not just of today but in history?
Many mock Broner for being grossly overrated at the time and a hypejob. GGG may of been a bit overrated but both accomplished more than Inoue.
Both have wayyy better resumes. A weight drained Jamie McDonnell is enough to get people on these stupid, mythical P4P lists.
Jamie McDonnell on his best day isn't even as good as like Daniel Geale, not even a top 5 win for GGG nevermind that shell that could barely walk unaided.
Inoue hasn't fought anyone remotely decent. Have you seen his resume and who he beat for those straps? He did that by avoiding every single fighter worth a damn. Didn't fight one. And don't tell us guys like Chocalatito, Cuadras, Estrada were shook
In this era especially these straps mean little its who you beat.
Go look at his resume and don't even pretend you don't know who 90% are.
This guy isn't P4P anything no matter what criteria you want to apply to suit your agenda.
Even now he's signed to that tournament its a step towards proving himself but lets not pretend they're anymore proven than he is.
I'm not saying he won't deserve credit and he does for even entering but lets not go overboard in truth we don't really know how good they are either until they fight each other.
As of right now Inoue is disgustingly overrated. You claim he's P4P I say you're one step away from these MMA goons that think some 130lb soaking wet actor beats Mike Tyson in a St fight.
I'm not gonna pretend to be a huge fan of these smaller dudes but this kid can crack and box really well also. I'd love to see him win this tournament and maybe go give 122 against SSR.. imagine the bombs landed in that fight..
He would ***** slap Gervonta Davis
Inoue is special and if you cannot see his true potential then Dan your watching the wrong sport.
He is accurate, picks his shots to perfection and is a clinical one punch knockout artist.
Reminds me of Marco Antonio Barrera the way he cuts his opponent down although inoue has bigger one KO power.
I think he will be great
He's going to be a big favorite over Rodriguez and Tete too. Just so you know.
And those guys will immediately become talentless bums on here, I’m sure of it.
Inoue was 1/33 favourite last night , why would that performance have changed anyone's opinion. We all know he's got the power to take out limited opposition

Sor will need to move up soon. he showed it yesterday IMO. I think Inoue vs SSR could take place at 118 after the tournament unless they're having difficulty making weight. But Inoue looks pretty small against his competition...so who knows

ohhhh, you're just a certified hater of anything under 135 then. Gotcha.
Bantamweight was supposed to be a bigger challenge. He's now had what? 3 minutes over two fights? against both top 10 guys?
Payano wasn't struggling to make weight. Payano was ranked #5 in the world.
With Inoue frankly all I see is a weight bully that hits like a mule with his left hand.
A "weight bully" who is already a two-weight world champion and fighting in (effectively) his fourth weight class after only 16 fights? He is the exact opposite of a weight bully. If he was a weight bully he'd still be draining himself down to 108 and would probably hold all the titles there by now. If anything, he's moved up in weight too quickly and that, if anything, could be his undoing in this tournament.
The term "weight bully" itself is stupid anyway. If you're willing to make sacrifices (dietary or otherwise) which other fighters in your weight class aren't, then more power to you. If your opponent is smaller, there's nothing stopping him (except maybe his own self-discipline) from moving into a lower weight class.
GGG gets no credit for beating Brook but this guy does for beating fighters that aren't fit to carry Brooks gymbag.
He's just a weight bully fighting guys naturally two divisions smaller.
Mikey Garcia did it, Broner did it and accomplished way more against much better fighters yet they don't get praised like this guy.
If he losses this tournament the excuses will be he climbed up too fast, they'll pretend he's small. Reality will be he's fighting guys closer to his own size that aren't total cans and wasn't half the fighter he was hyped to be.
Beat Taguchi what next Broner beat former WBO champ Gavin Rees who was the size of his leg?
Again nothing impressive about beating an extremely weak world champion you're naturally twice as big as.
Somebody who calls Inoue overrated and yet has Golovkin anywhere near a P4P list knows nothing about boxing.
P4P is meaningless its just something I occasionally play along with. If I had a P4P list GGG wouldn't be top 10 but the point you seem to be missing is he ranks a lot higher in any sense than Inoue.
Jamie was fighting at that weight for over ten years, but only now is he “massively weight drained”
People grow they fill out as they get older. The weight becomes more difficult.
