Comments Thread For: Curmel Moton: Inoue Is A Solid Fighter; I'll Be A Lot Better Than Him When It's All Said And Done

[Boricua181]

Did Floyd let him speak without interrupting?

Floyd is definitely a pig when it comes to hogging up the microphone, what a narcissist (it's all about him).

Only time will tell for Curmel Moton...Big Drama Show

[Boricua181]

I'm all for youngsters being confident, but both the kid and Mayweather seems to be refusing to acknowledge some of the records Inoue has. All the big mouth will be for nothing if he doesn't get a belt on his 6th pro fight or earlier.

Some numbers that Moton has to try to obtain to be on par with Inoue:
6th match, first world title (Inoue won the Junior Fly WBC title at age 20 on his 6th pro-match).
8th match, second world title (won Super Fly WBO title on his first match at second division which he skipped a weight as well).
16th match, third world title (won Bantam WBA title on his first match at third division).
18th match, fourth world title (won unified Bantam WBA/IBF).
23rd match, fifth world title (won unified Bantam WBA/WBC/IBF).
24th match, sixth world title/undisputed (won undisputed Bantam weight).
25th match, seventh/eighth title (won unified Super Bantam WBC/WBO on his first match at fourth division).

Obviously his 4 belts won in 3 matches from 23 to 25 requires opponents to be lined up and the multi-division champ will also be hard given that he's starting at feather weight at age 17, but Mayweather better be willing to feed him to some world champ within the next three years at the least if they want to be better than Inoue.

By the way Inoue is on a 20 match streak of world titles which soon will be 21 matches with Tapales, and if he sticks to his plans the next two years is likely to be:
26th match, (likely soon to be) ninth/tenth world title/second undisputed (undisputed Super Bantam against Tapales).
27th-29th match, Nery/Casimero/MJ fights just to clear out Super Bantam.
30th match (around 2025), first match at Feather weight.

If Mayweather is actually willing to back up their big mouth, he should be planning to have Moton be a feather weight belt holder by 2026 so that they can fight Inoue. Doubt it happens though.

This kid just won his first fight, and already he's talking big time ****! I'm going to go out on a limb, and predict that some fighter in the near future is going to check his chin, and it's going to fail him. He won't even come close to matching Inoue's accomplishment's, the kid is just plain arrogant, and disrespectful.

Guy's got serious problems to be reacting that way. Journalist should have declined to answer his questions and continued speaking to the young fighter. Mayweather is a gaslighter.

I actually expect one of three patterns to happen in the next few years:
1) Mayweather feeds a bunch of crummy over-the-hill guys or relatively unknown young no names against Moton for the next few years to get his record up to like 8-0 with 7 KO at feather weight, talk about how all the big names ducking him and just go up to super feather because everyone is scared of him shortly after Inoue comes up to feather weight (but is still focused on getting the belt owners first and ignoring Moton). Will continue to taunt Inoue and any other guy to fight him, and still claim duck when Inoue continues to ignore him and stays at feather weight while fighting legit ranked feather weight opponents.
2) If Moton is truly legit, somehow Moton will manage to fight one of the weaker links of the belt holders at feather before Inoue to win a belt, then "outgrow" feather weight ASAP and go up to Super Feather and talk about how Inoue dodged him and waited until he left feather weight to become undisputed.
3) Moton is actually truly willing to fight Inoue for real and somehow Inoue gets interested enough to face him for leisure after he goes undisputed at feather, then gets destroyed by Inoue. Mayweather claims Moton was too drained to be feather, goes up to Super feather and demands a rematch with Inoue at super feather which Inoue isn't interested in, but claims ducking anyway.

I expect those in order of most likely to least likely.

Floyd's fighters will never reach Inoue's level, because he'll keep their development slow and make sure they can't match or surpass him because his ego couldn't stand it. Tank could have won several real titles by now, but he's content to make money fighting secondary guys instead of the best. Half of Inoue's fights will have been against world champs after his next one, and most of those were ranked in the top 5.

If Shakur compared this kid with any successful African-American fighter, he woulda taken the compliment and kept his mouth shut on whether he'd be better than said boxer.

[Knuckle sandwich]

He should go and spa the monster
