I think Inoue looks beatable at 122 and above.

[The D3vil]

That's not holding bud to same standards then. Bud should have moved up 5 years ago then. And not hung around at WW so long

The best/most lucrative fight was Spence.

Spence was a universally ranked top 5-10P4P fighter & the mot valuable scalp around.

[deathofaclown]

126 is his limit in terms of beating good fighters

I agree he is more beatable at 122 also, but I just think he's too talented for the others around there right now.

126 is where size will start to counteract his talent in a bigger way.

Part of the reason I want to see Inoue vs Nakatani next year before he moves to feather is that

Fulton was supposed to be the in his prime slick skilled borderline P4P fighter that Inoue was going to have the higest challenge in his career and a significant test, who suddenly became an overrated featherfisted average beltholder with flaws that was easy picking for Inoue after he dismantled him. At least Nakatani is actually in the P4P as of now and the only realistic opponent Inoue has in his weight class vicinity, because unfortunately Bam is a bit too far still.

That's not true at all.

Bud controlled the hell out of that fight.

It was an 8-4/9-3 fight easy.

Madrimov just did better than people thought because they didn't know him.

Buds the man but he can’t be p4p number 1 anymore with that kind of performance against somebody with ten fights

he had a long run I personally had him number one since ward retired and they tried to crown that duck canelo despite aging ggg out and running back to 154 to wait and hide

Exactly how I see it.

[JakeTheBoxer]

I think he can win a title at 126. he will struggle, but he is a top fighter, he should go for it.

That's a ridiculous metric.

Lomachenko & Usyk were both P4P #1s with under 20 fights.

Guillermo Rigondeaux was on every P4P list in the world in 10-15 fights.

Guys who come from the Eastern European/Cuban schools of boxing that are amateurs for a long time turn pro late, that's why they don't have that many fights.

Madrimov is 30 years old.

Madrimov didn’t fight Gary Russel jr his first fight

or Orlando salido his 2nd fight


and Rigo beat prime nonito donaire in his 12th fight

Its ridiculous to try and give bud credit like he beat a Lomachenko/Rigo level fighter

robeisy Ramirez got knocked out by some random guy…

bud struggled with a guy with 10 fights… bottom line

[_Rexy_]

I disagree.

Monster's been knocked down multiple times.

Bud's beaten everybody convincingly.

He's never had a controversial decision & never been knocked down.

Monster has been knocked down once. Same amount as Bud.

Madrimov hasn't had the opportunity to fight a Donaire type fighter.

His outing against Bud proves he's a quality fighter, which is why you don't see guys at 154-160 calling him out in mass

He's 30 years old & an accomplished Eastern bloc fighter.

You act like he's a 22 year old novice.
