Congratulations to Inoue for proving he's the greatest Asian boxer of all time. Sorry Pacquiao, your time’s up and your legacy just got overshadowed | BoxingScene Community
Like I said before, Inoue already left Pacquiao in the dust as the greatest Asian boxer of all time. Just imagine Pacquiao taking a clean shot from Ramon Cardenas, he’d be face down on the canvas again, just like when Marquez turned off his lights. That chin wouldn’t stand a chance.
Not a ginger fan but bud beating him is a huge win and cements him in the history books.
I disagree Canelo isn't in his prime anymore. Nothing but a money grab imo
So let’s get this straight — you're calling Crawford's welterweight résumé "weak"? He didn’t just beat everyone at 147, he embarrassed them. He stopped every single opponent in that division. Not edged them. Not squeaked by. Stopped. Them. All.
He was the first and only guy to stop Shawn Porter, a dog in the ring who gave Spence and Thurman life-or-death wars. Crawford made him look like a sparring partner.
Then there's Kell Brook, former champ, who got folded in four rounds. That’s faster than Spence, by the way, so if Spence’s win was celebrated, what do you call Crawford’s? A public execution?
Jeff Horn? Yeah, the guy who "beat" Pacquiao. Crawford crossed the ocean and bullied him in his backyard like he owed him lunch money.
So no, his resume isn’t "weak." It's just so dominant, you clowns can’t tell if his opponents were bad or if Crawford’s just levels above.
There's a reason pbc blackballed him for years!
Crawford's ww resume is weak at best
Spence is the only guy but you can argue he was not right after the car accident and he fought that way; could barely keep his balance
Sorry but Madrimov at 154 a 16 fight unknown was not a "clinic" we'll put that in the category of barely squeaked by
Canelo is shopworn and beating him at this stage is a decent win at best

Lol. You acting like he ran thru a murderers row of ww's
Good job lining up everybody's leftovers

Lmao, "not close to Pacquiao"? Bro, Pacquiao built his resume fighting washed names with asterisk wins padded by catchweights and politics. Legends? More like legends on retirement tours. Meanwhile, Inoue is out here dominating prime, undefeated champs across divisions with surgical precision not scraping by with split decisions or headbutting brawls. The only thing Pac had over Inoue was hype and a machine pushing his narrative. If Inoue’s two KDs don’t matter to you, then Pac getting bullied by Jeff Horn and KO’d cold by Marquez should matter even less. Inoue doesn’t need to "sniff" the conversation he already passed the smell test. Your nostalgia goggles just smell like denial.
Eh?
Pac 27 - Morales 29
Pac 25 - JMM 30
Pac 28 - Barrera 33
Pac 29 - ODH 35
Pac 30 - Hatton 30
Pac 30 - Cotto 29
What retirement tours, besides Oscar, who the year before that had a close fight vs. Floyd?
Inoue is great, and him moving up to Jr FW is a huge accomplishment.. but Pac had literally same measurements (5'5, 67" reach), started at the same weight as Inoue, and he fought majority of his fights at LW through WW.
I have a feeling this thread has more to do with Pac hate than Inoue love.
Terence won’t ever be Mayweather dominant? Bro, you sound like you just woke up from a 2015 coma. Crawford murdered the supposed boogeyman of the division in Errol Spence and made it look like light sparring, that’s dominance you can’t fake. Meanwhile, you're clinging to pound-for-pound rankings like they’re gospel when half of them are media politics and fanboy bias. Usyk’s great, sure, but Crawford's putting on clinics so clean they belong in textbooks. Mayweather fought safe; Crawford finishes. If you can’t see that, maybe combat sports ain’t for you, stick to TikTok dance rankings.

crawford at 37, best win is a disable car accident drunk spence!! that's his best win!! LOL.
8-division champ YEaaaaa built on catchweights, drained opponents, and backroom deals. That stat looks shiny until you realize how manufactured it was. Pacquiao's legacy is more smoke and mirrors than substance at this point. You can slap a gold sticker on a clown and call him a king, but real ones know the game. Inoue didn’t need shortcuts or special treatment, he’s wrecking prime champions, not coasting on nostalgia and politics. Pac’s time isn’t just up his legacy’s starting to crack. Keep screaming “8 divisions” like it’s a magic spell. Meanwhile, Inoue's stacking real scalps with no asterisks.
blah blah.. so why hasnt any other fighters done it? at the end of the day. pacman is an 8 division world champ, like it or not... cope with it.
how is Terence dominating p4p when he’s at third and Usyk is 1
Terence won’t ever be Mayweather dominant

pacquiao's time has been up for 4-5 years already... legacy overshadow? no way Jose! you can never overshadow "8 division world champ". props to Inoue tho.

Inoue is the best now. Let's see what he does at 122 and maybe 126 too. Then we can reassess
Let’s see what he does”? Bro, open your eyes Inoue owns 122 already. Fulton was supposed to be the boogeyman and got folded like laundry. The only thing left to “reassess” is your weak grasp of what greatness looks like. Stop acting like Inoue still has something to prove just because he’s not doing it the old-school, hype-driven, padded-record route. He’s doing it better, faster, and without needing catchweights, gift decisions, or cherry-picked opponents. At this point, waiting to "see what he does" just makes you sound like you're stalling because your favorites are getting eclipsed.
Huge Inoue fan. Dude's legit, the 2 KDs dont take anything away in my eyes.
But he's not close to Pac right now. Pacquaio moved higher and has legends on his resume. Inoue needs to clean FW and add 3 more solid scalps to even sniff the conversation.

I gotta disagree with that.
Manny & Inoue both started at 108lbs & Monster is already at the edges of his limits at 122lbs.
If he goes up to 126 & faces the best competition, it's likely he will lose.
Manny Pacquaio went past 122, past 126, past 130, past 135, past 140, & past 147, all the way to 154.
He's won the welterweight title more than any man in history.
Think about that.
A guy who started his career at 108lbs has won the belt at 147 more than anybody in history.
The last time against a guy who was undefeated, on P4P lists, & was a decade younger.
It's Pacquaio, who's a consensus top 10-15 fighter ever.
Inoue is not that, yet.
Inoue already blew past Pacquiao, and it's hilarious watching you still in denial. Pacquiao's whole career was built lies and a PR machine. Catchweights, cherry-picked opponents, and spoon-fed matchups. That's his real legacy. You think that makes him an all-time great? Please. He got bullied by Jeff Horn, a guy Crawford dismantled like a sparring dummy. Let that sink in. Most of Pacquiao’s welterweight titles were handed to him thanks to backdoor deals and connections, while real fighters had to climb the ranks the hard way. He didn’t walk the tough path, he was escorted to the spotlight.

Striker? Please Inoue is not an MMA fighter. He’s a boxer, and the best Asian fighter ever, let’s not get carried away. Calling it is golden era for asian is laughable when Terrence Crawford is still dominating the pound-for-pound rankings. Deep down, Inoue wishes he could share the ring with Crawford, but he knows he’s way too small and would probably be sleeping on the canvas before the first round even ends.how is Terence dominating p4p when he’s at third and Usyk is 1
Terence won’t ever be Mayweather dominant
