Comments Thread For: Naoya Inoue, the rarest of pound-for-pound monsters

[famicommander]

Outside of non prime Nonito, you'd be hard pressed to find a name that is worth mentioning more than once.
These tiny divs are filled with dead "weight"
1 name will usually stand out amongst the dreck

Prime Nonito ruins The "Monster"....

Omar Narvaez made 27 successful title defenses across two weight classes and was the #1 ranked fighter when Inoue knocked him out.

Stephen Fulton was a reigning unified champion and the top ranked guy when Inoue easily knocked him out. Then Fulton moved up to featherweight and won another title, and is about to move up to super featherweight to challenge Foster for a title in a third weight class.

After Inoue beat Ryoichi Taguchi in what was a step up fight for both guys, Taguchi went onto win the WBA, IBF, and Ring Magazine world titles.

Marlon Tapales was the top rated opponent available, a reigning unified champion, and a former world titlist from another weight class when Inoue knocked him out.

Luis Nery was a two-weight world titlist. Kohei Kono won two world titles. Adrian Hernandez was a 2X and reigning world titlist and the #1 ranked fighter in the division at the time. Manny Rodriguez was a reigning world titlist and he won another world title after Inoue stopped him. Paul Butler was a 2X and reigning world titlist. Payano, Doheny, and McDonnell were former world titlists. Moloney won a world title after Inoue stopped him.

1) vs 27 nobodies. No div has as many nobodies as these tiny divs.

2) Mr 8 KO ...Not that KO's define a boxers worth. Just that he posed no threat vs a more talented guy than him. The "Monster" reigns supreme over the dreck.

3) (See Fulton)

4/5) Blahbalhblah......Nobodies beating lesser nobodies. I'll say it again, EVERY DIV has to have "ranked" fighters. Scull was ranked. Let that sink in !

Everything I came here to say. Well done sir. People mistake their lack of knowledge for a lack of accomplishments by Inoue. He has been in my top 3 since 2014 (maybe 2015 when I actually saw the Narvaez fight) the dude is next level amazing.

Id say inoue is no1 he jumps to the best in new weight class and stops them, fight after fight.
Pac beat greater fighters than floyd but was always behind floyd in pfp rankings, even with barreras and jmms and morales on resume, so there really isn't a case for bud to be above inoue, as bud beat a pfp fighter.?

He's a truly great fighter, although you can see more vulnerability going up in weight.

He got briefly hurt and knocked down again. Shakur is too slick and much bigger. You can beat a bigger guy, but if the larger man has equivalent or better skill, then it's difficult to beat that man.

Yes, id pick raphael Espinoza to best inoue at 126 if inoue stepped up to that fight immediately. But if inoue could acclimate to the weight like usyk, Bud does, then inoue could do something there

Inoue wasn't hurt as he got up and came back with fire and won every round. He himself said he wasn't hurt to Murata. He was just caught off position which can happen anyone. Naoya is also slick and won't be hit if he fights defensively. But he said it makes fight too easy and boring.

This is hilarious. Inoue is the only pure boxer that fighs on front foot. Raymond ford who's good friend of shakur said Inoue has better distance management than shakur. Roy Jones and tank both said inoue is a complete package. He just fo8gjt reckless against cardenas and still won all the rounds other than round. And now will fight with distance as he won't be reckless.
