Will Naoya now be #1 lb for lb?

[bigtyivier2k2]

His resume is better then Crawford and skills just as good. Wonder his ceiling tho. How old is he?

I think they just keep swapping #1 with each other every time they fight until Crawford retires or one of them lose which I don't see happening any time soon. Crawford is way less active at this point though so Inoue is gonna take that spot and run away with it. Crawford could be fighting Canelo though in May, we'll see.

Crawford is lineal in 3 divisions and undisputed in 2.
Inoue is lineal in 2 divisions and undisputed in 2.

Inoue has more top quality wins but Crawford has conquered three divisions. Forget the alphabets, Crawford was lineal/TBRB/Ring Magazine Champion at 135, 140, and 147. That's what pound for pound is all about. Inoue needs to become lineal at 126 to equal Crawford's feat.

Inoue hasn't beaten any elites to be considered a pound for pound guy. He is a bum beater.

Still mad he whooped that boy foolton?

I like Inoue but he is another little midget fighter moving up 4 lbs at a time people are trying to say is best fighter in boxing. Didn't we already try to pull the scam on boxing fans with the liltle Chocolate dude from Nicaragua?

Using Fury pejoratives is edgelord behaviour.

Fulton wasn't my fave, he was mid at best. Fan of crawford and bivol. Try harder again.

Here we go with another couch potato keyboard hater nobody.


Crawford said Inoue is his #2 P4P fighter.

Canelo also said Inoue is his top 3 P4P guy, all interchangable between him and Crawford.

In fact, nearly every respected boxing source and top fighter has Inoue and Crawford as their top 1 or 2.


And this is all before the Tapales KO.

[JOITATS]

I expect TBRB and Ring to give Inoue the #1 now.
