Comments Thread For: Crawford Confident Spence Showdown Will End The Pound-For-Pound Debate

[OldTerry]

Terence Bud Crawford is already the pound for pound king of boxing FACTS ✅

Shouldn't that be labeled opinion instead of facts?

[Smash]

not so fast bud, beating a surgically repaired crash victim with vision & drink problems is not going to get u anywhere near the current no1p4p guy, devin haney

[Smash]

actually espn have u bud as No1 and errol as No3, so this is a top 3 p4p fight in their eyes

[crimsonfalcon07]

Winner should certainly be top 3. But Inoue may be unified again that same week. And where will you put Usyk if he does pull off beating Fury? We've got a chance for 3 double undisputed champions by years end. That's pretty impressive.

So bud is currently number 1, and then if he beats the number 3 spence... he becomes number 3?? lmaoooo u guys have funny logic.

I don't have a clear number 1 pound for pound fighter but u guys are always funny.

Crawford shouldn’t be on top 5 P4P list, just looking at his opponents list you can tell he hasn’t fought a top guy on his prime, the only one was porter and we all know porter was old and done already and on top of that he wrinkled at his dad to throw in the towel, so no he ain’t a P4P he gets hit a lot and was dropped by mean machine

Inoue has beaten 10 world champions.

How many other top boxers have done that?

Floyd beat 26 world champions and THEY talk mad smack about his resume....never gonna please everyone somebody always will hate

[Manic Shot]

What debate?!

And if you don'™t look on Boxrec the only one you can name is Donaire. Innoue is a hype job just like Loma and lil g.

For the general public, perhaps. People who follow the lower weights would know.

I haven't followed Inoue's career religiously, but could still recall the following off the top of my head:

Taguchi
Narvaez
McDonnell
Payano
Rodriguez
Moloney

The three I remember most were Narvaez, McDonnell, and Payano. Narvaez because that was a
changing of the guard fight, Narvaez having defended the flyweight world title 16 times and the super
fly 11 times. McDonnell too was memorable for the pre-fight antics -- deliberately showing up late to
the weigh in and other slights. Payano just for the contrast of the early feeling out and sudden,
one-punch KO.

Granted, Taguchi and Moloney only became champions after they fought Inoue.

When you beat one champ, you become the champ. How many have beaten ten?
Not many, I would guess.

Furthermore, for Inoue, it's also not just who he beat, but how he beat them: definitively, with zest, in style --
Narvaez, McDonnell, Payano, Rodriguez, all capable fighters, stopped within the first two rounds.

inoue beating a prime fulton is far more impressive than spence or crawford.

inoue has obliterated every opponent he's faced.
both spence and crawford fight once every 2 years, are past their primes, and share their claim to fame by beating shawn porter.

fact is most commoners don't even follow lighter weights, and base everything off of boxingrec.
it's not even worth debating.
