The guy reigned in a weak division. He almost got stopped by average figueroa and arguably lost that fight. Inoue still has failed to beat an elite level caliber opponent. He's a great fighter and top 5 p4p but I'd like to see him beat someone that's on his level.
Fulton was nowhere near elite not even close

Might not meet that guy until 130, Inoue is improving he could possibly make it to 135 in two years if that was his goal, Inoue is blowing guys out in a very classy way. its just bad luck there is no real star in the light weights that can match him.Comment

I love inoue. I said he's top 5 p4p. But let's be real. Fulton is nowhere close to an elite level fighter after getting his ass whooped by figueora. I don't know why everyone hyped him so much. I still say his best win is old washed up donaire. I'm not convinced feather fisted fulton beats donaireComment

Not loving the take that Fulton just ******. He wasn't able to show his skills against Inoue, and you are trying to say that's because he was never good, rather than giving credit to Inoue for shutting down his game?
To be fair, I didn't give Teo credit for doing just that against Loma, but he then did it again to Taylor, and left me eating crow.
The clue here is that everyone ends up fighting Inoue's fight, not their own. The fighter that controls the look of the fight is the superior fighter, and when everyone ends up being prey for the Monster, no matter what style they use, it's because of HIM, not them.Comment

I never said he ******. He was no where elite. He got a gift decision against brandon figueroa. Is brandon elite? He almost stopped fulton.Not loving the take that Fulton just ******.
