[Smash]

so fulton came to japan for the fight giving out about hand wrapping that was legal in japan and some states, made a fuss, gets KO'ed by the smaller guy, loses his belts & on top of that the jap decides to wrap his hands as per the demands of the fulton camp?? if thats it then surely a tennis analogy is correct, thats game set and match thankyou, enjoy your stay please come again

Where’s Lance98 at? He said Inoue was an over-hyped midget. Go get your shine box Lance. You need to realize your shortcomings before you can do anything to fix them.

Shine box! "Good Fellas" lives!

Something tells me Fulton's trainer knew his charge was in for a tough night, so he tried to soften the blow as much as possible.

Man that was crazy impressive. The finish was perfect too .

Glad the ref let Fulton get buckled again to remove any bs about bad stoppage ect like we are used to in the uk

great fight

Yeah, you don't take away the belts from a man without letting him fight for it

Inoue will knockout Tapales quicker than he did to Fulton

Ignorant people bro. I’ll never understand the need to root one way or another because of skin, religion, or whatever. These men are all warriors and deserve equal levels of respect. Men that dedicate themselves to the pursuit of excellence while mouth breathers with no life bash them.

I do get where people pull for someone from their small island or a large city with people that they identify with, be it a nation, a neighborhood, or continent, a poor or rich area and pull for a fighter in their likeness in some way that they identify with at least as far as pride is involved - but where it becomes a huge issue is where it goes past all that and a line is crossed and pride turns into dislike or hate for fighters that don't fit their likeness and then once that is vocalized such as in this forum, things just blow up. And if one person starts something, insults start flying from all directions and it goes downhill from there. And yes I have seen people with evil wishes towards fighters just because of their color/origin. It doesn't get lower than wishing a fighter gets badly hurt and permanently damaged.

It’s beyond ****** at this point man. Fulton seems like a nice guy. Why the hate? Because his trainer was acting ******? That doesn’t warrant fans wanting Fulton to get killed in the ring or suffer permanent damage. We have a lot of members here who need some really deep therapy. Like full cleansing of their dirty minds.

You're absolutely right and P4P is a load of bollocks.

That said, people still compile P4P lists ... and if they're going to do that, Inoue has to be #1.

I like following the P4P comparisons. I don’t think they’re a load of bollocks. Instead of trying to compare boxers of different generations, it looks at their record and how they’ve handled themselves in the various weight classes they have participated in. And who they fought and how well they fought. Imperfect? Yes. Still fun. IMHO. I think the P4P debates are a more current phenomenon as opposed to trying to compare all the boxers in history. Even then, I enjoy that. I’ve been watching some old footage of Joe Louis remastered. What a treat. Incredible combinations with both hands being sledgehammers.
