Comments Thread For: BoxingScene.com's 2023 Fighter of The Year: Naoya Inoue

[Tomasio]

No doubt Inoue should be #1 p4p & fighter of the year. He became the undisputed champion in his second category(out of the four he's been a world champion) in less than a year.

should have been haney or crawford

When is pf p no1 announced? My head says inoue but my heart says bud

Inoue as FOTY has become the obvious choice.

He's won honors from almost every boxing source from Ring, ESPN, CBS, The Sweet Science, BVM Sports, Metro, MSN, Essentially Sports, World Boxing News, The Shadow League, Express, Boxing News 247, BoxingScene...

If there was a prize for most impressive performance of the year then Bud would have won it - but it was dominating a NEW division in less than a year that did it for Naoya - I don't believe anybody has EVER done that before.

It's not announced - it's updated on a monthly basis or adhoc basis. In a good year where all the top fighters fight it might change 2/3 times.

Definitely should’ve been Devin or Terence. Not no damn Inoue.

[boxing IQ]

No issues with the call. So even BoxingScene ignored Crawford’s cries about being FOTY.

I looked you up. You seem to know a thing or two about being ignored.

Crawford fought once. Haney arguably lost. So no, it shouldn't have been. It's the obvious choice.

inoue is the correct call but I wouldn't have a problem with haney. Inoue's destruction of fulton wa just as impressive as crawfords win, it just wasn't as big of a fight. Then throw the tapales win on top and he clearly edges crawford for me. Loma and prograis are better wins than fulton and tapales, but the manner in which inoue won gives him the edge for me. The loma fight was very close and could have went either way.
