no, but according to everyone, the ducking begins at the point of someone winning a belt, so the 2 1/2 years was being generous to Inoue. The duck was probably longer than that. There was no moving up, Fulton had his belt for years.
The question is though if this guy thinks that Inoue and Fulton were fighting in the same division in 2022 and prior or something? Back in January 2021 Inoue was an unified champion at 118. He went undisputed on December 2022, and at the same time received the WBO super champion which allowed him to get ranked Number 1 in WBO for the next division up if the champion requests. On January 2023, Inoue officially vacated all his 118 belts to move up to 122 as number one WBO, and on July 2023 he fought Fulton on his first match at 122.
Calling that a 2.5 years of duck by Inoue is the equivalent craziness of calling Canelo having ducked Bivol for 6 years from May 2016 when Bivol first got the interim title which later got elevated to full title until May 2022 when Canelo lost to Bivol. Or, claiming that he is continuing to duck Beterbiev for over 6 years and counting from Nov 2017 when Beterbiev first won a belt at 175.

a smart bussines move.
1. How long until he just goes away and boxing can move on? (And all the other fighters anywhere near his weight will just have to fight other contenders instead of constantly dreaming of and shamelessly begging for Canelo paydays.)
2. What will boxing be after he's gone? Will boxing go back to fighters fighting or move on to an even worse state?

Tomorrow is the press conference. Looking forward to Canelo's excuses. I expect we will hear the same prepared script of him listing all the fighters he has previously fought, as some kind of evidence he's not scared to fight David. The problem is he's proved he's scared of David by sitting in that press conference with Mungia instead of David.Elastic Recoilz El_Mero like this.
