Comments Thread For: Naoya Inoue: "I've Never Fought An Opponent Like Fulton But Fulton Can Say The Same For Me"

Figueroa absolutely does not hit harder than Inoue at 122. LOL.

Inoue's KOs generally come from his timing and punch placement.

And the legs. Watch how his legs and body are filling out. Wouldn't be surprised if he's more powerful at 122.

Lol that's all speculation considering Inoue hasn't even touched 122 yet, Figueroa didn't knock out 108 lbers like Inoue did he knocked out 122-126 lbers some who had never been stopped and were champions/title challengers. Figueroa will end up at 135/140 I don't see Inoue ever going past 126 if he does it won't end well for him he's not Manny. It's not hard to admit that physically Figueroa is stronger and a bigger puncher, doesn't mean Inoue doesn't hit hard or couldn't hurt 122 lbers but he's not a knock out cold artist the only person he stretched out like that was Payano who is a small 118 lber himself. I'm not saying Figueroa is a better fighter than Inoue either, obviously Inoue is more talented and places his punches better which is why he get's cleaner KO's, he could also KO Fulton something Figueroa didn't do but that would be placement more than anything and if he does do it then to me he will be top 3 P4P for sure.

Old Donaire is still above current Fulton. You will notice overtime that his win against Donaire will be more remembered than his win over Fulton

Probably one of the dumbest responses I've seen on this forum this month. Donaire struggled with Cesar Juarez for ****s sake.

You could just read your own responses to see this isn't even close

im sorry man but fulton schools donaire all day everyday, even prime for prime.....fulton vs inoue is a 50/50 fight imo , not on paper maybe...

Fulton got hit a lot against Figueroa. You think he would avoid Donaire's left hook for even six rounds?

And yet that was eight years ago, and followed by a career resurgence that made him the first ever 3 time bantamweight world champion, the oldest bantamweight world champion twice over, and one of only six guys to win a world title in 3 consecutive decades. He's a guaranteed first ballot HOF, who's been in with some of the best fighters across 5 weight divisions.

You couldn't even provide a credible comparison just talked about a fight of the year candidate that wasn't even relevant to what I said.

Didn't Mike Alvarado and Brandon Rios have a fight of the year? Do you consider them ATG's? Did that performance make them a stand out fighter?

Doesn't matter can you name someone that Donaire beat at 118 that was a great? That's like claiming Jamel Herring had a resurgence when he went down after getting beat up at 135 to win a belt and then beat an overweight Frampton at 130.

Nonito didn't look great from 122-126 that's just facts he has the skill to win fights but he wasn't a monster in those divisions and when he fought Inoue he was old already and still gave him a run for his money. I'm not discrediting Nonito either he has a hell of a resume and fought everyone definitely a future HOF and deserves all the credit, but that wasn't a fight I'd gauge Inoue as far as his legacy, if he beats someone like Fulton in impressive fashion then that would be a statement and I still stand by that.

donaire got outbox by magdaleno, and frampton, you think fulton is not superior boxer than both?.... see how that works?....reason why triangle theory does not work and why styles make fights is true!

[Shadoww702]

What does that have to do with anything I stated? Are you saying that Donaire was in his prime?

I'm saying YDKSAB if you flat out ignore it. I bet a lot and post my slips. Where is yours at? Huge $$$$$ if you think Fultan got this so easy...

[Shadoww702]

Donaire hit harder from 112-118 at 122 and 126 his power was normal. Figueroa hits harder than Inoue he's a bigger guy naturally, Inoue is just more explosive and precise with his punches which leads to more eye catching knockouts but as he has gone up in weight he is going rounds and not blasting people out on the regular he breaks them down with accuracy.

Stand out fight meaning against undefeated unified champion in their prime, not a past prime Nonito who moved down divisions after already reaching his prime I hold that win no higher than Omar Narvaez. Aside from Donaire his best win is Emmanuel Rodriguez.

Then bet your house on it and STFU. If you win then you can buy 3 more...And if you lose???? I don't remember ever seeing you post your bets like I do?

Also I thought Fig won. Won't be no gifts 2nite

Nope I do not. Frampton IMO was better. Styles do make fights.. Gonna look funny seeing the bigger man back up WAY more for the judges.... How much u want to bet????

Styles do. A tiny dude chasing a much bigger dude around?

My pick Inoue 12 round UD. It's in Japan so thay should save Fultan from boo's....
