan! THIS hugely entertain fans, it was AWESOME!

With his exciting TKO win, the 31-year-old "Monster" retains his UNDISPUTED Super Bantamweight Title, reaffirming himself as the # 1 P4P Boxer in the Planet!

That’s not what the P4P rankings say.. they all have Crawford #1

[diplo]

Better resume than Inoue for sure.

At the same weight, Inoue beats Bud all day long. And I love Bud.

[messi807]

lol, crawford is comfortable at a third place, right behind usyk.

The P4P rankings say otherwise.. but your opinion is fair lol.

[moochi]

P4P #1 by a country mile. Just coz he ain't American or Mexican, the fans refuse to acknowledge him.

That’s not what the P4P rankings say.. they all have Crawford #1

Well lets see when they update I guess.

At the same weight I’m not sure Inoue even beats a Tank. Broken orbital bone against an ancient Donaire.
Dropped against a 9/1 Nery.

Great fighter but not in the same helm as Bud. Who is probably closest to Floyd/Manny.

Inoue showed today why he is without debate THE PFP NO 1 fighter in the world today irrespective of weight class. He was over anxious and it showed in the 1st round and he was careless getting dropped by a left hook. But being the COMPLETE fighter he is, made the adjustments and thanks to him being the best 1 to 6 inch punching machine since The legendary Joe Louis, he proceeded to dismantle Nery in the most brutally yet surgically efficient fashion. Inoue put too much undoe pressure on himself leading up to this bout because a lot was being made about Nery and the possibility of him pulling off a Buster Douglas. This is why I hate when promoters build up an event to the point of absurdity and make lofty predictions, thus putting pressure on the favorite to perform at ultra super hero levels just to please the crowd. We saw it With Evander Holyfield against late replacement Bert Cooper who caught an over anxious Holyfield looking to impress his hometown Atlanta crowd. Holyfield almost saw a loss in the making if not for his friend and referee Mills Lane intervening and buying him time. In Inoue case however the Japanese marvel recouped quickly and made all the right adjustments and proceeded to never let Nery back into the bout in violently beautiful fashion. The monster has impeccable technique and that is a large part of his success. I hope from here on he doesn't get caught up in the hype of Arums bs blathering and just stay focused like he always does and take NO ONE For granted and continue to stamp his lege into the history books. As for Mexican fans I need to say this. Please stop this nationalist rhetoric. Its ANNOYING. Because Nery lost some of you are already trying to deflect and say that Inoue ducked Chocolito. The FACTS are that Inoue made the offer and Gonzalez did not take it. He then got his skin handed to him in a subsequent bout. So please stick with the facts and not your narratives motivated by this frigging annoying border line r@cist/ Nationalistic nonsense. And for Bud Crawford fans, it's ok to like your " guy" but this over the top adulation is pathetic and embarrassingly silly. Bud was DROPPED by Mean machine even if the incompetence of the referee didn't make it official. And yes Crawfords resume is not exactly littered with in prime Hall of Famers either. He is only now in this discussion because at 36 years of age he and Spence FINALLY decided to fight before both would need adult diapers and walking sticks. And no matter how you try to spin it , BUD FOUGHT A CLEARLY DIMINISHED Spence. Enroll was inactive for close to a year, obviously not the same fighter he was prior to the accident and was definitely deteriorating by the time he fought Ugas. Erroll was slow, very hittable and one dimensional against Ugas. His reflexes were clearly off, then after Ugas he was inactive and dealing with an eye injury. Bud has a more complete tool box than Spence yes but Spence made that fight a LOT EASIER for Crawford thanks to his obvious decline. Had Ugas jabbed and utilized feints and smart lateral pivots, he likely would have defeated Spence first. I would suggest people learn how to put these things in PERSPECTIVE rather than get caught up in this annoying fanboy emotional investment phenomenon that's going on these days. Inoue has been consistent from day one and unlike Crawford, has shown he can be in a legitimately tough fight ( The Filipino Flash) survive a broken eye socket and still fight on and Win. Crawford hasn't been in that situation yet. He's good, really good and I admire Crawford but he is still human and age can be a determining factor as well. How will Bud react when the opponent doesn't cooperate and puts it back on him twice as hard?? Right now I have Inoue at the number one position strictly because of what he's done at 4 weight classes and the fact that he proved he can overcome real adversity when it counts.
