Sorry, Inoue isn’t on Crawford and Usyk’s level

[Jacobson]

Less than 2% of the adult male population is under 120lbs, so the talent pool where Inoue fights is very limited. Yes, Inoue is a “4 division champion”, but those “divisions” are separated by like 3lbs. He’s only moved up a total of maybe 12-14lbs his whole career. Crawford moved up more than that in one fight.

Inoue gets dropped all the time and his biggest name win was 40 year old shot Donaire who broke his eye socket and he went life and death their first fight.

He is P4P top 5 for sure but to pretend that he is on Crawford and Usyk’s level is laughable. Usyk beat Fury who outweighed Usyk by 60lbs+.

An average 13 year old American girl weighs more than Inoue FFS. There are literally grown women who could pick him up and beat his ass.

Inoue is better and fought better competition

old man donaire is better than all those one dimensional scrubs at heavyweight

usyk isn’t on bud and inoue level

[The Big Dunn]

I think all 3 are 1st ballot HOFers.

Crawford and Usyk have the wins that may separate themselves from Inoue a bit but he is right there.

Inoue beats Nakatani and then wins a FW belt he is right there with them.

weight classes are based on a percentage of your weight so im sure they are correct even tho i have never tried to work the numbers, smaller guys will have smaller differences between weight classes is how it works out basically

[RuleOfTheSpear]

I agree.
There's not a lot of risk taking if you look at his career.
Everything is calculated and in his favor.

He would still be a HOF and only just the 2nd/3rd best fighter after Crawford/Usyk

The average female weighs more than Inoue FFS. He’s not the best fighter in the world when there are women who could pick him up and beat him.

We can use similar point that only a small % of the adult male population is heavyweight so the talent pool Usyk faces is very limited too

I have TBud as the current reigning p4p king

whooping ass at 160 would further solidify his place on the throne

the sweet spot in boxing is from featherweight to light heavyweight or 126 to 175

current cruiserweight is crap

most the heavies are limited, but we're fascinated due to all of them having one punch ko power

Wrong. The average American male weighs 199.8 pounds.

[MalevolentBite]

Wrong. The average American male weighs 200lbs.

This is true.

[SouthpawRight]

Wrong. The average American male weighs 199.8 pounds.

This is true.

both of you missed this key part. average fat ass american male are not athletic contenders. their 200 is not an in boxing shape 200

Thus, the average American male is overweight by about 30 pounds
The average American adult male (ages 20 and older) weighs approximately 199 pounds and stands about 5 feet 9 inches tall, according to the most recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This results in an average body mass index (BMI) of around 29.4, which falls in the overweight category (BMI 25–29.9). A BMI of 30 or higher is considered obese.
To determine "overweight by" an amount of weight, we calculate the difference between the average actual weight and the weight at the upper end of the healthy BMI range (18.5–24.9). Using the average height of 69 inches:

The weight corresponding to a BMI of 24.9 (healthy maximum) is approximately 169 pounds.

subtract 30 from 200 and that comes out to 170 which is about my stated upper limit 175

You can count american fat asses 200 as boxing shape

I wont

reality will outlast any of your delusions

No, women could maybe pick him up but not beat his a$$, do you realize how weak women actually are comparatively? I can count on one hand in all my years in gyms how many times I have seen women irl bench +135lbs. That said, he passes the eye test against the absolute best fighters in the world in the weightclasses he fights in and generally gets a dominant stoppage. The guy is fantastic to watch.
