    Is TBud Still the Most Versatile Adaptable Smart Boxer Today

    Does TBud still fill the former role of Floyd? Carpe Diem

    or are Naoya and Usyk better at it? I'm not too familiar with Usyk and Naoya

    Inoue tends to allow himself to be drawn into firefights to entertain the crowd. He is capable of just boxing to put away rounds, but prefers to make a show of it and consequently takes punches he doesn't have to. I firmly believe he'd have just as many knockouts if he fought a bit more conservatively on the outside and he'd take far fewer shots doing it, but he wants to deliver action.

      I simply don’t see it. Crawford has a mean streak and a sheer will to bully his way to take over a fight when he feels like he’s not dominating enough, but with the exception of the Spence fight which was his best performance and a virtuoso performance at that, I still don’t see him as a brilliant technician, he’s a good boxer puncher, but I still think if he were to fight an elite counter-puncher who’s defensively responsible, he’d be toast.

        Bivol and Usyk to me are better at making technical adjustments when things aren’t going their way.

          I honestly think if he fought an elitenpressure/inside fighter like Ortiz he'd be tpast

            Bivol my fav active, but he fumbled 2 rounds against Tiger Paw Artur in fight 1

            TBud punctuated his point by making sure he won the last 2 rounds against Bivol's Cousin Madrimov in an incredibly close fight

            Top guys in boxing today two camps the Soviet Educated Pure Boxers [Bivol Usyk] OR the Stylist Boxer-Punchers [Naoya TBud]

            But Bivol beat the single best opponent out of all the top 4 guys

            Tiger Paw Artur is Russian-Chechen FINAL BOSS!
