Comments Thread For: Arum On Inoue vs. Fulton: "It's Cruel And Unusual Punishment To Ask Anybody To Fight Inoue"

[Liondw]

It's more cruel and inhumane punishment for Butler to fight Inoue. That would be a massacre.

arums not letting that fight happen. Definitely could be a upset

[PoserExposer]

Inoue is head and shoulders above everyone in his division. There isn’t a plausible fight where he ends up on the receiving end of a loss.

Fulton is no Donaire, The monster chews and spits out fulton

Fulton is with PBC. No elite level talent outside of them is allowed.

it'll happen but i reckon MJ might get a bite at Inoue first - more money for him and then the winner fights Fulton

will .... not would - it's a signed fight.

There's a special clause in the fight contract - the promoter pays for air ambulance from Japan to UK

Inoue seems to have hit a new peak with the Donaire rematch. Now’s the time to put him in with all the other monsters so we can get the best fights. The conditioning Inoue has reached is not sustainable for long.

Interesting comment - thanks - can you elaborate. I would have thought that conditioning goes in peaks and troughs - peaking out at the end of a training camp. I do think he is in his absolute prime right now , past 30 and his physical prime will decline

He’s reached a rhythm of training and recovery where he’s more beastly than he’s ever been. Eventually, life i.e injury, loss of passion, inactivity, and plain aging will break that rhythm. So he needs to be thrown to the wolves without second thought before this fades.

Rematching his toughest opponent who broke his face is likely what drove Inoue to new heights of motivation. But he needs constant challenges from here to sustain. Wouldn’t be surprising if he’s a little less vs Butler than he was for Nonito, but he’s still got plenty of the momentum for the time being.

I have to agree with 90 year old Bob at this point, Inoue is a nightmare for anyone from 118-126 maybe! I like his balance, combinations, poise and of course that incredible power. Fulton may want the payday but trust me, he doesn’t want that smoke.
