You say WOT?

Best hard rock band since the RHCP

[archiemoore1]

I've never believed Inoue HAS to come to America to be a superstar. He's doing big things anyway. But I disagree with Todd Boof on one thing. Inoue is an amazing fighter and certainly one of the best. But I cannot put him over Boots Ennis. In accomplishments so far, yes. But in skill? Skill for skill? Inoue is extremely good. He'll be in the hall of fame for certain. He deserves every accolade he's receiving and then some. He's fit and extremely explosive. He packs a mean punch with both hands and has blinding speed. He's not some normal dude. His IQ is high, he has no weaknesses and yada yada. But Boots is still more skilled as far as boxing goes

Rock Band only when they sold out
Listen to Mothers Milk
Cool if you wanna call it Rock but not imo
And pretty darn good especially live

He’s not a star in America though. I’d say Ryan Garcia is a lot bigger than him

That has everything to do with Americans being ****** and nothing to do with Inoue's star power. Guy made his US debut years ago. He's fought in Vegas and scored a KO win to defend his title on ESPN. Porter didn't even know he's fought in the US already.

There's an arguement for Crawford.

But Boots ?

Nah.
Inoue > Boots

But that doesn't mean that people are necessarily above him in skill.[QUOTE]

Inoue needs to be tested by VADA and fights Casimero in a neutral ground to get my respect

[Corelone]

He has another problem. Who wants to pay Inoue to come and beat up their home town hero? If he went to the UK and KOd Charlie, the after party would still be in Tokyo. Eddy wouldn't give him a shilling to come to the UK, even with a percentage. Thats where Vegas has an edge. They don't care where you're from, A or B side.

[Corelone]

In Vegas, the Japanese can party hard, in their fashion. The japanese community is huge in America almost as many as in Japan. Unlke a smaller place where such a community wouldn't fit and not just the Japanese.

[Corelone]

Maybe I exaggerate the numbers, but just because they don't make the news doing ****** things, that doesn't mean they're not there.
