Comments Thread For: Fulton: I Like To Challenge Myself, Why Not Fight Top Pound-For-Pound Person

[Clegg]

Fulton has arguably the best attitude in boxing. Earned a title shot by beating 2 undefeated guys, then won a belt vs an undefeated opponent, unified straight away vs another undefeated guy, then looked for undisputed vs MJ and when it wasn't available he defended against Roman, who a lot of people had beating MJ. No stay busy fights, just serious business every time.

Somebody play Nas, "Represent, Represent!" Go Cool Boy! "Show 'em what you got!"

If Fulton wins, he cannot be denied a high PFP ranking.

Of course you can. It's still his first division. Canelo only really started getting ranked high when he was moving up in division so did Crawford and Inoue. I'm sure there's outliers here and there but beating a p4p guy in his 4th division while you're still in your first.


Fulton not gonna get that recognition until he starts blasting opponents out or going up in weight and continue winning titles.

NOT TRUE! Otherwise Marvin Hagler would not have been one of the top fighters ever to lace on gloves, but in the sport in the 80's when he reigned at 160 his perfect weight class. And Pernell Whitaker didn't have to blast fighters out but was not only one of the 3 greatest lightweights ever, he also was a top PFP fighter in his era so it's OBVIOUS you are brand new to the sport - or you would know those things, son. I just blew both your arguments right out of the water.

Kudos to Fulton here. Going on the road for a mega fight title defense against the top p4p guy.

Other professionals need to follow this blueprint.

See the fool I responded to who said Fulton has to move up in weight or has to start blowing out fighters. Guess he never heard of greats like Hagler who reigned at 160 or Whitaker who didn't have to blow out fighters, both of whom were inarguably top 10 PFP in their day

[Roadblock]

This is a top tier fight that got done without all the drama and negotiating via the media. Is true that Fulton could had fought Figueroa or Alex but this fight is bigger.

Never been any different in those weights because the media don't hype them up like the higher weight classes.

Not true, otherwise Marvin Hagler would not have been one of the top fighters not only ever, but in the sport in the 80's since he reigned at 160 only. And Pernell Whitaker didn't blast fighters out but was not only one of the 3 greatest lightweights ever, he also was a top PFP fighter in his era so it's OBVIOUS you are brand new to the sport - or you would know those things, son.

You seem emotional. I said theres outliers but the majority of p4p fighters proves it fights after fighter. He's not gonna get the recognition if he beats Inoue is the same reason Bivol didn't get that recognition winning against Canelo.

You are full of sht. Bivol is already a top PFP fighter at #7 and #5 Ring Mag and ESPN and Fulton is just outside the top PFP and will most likely be ranked in the top PFP if he beats Inoue so your counter is useless. Sit your ass down, son.

7th? What is high to you? I have never seen a p4p list that passed 10th so if you have that list showing Fulton on the fringe of a credible list, I would like to see.

People like Spence have never cracked the top 3 and he's been making easy work everyone he stepped into the ring with.

You seem to need a beer man. You seem angry.
