Inoue is the most complete boxer in the world and even more dangerous than Pacman. He not only wins but dominates making great fighters look average. He brings a lot of excitement to boxing because of his speed and power, every punch is loud and surgical. There's no wasted motion. One mistake his opponent make can end the match in seconds. Any honest boxing fan who is not clouded by biasness or racism would appreciate Inoue because there will never be another boxer like him.

I don't think it's racism more so that ol skool fight fans wanting to see him fight someone who is equally yoked. Fulton has no power. So Inoue didn't have to worry about heat coming back. Ol skool fans remember when fighters fought guys who had equal or more power and see how it plays out. Spence vs Crawford. Both guys were equally yoked. That's what makes Crawford's win so spectacular

Its obviously not just his physical talents but also his high IQ which allows him to fight smart and pick apart his opponents.

Keep in mind that he didn’t just go up a weight class and fight an unranked opponent. He went up a weight class and made the CHAMPION look like an amateur…

I remember when I first stumbled across a video of Inoue. I immediately thought that this guy has the skills to be a very special boxer. I also immediately told my boxing buddies about him and we all started following his career. Here we are today and it looks like the only way is up for him.

I think many people fail to mention about Naoya is the fact thst he keeps improving. The way he fights now is a lot different than his fights few years ago. Just looking back and compare his first fight vs donaire and his most recent Fulton fight. His defense is a lot more fruid, his head movement is so kuch better, he can set up "traps" better ( like he let Fulton come to him by backing up a bit, keep jabbing to the body to keep his mond occupied to the downstair while looking for a straight right to the head, etc), his placenrnt of punches are more accurate, etc. Pretty much in every fight, you can see his improvement compared to his previous fight. He even cane here in the states last year just to spar with many American fighters at Wildcard.. Its rare that an established fighter like hin still keep improving.

Naoya Inoue God gifted N01 fighter in the world super

P4P is not just about the wins stats. It should be how dominant are those wins. KO ratio should be the main criteria. Inoue has the highest KO percentage (90%), higher than Usyk and Crawford. This kind of KO ratio in the lower weights is unprecedented. He is a 4 weight divisions champion. He unified all 4 belts in the bantamweight by destroying all 4 champions to conquer those belts. Unlike Crawford, he only had to fight one guy to get 3 belts. Then he vacant all his belts and moved up division to take on the top dog who’s also a unified champion and Inoue took all of his belts without a sweat. Now, that’s impressive.

Apart from the skills and level of ability, that both Inoue and Crawford possess, that killer instinct is part of what separates them. If either man has you hurt, you're staying hurt...

this is gonna sound silly but i wish we could temporarily alter their genetics to make them the same size (scale Inoue's body up to the same height and weight as Crawford without altering his proportions).

Unbelievable insight and call by Teddy to comment that this is how a peak Pacman vs MayWeather bout might have looked like. I have always felt that was the case. That a prime Pac would have "swarmed" Mayweather with too many things to worry about and avoid.

He is going to obliterate Tapales... and move on up to Haney and Davis! He will reign supreme!

And he got big money about 0.5 billion USD ( Basic fight money 3,000,000 USD + fight postponement money 1,000,000 USD + PPV % money about 1,000,000 USD. Total 5,000,000 USD.) Enough for Fulton class ( His fight money average 400,000 USD ~ 600,000 USD ). The Monster Inoue K.O. Fulton at round 8 by one right straight. Fulton has NO COURAGE.

Crawford wouldnt even make it in my top 5 an anybody tgat cant see just how average his boxin game is, needs a refund on their seeing eye dog because Ray Charles can see that. Dont compare a person to someone they cant compete with . There is no competition.

Fulton only landed 4 effected shots the rest nothing monster threw alot that got deflected but fulton felt n tasted all of them, just cuz u block a hit dont mean u absorbed it all nope u take damage as well, how u think fulton lip statered bleeding in the 1st then his nose in the 2nd n spiting blood from 2nd on, he ate alot of his own hands for blocking

Big gap after these two, Fury has just been exposed as a bum. I think the heavyweight division is overrated, even Udsk is not dominating

Naoya inoue and Many pac absolutely the best number one pound for pound.He knocked Down more CHAMPION bigger,stronger than him in many different division and more than any pound for pound.He has too much power with his size,accuratecy and fast hand. Crawford is not the best pound for pound yet.Because he did not beat Jason ennis,Conor Benn and key therman call him out in the same division

Taking nothing away from Bud but the between the two fight is Spence was a damaged fighter coming of a huge car crash and then damage to his eye who had only a couple of fights I'm years.

Inoue is as mean as Crawford. Both men are borderline evil. Heaven help you if you make Inoue mad……….. I’d like for Inoue to come to the States or anywhere other than Japan.
