[@DJTomTom316]

Inoue #1

[@vh448]

Ed you're right if people just go by the facts but that's not how a corrupt world works. as you stated in a previous video, they may not allow Inoue to reach his full potential and deprive the fans from experiencing his greatness. If Inoue was a black American, there wouldn't be any question he's p4p #1. Inoue is a fresh face to a sport traditionally dominated by certain type of men. when you're at the top, you don't want to lose your status so they see him as a threat. like you said, he doesn't party or mix with celebrities. He does everything the right way. He works hard and totally deserves all the success he achieved. He would be a great role model for the younger generation of boxers. I totally agree with you.

[@jamesjay7929]

The truth is Inoue broke Terence Crawford record , four belts in two divisionin in a very faster time . Inoue is not the one to set the record first, but Inoue is the one to break that record in a faster time as of now period.

[@dredasouthwestphillian2773]

It's no way Inoue even comes close to Bud on the list. Bud beat 9 undefeated fighters in total, four of them were Champions. Inoue has beaten two undefeated fighters in total, one was a champion. Bud beat two p4p fighters, Gamboa and Spence. Inoue beat no p4p fighters. It's not even close. Crawford has it all day.

[@dmsk604]

​@@dredasouthwestphillian2773 Gamboa was not P4P when he fought Bud. Good win for Bud but definitely wasn't in the P4P rankings. Bud is my guy too but he's not more accomplished than Inoue, also my guy. That's just facts, undefeated may help Bud's case but Inoue has 1 possibly 2 HOF fighters on his resume. Inoue's also fought more champions. However, if you have Bud #1 no arguments from me.

[@feiwsq]

I think Inoue is not even closer to the records of Bud he beats the p4p ranked boxers, the last 5 fights of Inoue is not even rank top 10, actually Tapales is considered a huge underdog.

[@dredasouthwestphillian2773]

@dmsk604 Gamboa was p4p, sir. Believe you me, Spence will be a hof. I don't care how many champions a fighter beats, I care about the quality of the champion or the fighter. Bud has beat far better opposition I'm terms of styles. That is why I have Bud over the monster. Rodriguez, Tapales Ninito, and Butler all have similar styles. No lateral movement, hand speed, ability to fight going backwards or ability to have a high counter ability. Bud has fought and beat fighters that had every skill I just named. That's the difference between those two. Both are great, Crawford is just more skilled.

[@festusadams7417]

Fighter of The Year 2023 - Naoya 'The Monster' Inoue Question: Why should Naoya Inoue be 'Fighter of The Year' for 2023? Answer: On December 13, 2022, 3-Belt Bantamweight Champion Naoya Inoue defeated WBO Champion Paul Butler to become Undisputed Champion at Bantamweight. Inoue stopped Butler in the 11th Round to grab the Undisputed Champion at Bantamweight. On July 25, 2023, Inoue fought undefeated WBC, WBO Super Bantamweight Champion Stephen Fulton who was from Philadelphia, PA. Not only did Inoue defeat Fulton, but he outright stopped him in the 8th Round. Arguably, he won every round. If Fulton won any rounds, it may have been two at the most. So Inoue moved up from Bantam to Superbantam to fight the man who was considered the Number One man at Superbantamweight. Right before the fight, Fulton's team did not like how Inoue would have his hands wrapped, even though there was nothing illegal about it. Wherever a fight takes place, the sanctioning body of that place qualifies whether a fighter may wrap his hand a certain way. It's too bad that Floyd Mayweather made a statement that Inoue's wraps were illegal...or he should fight in the United States to qualify how great of a fighter he should be considered. Well, Inoue gave in to the demands of Fulton's team, and shut Fulton Down! The fight was held in Japan. When Inoue KO'd Fulton, that made Inoue a Four-division World Boxing Champion! He first became a World Boxing Champion at Junior Flyweight on 06 April 2014 against Mexican Adrian Hernandez by 6th Round Stoppage. It was the WBC Belt - this was Inoue's first World Championship Belt. Naoya 'The Monster' Inoue defended his title once, then on 30 December that same year of 2014 Inoue moved up to Super Flyweight, skipping Flyweight to fight WBO Champion, Omar Andres Narvaez. The Champion from Argentina had a Professional Boxing Record of (43-1-2, 23 KOs). Inoue's record was (7-0, 6KOs). Inoue stopped Narvaez in two rounds to become a Two-Division World Champion! On May 25, 2018, Inoue fought for the WBA World Bantamweight Championship against the British Jamie McDonnell who was (29-3-1, 13 KOs) while Inoue was (15-0, 13 KOs). The contest was stopped in the FIRST ROUND! Now he was (16-0, 14 KOs). On May 18, 2019, Inoue was (17-0, 15 KOs) and put up his WBA Title Vs Puerto Rican IBF Bantamweight Champion, Emmanuel Rodriguez (19-0, 12 KOs). This bout was a Showdown! Two undefeated Bantamweight Champions meeting in the ring: Who would win? It was over in Two Rounds... Inoue 'The Monster' did it again! Now Inoue was (18-0, 16 KOs) and held two World Championship Belts. On November 07, 2019, The Monster defended his two World Bantamweight Championship Belts against 'The Filipino Flash', Nonito Donaire (40-5, 26 KOs). Inoue's record was (19-0, 17 KOs) - this fight was Inoue's toughest fight to date. He won by a Unanimous Decision in which Inoue suffered a face injury during the fight. It was a battle, and was a 'Fight-of-the-Year' candidate. What a fight! Inoue was now (20-0, 17 KOs). Inoue then defended his World Titles in the next three fights all by Knockouts! Then he faced Nonitio Donaire again who had gained the WBC Bantamweight Belt. Donaire was now holding a record of (42-6, 28 KOs) when he and Inoue matched up again. Now, this fight was for three of the World Bantamweight Championship Belts. Inoue was (22-0, 19 KOs) when he faced The Filipino Flash for the second time. In this fight, it lasted only two rounds: Inoue picked up his 20th KO in his 23rd fight. After this fight, he fought Pual Butler who held the WBO Bantamweight Belt and stopped him in the 11th round. Butler was (34-2, 15 KOs) before suffering his 3rd defeat. This is when Inoue had become the 4-Belt Undisputed Bantamweight Champion of the World! Inoue's last two fights were at Super Bantamweight where he first beat undefeated WBO and WBC Champion Stephen Fulton. Fulton was considered the best Super Bantamweight due to his victories over very good opponents. Fulton was a true boxer who could 'Stick-and-Move' like no one else in that division. His record was (21-0, 8 KOs) when he faced Inoue. Before the fight, Fulton said, "I feel like the better guy all around... I am more of an All-Around Fighter...he's more of an athletic fighter looking for the knockouts...I am the all-around guy who could win in more than one way...also, I can hit pretty hard, too..." Inoue was (24-0, 21 KOs) before the fight. When Inoue stopped him in the 8th, Fulton's comments were, "My timing was off..." Now, Inoue won World Championship Belts at: Junior Flyweight, Super Flyweight, Bantamweight, and Super Bantamweight. Inoue's next fight was to be against the IBF and WBA Super Bantam Champion, Marlon 'The Nightmare' Tapales' who was (37-3, 19 KOs). The fight for the Undisputed Super Bantamweight Championship of the world took place on December 26, 2023 - the stoppage was in the 10th Round. Tapales was no pushover and he gave 'The Monster' a pretty tough fight, but Inoue was too much - and picked up his 26th victory with 23 KOs. This is the reason he was/is Fighter of The Year for 2023. As far as the 'Pound-For-Pound' Fighter, if not Inoue, then Crawford. The 'Pound-For-Pound' is an opinion as is 'Fighter of The Year'. The 'Fighter of The Year' is probably an easier decision to make than a 'Pound-For-Pound' Fighter decision. Certainly, my pick is Inoue for 'Fighter-of- The-Year' - but 'Pound-For-Pound' is a harder pick for me.

[@clubeyxander5132]

Because so many people do not seem to know about Inoue's record, I'll repost an abridged version of my own post somewhere below. I looked up Bud's past opponents, and going back to 2013 when he beat undefeated Andrey Klimov, I found 7 undefeated boxer's he had defeated. Both were not yet champions, and I didn't bother to look into earlier fights. Of the 7 undefeated fighters, 3 were reigning champions: Jeff Horn, Julius Indongo, Viktor Postol. None of them have won any meaningful fight since. Of the other 4, Yuriorkis Gamboa is the only viable fighter, though his stint was in featherweight and he has never won any meaningful fight since the Crawford fight. The other 3 never grew to be great boxers. None of the 7 have become world champions. Being undefeated doesn't always mean the guy's a beast. Crawford has beaten much better fighters with a loss or more on their sheets. Crawford has won against 5 reigning champions. Of the other fighters Crawford has beaten, Ray Beltrán and Ricky Burns have become world champions for a short stint. Inoue has won 8 title fights against reigning champions (Donaire twice), of which two were HOFers and two were undefeated. Of the opponents Inoue has beaten, 4 have become world champions. Ryoichi Taguchi even went on to become a long reigning unified champion. Emmanuel Rodriguez recently retired as reigning champion. Jason Moloney is a present champion. Donaire won a champion belt after his first loss to Inoue, though he lost it to Inoue again. If you count regular champions, he has beaten 2 more. Again, Inoue has beaten two HOFers and has won thrice. Both were reigning champions, contrary to some people's belief. Inoue has fought 21 championships in a much shorter span than Crawford. Crawford has fought 18. In the 21 fights, Inoue has a 90.4% KO ratio. In his 18 fights, Crawford has 83.3%. Both incredible, but considering that the outcome of bouts in lighter weights ending in KO only average approx. 33%, whereas the heavier ones average around 66%, you can see how astonishing Inoue's KO rate is. I just put out some of the records here. It's anybody's opinion to decide who's the better one. I'm not a boxing expert. All my stats could be a bit mistaken.

To add a bit to your comment, Manny Rodriguez hasn't retired, apparently he made that post in a moment of vulnerability since they screwed him on his purse, but he has confirmed he will not retire and will look to fight his mandatory Ryosuke Nishida in march or april.

@@karlavazquez31 Wow, thanks for the info! I should've done better, my bad. Since I really liked Manny Rodriguez's fights, and since it was too premature of him to retire, that's really good news!

It took Bud more than 6 years to become undisputed in his division. I took Inoue 6 months in the new weight division to become undisputed. There’s your case. However, you can go ahead and give the whatever the F..k awards to the crying baby Bud Crawford because Inoue don’t give a sht about all that stuff. Right now, he’s already in camp to train for the next victim.

Inoue deserves it. But I don't want to see Cryford crying and begging on social media anymore. So in my book FOTY and P4PKING goes to Tearing Bud Cryford.

I don't think Inoue care, he let's fan judges him unlike Crawford call himself p4p#1,just like Jordan sad that let's fan decide who's the goat, not like LBJ. call himself the goat.

I don’t think inoue could careless if crawford pfp 1 which he’s not! Inoue just looking for more legacy and chasing after them championship belts while destroying all his opponents/ champions and fighting the best and let the real boxing fans be the judge of that! A true gifted fighter

[@dredasouthwestphillian2773]

Spence was a shell of himself due to inactivity, but Tapales wasn't coming in with 3 losses. Two of those losses coming by way of knockout. I love how you fail to mention Taples last five opponents outside of Mj had a record of 46 losses, lol. Bud is far more accomplished than Inoue.

[@bodiep3466]

No clown 😂 I already school your ass in other comments, I’ll school you again😂 Inoue accomplishments far above Crawford and inoue only have 26 fight and 30yrs old, while Crawford in 40 fight and 36 year old😂

Yall doing everything yall can to discredit Crawford. He destroyed a top 5 p4p fighter, what top 10 p4p fighter has Inoue fought?

[@samsondezery4225]

for me is inowe.crewford is not the best.

[@dredasouthwestphillian2773]

The p4p list has always been based on who had the best skills and who beat the best opponents. Not who collected titles from mid level to subpar champions. Fun fact, Donald Curry and Ray Leonard, during two separate times, were considered p4p number 1 by wins they had amass in one weight class. Both at welterweight actually. Bud has beaten far better opposition than Inoue. It's not even close. Crawford is lightyear above Inoue in resume, level of opposition, skill set and accomplishments.

[@Round1SportsTalk]

sorry that's not so I wish it was bro I do. Crawford can't touch Naoya when it comes to accomplishments. it's not even close he is so far away that you shouldn't bring it up because.it will make Crawford look bad and i don't go by opinion only their rec and Naoya is destroying Crawford's rec. That is not the way to go

[@dredasouthwestphillian2773]

@Round1SportsTalk Well Inoue's rec shows when he fought Paul Butler, Butler last five opponents has a combined record of 96 losses. Inoue's rec also shows that Bud beat 9 undefeated fighters, 4 which were undefeated. Inoue's rec shows Inoue only beat 2 undefeated fighters, only one being an undefeated fighter. I rank Inoue number three on my p4p list, but he just isn't over Bud.

[@clubeyxander5132]

​@@dredasouthwestphillian2773 Wow, you seriously think you're making an argument? And I don't think you've got the ridiculous number right, either. It's probably 103 losses. However, for some reason, 87 of them come from the same guy (Jose Aguilar) , another guy had 10. The other two were solid competitors. Jose Aguilar is freakin anomaly in boxing, his record should not be considered credible in any evaluation of a boxer. I can't think of any reason why the hell Butler fought this guy. That aside, do you know how many loses S.R.Robinson, Ali, Roberto Duran, etc. had? Also, when Marvin Hagler beat Thomas Hearns, Hearns already had a loss. When Hagler beat John Mugabi, Mugabi was still unbeaten. Does that make Mugabi the better fighter than Hearns? Or rather, Hagler himself had a loss, so does that mean the Mugabi fight was actually an upset? Having an undefeated record is impressive, but that itself doesn't convey much meaning without the context. You mysteriously said: >>> Bud beat 9 undefeated fighters, 4 which were undefeated Whatever that meant, I looked up Bud's past opponents, and going back to 2013 when he beat undefeated Andrey Klimov, I found 7 undefeated boxer's he had defeated. Both were not yet champions, and I didn't bother to look into earlier fights. Of the 7 undefeated fighters, 3 were reigning champions: Jeff Horn, Julius Indongo, Viktor Postol. None of them have won any meaningful fight since. Of the other 4, Yuriorkis Gamboa is the only viable fighter, though his stint was in featherweight and he has never won any meaningful fight since the Crawford fight. The other 3 never grew to be great boxers. None of the 7 have become world champions. You see, being undefeated doesn't always mean the guy's a beast. Crawford has beaten much better fighters with a loss or more on their sheets. Crawford has won against 5 reigning champions. Of the other fighters Crawford has beaten, Ray Beltrán and Ricky Burns have become world champions for a short stint. Inoue has won 8 title fights against reigning champions (Donaire twice), of which two were HOFers and two were undefeated. Of the opponents Inoue has beaten, 4 have become world champions. Ryoichi Taguchi even went on to become a long reigning unified champion. Emmanuel Rodriguez recently retired as reigning champion. Jason Moloney is a present champion. Donaire won a champions belt after his first loss to Inoue, though he lost it Inoue again. If you count regular champions, he has beaten 2 more. All that being said, yes, Butler was a drag. He won his title only because Casimero couldn't make weight two times in a row. But what does that matter when we're talking about Inoue? Look at Inoue's resume. Again, Inoue has beaten two HOFers and has won thrice. Both were reigning champions, contrary to some people's belief. Inoue has fought 21 championships in a much shorter span than Crawford. Crawford has fought 18. In the 21 fights, Inoue has a 90.4% KO ratio. In his 18 fights, Crawford has 83.3%. Both incredible, but considering that the outcome of bouts in lighter weights ending in KO only average approx. 33%, whereas the heavier ones average around 66%, you can see how astonishing Inoue's KO rate is. I just put out some of the records here. It's anybody's opinion decide who's the better one. I'm not a boxing expert. All my stats could be a bit mistaken. In such cases, please educate me, I'd be obliged.

[@dredasouthwestphillian2773]

@clubeyxander5132 You mentioned Sugar Ray Robinson having losses, right? Sugar only started facing losses going in to his 91st fights. I don't see how he's comparable to anyone on Inoue's resume. You mentioned Hagler, Ali, Mugabi, Duran, Hearns, and I don't recall who else. You said a lot, lol. Nobody, and I do mean nobody on Inoue's resume, had the skillset or the ability to bounce back and beat nuanced styles like those aforementioned fighters. Hearn was a 5 weight world champ with a knockout Stoppage over Duran. Ali Essentially beat every man that beat him, excepted Larry Holmes and Berbick. Of course we knew Ali was far past it when he suffered those last two losses. Hagler went on a seven year winning streak after his second loss, only after beating both men that beat him before he ever one his first title. Yes, the fighters we're discussing had losses, but their situation were entirely different from the champions Inoue fought. None of those champions went on to beat illustrious top name fighters like those fighters you mentioned. I'm excluding Maghabi from that list. The only fighter who may have went on to beat solid names was Nonito, but he still suffered five losses going into that fight with Inoue. I have to read the rest of the things you said in order to respond. Give me one sec.

[@clubeyxander5132]

@@dredasouthwestphillian2773 I said even some of the greatest fighters have losses. And I was comparing them to the people Crawford beaten, not Inoue. And I gave them as examples as how fighters with losses can be the greatest. You have misread everything I've written. Please take more than a second to read my comment.

[@ubeman401]

Bud should still be No. 1 p4p. Inoue destroyed two average champions who doesn't even ranked in p4p rankings. Crawford destroyed No. 4 p4p Spence at the time and was doing well and great despite his misfortunes before the Crawford fight.The excuses came after Errol's horrible loss bc Terence was simply too good and they want to discredit him. Naoya needs to fight the biggest names and challenges outside Japan and beat whoever to gain the recognition his supporters wants.

Stop it clown Spence ain’t even pfp number 4 😂 you said that because Crawford have Spence in 4 just because when they fight each other, win or lose crawford have the excuse of “I lose to pfp 5fighter/ I beat the pfp top 5!” Since he have a lot of bias american crowd like you, he can say whatever and they’ll listen😂 back to Spence, he stay in one div his whole life never move up to dare to be great and stay comfortably in one div ain’t deserve pfp top 10, Spence just got off of car accident and healing from eyes injury, came in looking high as hell and they take around 6 years to fight each other😂 beating a person like that don’t deserve foty, while inoue moving up destroying 2 unify champions both in prime and in his new weight class with no tune up fight and become 2x undisputed in just a year!

[@dredasouthwestphillian2773]

Crawford is p4p number 1 without a doubt. Bud beat two p4p fighters, Gamboa and Spence, Inoue beat none. Bud beat 9 undefeated fighters, 4 were Champions. Inoue beat 2 undefeated fighters in total and only one was a champion. Tapales became Aj Akhmadaliev's mantatory by beating a guy name Jose Estrella who had 18 losses. Tapales last 5 opponents outside of Akhmadaliev had a combined record of 46 losses, man. Tapales himself had three losses, two coming by way of stoppage, man. It's no way Inoue comes close to being over Bud in resume, or accomplishments.

man you sound like you get your facts from word of mouth have you ever looked something up yourself because you so far off that I can't talk to you i wish you looked up more so you and me can be on the same page. then we can talk and if you find anything that put Crawford accomplishments over Naoya please share it with me because i need something to fight for Crawford if your thing im not with Crawford your mistaking he my guy USA all day but the truth is the truth. please find something i can use because i looked all over and there nothing

I don’t need to check because it’s true you’re not wrong you act like you just made a point to a point that you brought up not me so what he did that a Japanese super star became undisputed in six months. It took Terrence Crawford almost 7 years whole that

And I dare say if Inoue in the same weight as crawford he would smoke Bud too Those that look pass these facts are just clown D riding black, since crawford fans keep comparing Inoue last fight vs his last fight which is Spence, Spence ain’t pfp top 10, a 1 div champ that only stay in his lane and never move up to challenge the best, no wonder he been winning, weigh bully a lot of fighters! And obviously bud is faster, and also Spence wasn’t the same after car accident and eye injury plus he look high asf coming in the fight, so bud beating that fighter ain’t impressive and it take him 6 years to become 2x undisputed and fight only one time this year, while inoue move up to his new weight div no tune up, and destroyed both unify prime champions and become 2x undisputed in a year! And just because inoue in lower div doesn’t mean they cant fight or don’t have better talents than higher div you clown😂 you said you looking at boxrec but you left all these facts out😂
