Inoue NOT Afraid To Get Hit Like American Fighters That Run. Haney Should Take A Page Of Inoue.

[crimsonfalcon07]

What do you mean "challenge himself"

Boots unlike Inoue can't fight whoever he wants.

He couldn't make Crawford, Spence, Ortiz, & all those dudes fight him without bending over a barrel.

Inoue, like Tank or Canelo can fight who they want because they're cash cows.

It's completely unfair to compare guys like Boots & Crawford's resumes to guys who guys jump at fighting

And if Boots got knocked down by a Lyft driver, you'd better believe, he wouldn't get the benefit of the doubt.

Fighters in the lower weights have always had to take what fights they can, and Inoue being a cash cow is a relatively new thing. He made only 500K vs Donaire 1 in a title unification in the World Super Series final, for instance. Boots made 3.3 million vs Avanesyan. So the notion that Inoue is a cash cow while Boots isn't is patently false. Boots fights in a far more lucrative division.

Second, Inoue has said yes to every opportunity he's gotten. Boots' dad has said things like "He's not ready for Spence and Crawford, turned down a fight contract with Crawford "out of loyalty" to a company that's not even in the boxing business any more, went the IBF route to avoid Crawford, waited to petition for his shot until the fight was contractually impossible, turned down Ortiz Jr, refused to put up another 500K to fight Norman and told Norman Sr that they actually didn't want to fight and wanted to wait until undisputed, etc. This false narrative about him being avoided is nonsense. He's so feared that Karen wanted to fight him again. A guy who's actually being ducked doesn't have a guy get right back into contention to earn the rematch. That happens because the guy thinks he can win. He's got guys from lower weight classes who want to fight him. He's on record doing the avoiding, not being ducked.

"Cash Cow" is a relative term.

Inoue is a lot more lucrative in his weight classes than Boots is.

Welterweights have been making tens of millions of dollars for decades, now.

Boots is not a bigger cash cow than Spence, Crawford, Pacquaio, or Mayweather, who've fought in his weight class in the past decade.

Inoue, however is the biggest pay day any of those fighters under 126lbs will ever have, so in his weight range he has MORE power.

:You say Inoue "took every opportunity he's gotten", well, what top 10 P4P fighters has he had the opportunity to fight???

Who's the best fighter he's fought? An ancient (but still good) Nonito???

"Cool Boy Steph", who's talented, but most people thought he lost to Figueroa

Boots' neighborhood of 147-154 is wayyyy more dangerous than Inoue's

There's way more at stake for him.

There's nobody anywhere near him that's making P4P lists or is a draw.

It's a lot easier for him to dictate who he fights & when he fights them.

Another great fight although ending with controversy was the Navarrete-Suarez fight. Both men giving their all. No running. No excessive holding.

he's pretty much spot it!!

That guy is race baiting ass clown. He is a tribalist! He is not a true boxing fan. He could never be taken seriously.

[champion4ever]

I wonder what was his thoughts on Pernell Whitaker and Floyd Mayweather, Jr? Did he consider them runners too?

[Dakuwaqa]

Dumb thread

Haney is chinny.

Spence and Crawford > The BUMS The "Monster" is being fed.

indeed. It is a “hit” and “dont get hit”.

the first word is “hit” which means that there should be more emphasis of boxers trying to hit than boxers trying not to get hit.

They should reward fighters who want to win than fighters who fight not to lose.

That's how offensive-minded fighters DO.

No doubt, he gets vicious when someone lands on him. It's in his DNA.
I think every boxing pro to trainer shows that their respect. Even Paulie said he could never do that.

Inoue's a throwback to Pacman, Trinidad...
Not afraid to prove his superiority, brawl, go tit for tat.
It's what makes him the most exciting and feared guy in the sport.


but will never understand how certain people have a problem with that.
maybe it's just hate, discrimination.

It tends just to be losers on forums (like TheProudLunatic) who think they're superior to others for supporting a particular style/fighter even though all they did was passively watch it on a screen like everyone else.

People who have miserable sad lives, tend to hate on others.
I don't even respond those, it's just a waste of time.


I come here to have intelligent conversations with those who know boxing.
