SNAC is the present of physical preparation. All boxers should see Victor Conte. Everything is fine with Victor. His past conviction for supplying prohibited substances (see the Balco case) is in the past. He recently said he knows how to pass the VADA test, but don't worry, Conte is a changed man. Just learn all the secrets.

I don't agree that Inoue is #3 P4P . I still have him at #1 using the original meaning of P4P. If they were the same size would Usyk or Crawford great as they are beat Inoue ? I say no.
I can't imagine Crawford fighting either of the Charlos , not where they are currently in their careers. Some years ago it could have made sense , but now ? No way , Crawford is in a different universe than they are . To be honest , Crawford has no peers among his peers. Benavidez and Sheeraz are huge guys compared to him so I don't think those are good fights for anyone coming up in weight even though168 looked natural on him.
As far as Walsh goes , I agree with Malvado , Walsh is not going to get to the top at 154 or any other weight class. He's ok but just not good enough for the top level, nor will he be ever. He just isn't that caliber of fighter. He can make some good money being Danas pet boxer but that's about it.

Inoue just got knocked down by a cab driver, bro.

Inoue has shown that he can be hit, hurt, & knocked down even by lesser talent.

Hell, if Nonito Donaire was just a little bit younger, he might've handed Monster his first loss.

He's a top 3 fighter in the world, but Crawford & Usyk are both a lot less vulnerable than he is

Nelo seems to be burnt out
Not really going for the "kill"

Wanted to see them fight in the middle of the ring but that would not have been in Bud's best interest.
Eh, Bud did what he needed to do to win.
And of course, NSB loses it's collective mind !

"Bud is the best to ever have done it !"

Cardenas is no cab driver. Inoue has had vulnerable moments because he takes chances in order to give the fans exciting fights. I like that. As he showed against Akmadaliev he doesn't have to fight like that to win , but I am glad that he does. Usyk and Crawford are great fighters and it's fine to have them above Inoue on a list that is subjective. I don't see either of them beating Inoue if they were the same size though.
I don't care for the way that P4P has been changed in recent years . It's turned into a " what have you done for me lately ? " list instead of its original meaning.
