    beating weak comp across multiple divisions is better than beating the 3 top guys in one single division? of course if you use this logic you would have broner being the next fighter of hte decade.

I have real concerns of his stamina too but maybe cause I only saw a few fights of him. Let see if that changes tomorrow.

      yeah ive been checking him out recently to see what the fuss was about and cant say i was that impressed. chin was stuck in the air, wasnt really that fast or smooth and the guys all stood in front of him. was more impressed when i watched emmanuel rodriguez school butler the other day tbh.

        Those of you who are questioning Inoue’s resume dont know sht about Asian boxing.

        Inoue was matched up pretty tough from the beginning yet he made it look easy cuz he is a special talent.

        I bet you guys dont recognize the japanese opponents on his resume but they werent tomato cans.

              Is there a middleweight fighting today who has defeated more or better top middleweights than GGG has? If so please tell me his name. It sure isn't Saunders because his claim to fame is out pointing boxers GGG already knocked out.

                I like Inoue right now. I trust my eyes and my judgement of boxing talent. I think he is a fine champion. Could I be overrating him? Sure , that's possible. I could wait years and see if he beats everybody and then say I like him if he does. Where is the skill in that? Where is the fun in that? Hindsight is always perfect. I like spotting a great fighter early and praising him early. If I am wrong it's not that terrible. I predicted a good future for Canelo and Spence very early in their pro careers. I think Inoue has a great future. Hell, I could be proven wrong tomorrow. So what.

                  Because he is 20-0-1 (record tie) in world title fights and he's beaten 6 top 5 middleweights in his last 10 fights including the champ(Canelo) and the guy behind him.(Jacobs)

                  Is there anything else you expect him to have done? lol

                    This^

                    GGG is more than passing the eye test. He's been the truth now for a while. I honestly think GGG makes certain people feel insecure for some reason.

                      Come on man. You are a big time GGG hater. You always have been and you always will be. If he KOed Canelo, Jermall and Jacobs in his next 3 fights you would still say his resume was garbage. Nothing he has done or ever will do will satisfy you. His resume must not be that bad when Ring Magazine has him PFP number 1 and no reputable PFP list has him lower than 5th.
