Comments Thread For: Crawford: I'm Leaning Towards Fulton [Over Inoue]; Not Only Bigger, Stronger, He Has Skills, Too

[Jdasilva2012]

Honestly, I don't know who to pick because whenever I try to breakdown the fight a different scenario pops into my head. I'm honestly just happy the fights been made because I'm so excited to witness it. Good luck to Inoue and Fulton.

Don't worry son. Every Fulton guy feels the same way you are feeling.

Fulton will do Philly proud and treat Inuoe like Hopkins treated Trinidad. Another undefeated boxer puncher moving up in weight.

It's nice to support his countryman but he sounds like a casual by saying that. He could had say only " I'm Leaning Towards Fulton"

Actually, I think he sounds like a professional, carefully weighing all criteria, and giving a slight edge to Fulton. Casuals blindly support their fighters and unconditionally support their fighter.

You must mean because Fulton is more skillled, slick, and diverse in his punch placement and defense. Or maybe because Fulton has actually fought a bigger array of styles and came out victorious. I refuse to believe that you would overlook these things to go to the shallow minded thought process that runs rampant on this site that any fool could pull out when they would like to be accepted by the ignorance club.

Inoue has the better jab, and is not _less_ "diverse in his punch placement." And Fulton's defense is overrated. He gets hit when he would strongly prefer not to; 99% of the time, Inoue gets hit when he has zero concern about his opponent's power, and elects to get hit in order to deliver one.

That said, Fulton is significantly bigger, and will present problems inside more than outside, with a lot of clinching and wrestling and mugging. Inoue is going to have to figure that out, as it's going to be new for him.

I wonder how many Inoue fights Crawford has watched. I wouldn't be shocked if that number is zero.

While I agree that sometimes Fulton can be pulled into a dogfight trying to prove that he's not afraid to exchange, I do believe that he has the better defense, more accurate jab with a 3 inch arm reach advantage, and more variety of offense. Its going to be a tough fight, but I am sticking with my pick of Fulton.
