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

[hugh grant]

So, you’re saying Fulton, arguably Inoue’s best win, hasn’t beaten anyone good.

Ok nice one.

Fulton has beat good fighters with good records probably more convincingly than spence has beat fighters, plus he unified didn't he?
Plus Inoue best him in his first fight in the 4th division. I know you will try ignore that like it's no big deal, but it makes a difference.
I know if people ask bud to try do the same it will be like people picking on bud to you. You will say bud is beating a pfp fighter so don't need to do what inoue does?

You just said he beat no one good now you’re saying he has?

Who has Fulton beat who’s good in comparison to who Spence has beaten who’s good? Since you said Spence has beaten no one good.

False. Donaire was 2 yrs older than what Crawford is now when he gave Inoue hell and was 4 yrs older than what Crawford is now for the rematch. Not to mention donaire had several losses, a lot of wear and tear by the time he faced Inoue. Crawford didn’t have that kind of mileage.

Bud is 36. Donaire was 36. Donaire did have more wear and tear, I'll give you that.

“I’ll give you that”

Craword is in his prime, Donaire was well well well passed his best you doughnut.

Inoue by far the number 1 P4P no doubt he doesn’t fight Uber drivers,, 13 champions and former champions against 6-7 champions and former champions including 3-4 with high mileage on their way out to retire(khan,Brook,Porter

Crawford is just simply the guy with the better resume and quality wins. He was 2 -time undisputed before inoue as well. What he did to spence, shutting down every option spence had and having a counter for everything, is impressive. Spence is a top pound for pound guy and a proven great fighter.
Inoue's best win was against an old fart who broke his orbital bone, complete bums and a mid fulton who wasn't even a great fighter. I rank fulton as decent at best. Inoue got undisputed against a bum who got ko'ed by other bums before, and he struggled a bit, getting tagged more times than I would like to see. This is hilarious.

Ok, Donaire was 36 yrs old and 5 days shy of turning 37. Crawford was 35 and 2 months shy of turning 36 when he faced Spence. But yeah, the wear and tear was a bigger factor. Peak Donaire was pound for pound, late 30’s Donaire was formidable but no longer elite.

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.

Why did Spence duck Boots ?
According to all your posts , you accuse everyone of holding Bud to different standards
So , why did Spence not fight Boots for two years I think it was

[HeadShots]

The problem is Crawford doesn’t have any P4p names either.


Spence is the biggest hype job in boxing history
