Comments Thread For: Naoya Inoue: The new 'face of boxing'?

[Knuckle sandwich]

Anyone that discredits his greatness just does not really understand his greatness in the ring. That said, I think he is simply too small to be the face of boxing. In USA at least, folks don't really get pumped about the little guys.

Hopefully Inoue can change that. As for the bigger weights none performed that weekend!

New face of boxing downed by a Doordash driver walks around at light welter, best win against ~ 40 y/o Donaire.

Are you dumb or what

Great boxer, but i wish he would step up and fight someone like Tank , time to move up like Usyk and Bud did...All the greats did..And has he ever fought outside of Japan? Thats a huge advantage, just saying

time to move up like bud did??? the mofo took like 15 years to finally moved up! tell tank to stop being a sissy and move up to fight canelo.

Inoue sho is the face of boxing, especially after last weekend. The knock down and then getting back up to dominate and win the fight really made him respected more by the fans... He's not the face of boxing for me tho.

I think Scull is the new face of boxing. Run and poke and run some more. Makes Haney look good.

What I like about Inoue is, he seems motivated by the pursuit of greatness. That’s a rare thing in this sport these days. He can certainly be the face of boxing, especially since he’ll bring a hungry Asian market.

The only possible winner in Canelo vs Crawford is Crawford , and Canelos bank account. Crawford might win the fight , if Canelo wins it , he was supposed to anyway. He knows that it is a no win situation for him, he just wants the money though. As a boxing fan I don't like it , but as a person I can understand getting paid.

i dont know about that.. after his performance last weekend, he's gaining a lot of traction from the fans and causals.. Top rank just posted on their page of the views from last weekend. Also pacman was pretty popular and manny aint really a big guy... yeah pac did moved up and stayed ay 147 but my point is that he wasnt a big guy either.

Inoue didn't start boxing yesterday , he started at 108. There are limits to the human body.
