Comments Thread For: Tarver Backs Crawford as P4P Best: How Many P4P Champions Has Inoue Defeated?

[MulaKO]

Personally the win against Spence wasn’t special because Spence is overrated and not a top 10 p4p fighter. Dude has been gifted decisions and not the same fighter since the wreck. Crawford also dont want that Ennis heat at least Innoue is cleaning out hia division.

Don’t let the bullchit blind you
He is obligated by a rematch contract against Spence , the same guy who refused to fight Boots and then Boots himself turned away from a mando shot at Crawford
Oh , yeah he made noise when he knew Bud couldn’t fight him but before, that it was crickets

You can't critisize Spence's opposition while praising Fulton's. What "devastating" fighters has Fulton beaten?

I’ve noticed this reoccurring theme, people acting like Fulton is on Spence’s level, which is just outrageous.

One thing about "Bobby Brown crack mouth Tarver", he knows and understands boxing. When that crack head mofo speaks, u "gots" to listen, cuz u will be "edumacated" on boxing. Bud is hands down the best in boxing at this moment in time. Inoue is nothing to sneeze at, either, he's a living legend in my book. And being the best does not mean u can beat everyone, either. There is always someone out there who may very well have your number. Being considered the best just means u are a proven commodity. But Boots is training everyday and just waiting to prove himself. So somebody/anybody who thinks they have a name in boxing, please get in the ring with Boots and fight this man, so he can prove himself too. Come on now, y'all acting cold p..ssy. . For 2024, let's send over some contracts and lets climb those steps, look across the ring into his eyes, and let's face this man, so all the fans can see what's up...

Tarver was my dude when fighting but stick to sh_t U know about, Spence has good wins but nothing devastating Inoue has become undisputed twice and dethroned Steve Fulton a highly respected former champion as well. Inoue is equal to Crawford or just under but don’t try to write him off like he doesn’t belong because you don’t follow smaller fighters. That’s what I feel here, a write off!

It was interesting because Tarver was in the comments calling everyone who picked Inoue a casual and saying Inoue hasn’t fought anyone, and then someone bumped a video of Tarver saying Inoue was the best, and asked him what changed.

Tarver over 4 years ago: "Inoue is #1 P4P talent wse. He's knocking out all these top notch fighters."
Tarver now: "He didn't beat anybody."

You have to look at why that happened.

To some, "P4P" is about your most recent performance instead of looking at WHO you beat, when.

The truth is, Crawford would have had an easy P4P by being a 2x undisputed at welterweight - which no other fighter has ever done in the 4-belt weight class. Simply by answering "come get yo belt back!" and going in there and doing it. At that point, the claim would be undeniable, because not even Inoue would be able to lay claim to such a feat.

Crawford preferred to call out lightweights and super middleweights en route to getting stripped, which is perceived as a duck, which lessens the impact of what he could be.

Meanwhile, Inoue kept stepping to challenge after challenge, back to back, and really has not fought any true soft touches in the recent past. He just makes them look like lesser fighters.

Explain how the lower weights are "more skilled". Then we'll sẹe who the dumbass is.

Well little guys learn boxing for self defence and because they're small they are unlikely to ko big guys with one punch, and can themselves be koed by 1 punch possibly by big guys, so they better then learn the art and not cut corners. When you are 147, they can hit hard to deter big guys and can absorb big guys hits to a point, so cut corners.
That's why little guys like duran or pac or floyd can.move up

I agree with Tarver here. He has a point and what makes matters even worse for Inoue; Is that he fights halfway across the globe in relatively obscurity. Hardly anyone knows him or has even so much as heard of him outside of boxing fans.

The fighters he has defeated has mostly been paper champions. No one has ever heard of them before outside of Nonito Donaire who is now approaching 60 years old.

When Inoue beat Donaire, he was the age Crawford was when he beat Spence.

But yeah, Fulton, Rodriguez, Tapales, paper champions. Jeff Horn, Indongo, elite

their resumes arent that far off. spence has 3 top 5 wins and 4 top 10 wins while fulton has 2 top 5 wins and 3 top 10 wins. spence has just been around far longer while fulton's wins were all concentrated recently in the last 2 years or so

Are you trying to pretend that Donaire and Crawford were at the same stage of their career because they were the same age?

If so, why? It’s overtly disingenuous.

I’ve noticed this reoccurring theme where people think Spence is some top 5 P4P guy based on…..well, he was fun to watch I guess.

like, when did we start rating Danny Garcia and Mikey 147 so highly?

Porter was a trash name for Bud’s resume, but he’s a great win for Spence when the fights were 11 months apart lol
