Inoue is my favorite active boxer but I still have him ranked behind Canelo on my P4P list.Comment

The real question should be who’s really #2 Inoue, Teo, Spence Or Bud because #1 is a lock already with canelo.Comment

I am a fan of Mike Tyson on the whole, I even seek out some of his interviews today, and watch some of his old fights sometimes as I do for tons of fighters, but he was what he was, and that was a top B level fighter, that was extremely well-matched in a time late-eighties when the HW was not great or full of any depth, and limited big men. Yet a lot of people say that this "mythical" "prime" Mike Tyson is the greatest HW of all time, and even the greatest P4P boxer of all time, when in reality he was top 4 at best, maybe even as low as top 7 of his era at HW.
What Mike had was the aura, that side when he was unbeaten, and nobody thought he could be beaten, was awesome, and that, coupled with his very exciting and destructive style of fighting made people love him, but facts are facts, and the fact is, he did not come close to being what so many thought he was going to become, and Mike meant so much to so many people, and they still can't accept this, and every loss he had, there is an excuse for, and they don't look at the reality of Mike Tyson's flaws.
Look at Tyson Fury, when the going gets tough, he's a dog that does everything he can to turn the tide, with Mike, as I say, when the going gets tough, Mike gets going, and there are so many examples of this in Tyson's career. Then take the Douglas fight, Douglas didn't just somehow win by a one-punch KO out of the blue, which can happen at HW, he completely outboxed Tyson, beat him up, broke his heart, and knocked him out, and with the exception of Mike getting through once with the knockdown, he completely nullified Tyson's offensive weaponry with a good jab and movement, and it's not like Douglas was a great HW, he was just a good one.
The problems I have with Inoue are, often a lot of the champions in the really low divisions are quite average, so it's easy to rack up title defences, because of this, I feel he didn't have the proper fight experience to deal more easily with a faded, still good, but faded, Nonito Donaire, that fight was right in the balance until the late knockdown. And people putting him top 10, I'm okay with, in reality, I have him like top 20, but so many have him 1,2, or 3, and I just can't see that, even with the eye test, especially not after the Donaire fight. Yes, Donaire got a good win recently, but it was years ago that Carl Frampton schooled him. Inoue was expected to as well, but he didn't, even years later, and that has to be taken into account at this moment in time.
Inoue passes the eye test, his power is phenomenal, but he has a way to go till he's up there with the very best, who have elite wins. I'm sure he learned more from the Donaire fight than he has in the rest of his fights combined, so how he goes from here depends on what he does with that knowledge and the experience of that tough battle.
Totally agree on Canelo, fantastic fighter, and I don't know why people discredit him for the Golovkin fights, Golovkin at that time was elite as well, just like Canelo, and when two elites fight, it is going to be close, and the Mayweather loss, it was wide, but Canelo is a much better fighter now than he was then, and fights at a much higher weight division, which h suits as he is very thick set, but Mayweather was great that night as well, and sure the Lara fight was close, but every boxer in history has close wins on their record, i had Canelo winning it 115-113, I never got the Trout debate, the scores were too wide, but Canelo won clearly.Comment

Inoue became a three division champion by beating five world title holders, not by beating bums.
Donaire is better than GGG. Donaire has lost one fight at bantamweight in 20 years. He also moved up in weight and challenged himself against bigger fighters.
GGG was gifted all of his titles, never moved up, has a a fake middleweight championship defense record and never fought anyone.
Duh.

Good post. Inoue has traveled 10lbs with 3 div. titles. A bit behind Asian counterparts in Pac considering Manny came from mosquito weight divisions. Canelo has had the bigger gap from 147-154-160-168-175. That's a more dangerous pool or variety than the lower weights whose increments can vary 3lbsComment

Who are these killers Inoue beat? A bunch of nobodies. You're just trying to build them up because you have an agenda you clown.
GGG never got embarrassed like Donaire did vs Rigo. GGG never got his face planted to the mat like Donaire did vs Walters. GGG never lost to a bunch of B-C level fighters like Rosendo Sanchez and Walters and Frampton. 6 Losses. Count them 6.Comment
