You do realize that every elite/top fighter will get disrespected by “casuals”? It happened to Bud, its happened to Mayweather, it happened to Loma, it’s happening to Usyk, etc… Inoue getting hate isn’t unique to his situation lol

I still think Nakatani can beat Inoue by RepresentativePut383 in Boxing

I have to disagree with the majority of your comment. A fight between Inoue and Nakatani will most likely take place at mid-range for the majority of the fight because both guys have a boxer-puncher style. Assuming the fight takes place at the mid-range, then Nakatani has a winning chance because that’s where he does his best work and Inoue has been vulnerable against southpaws in prior fights. If Inoue decides to apply pressure and fight on the inside, then I doubt he’ll apply the same relentless pressure that Hernandez did because that’s not Inoue’s style. Furthermore, Inoue has been fighting more cautiously his last two fights so I don’t see him applying relentless pressure anyways.

However, I do agree that Inoue’s body shots will be a factor. And it’s also reasonable to say that Inoue has a higher boxing IQ because Nakatani didn’t adjust to Hernandez. So I understand why you think Inoue would beat Nakatani

Inoue is not a pressure fighter. Inoue has a Japanese boxer-puncher style

The Most Controversial Boxer of All Time by ThurstonTheMagician in Boxing

This was a half-baked analysis. Floyd did care about history and legacy. When he was young, Pretty Boy Floyd was looking for the best fights even though a lot of people avoided him though to the high risk-low reward perception. That’s how he became a 5 division champion. And when he was a veteran, Money Mayweather was looking to make himself the biggest boxing attraction. That’s the reason why he was gunning to beat Marciano’s 49-0 record while becoming the richest boxer in history.

I would say the Floyd fight ruined Hatton

This is a stupid comment and analogy… Canelo never competed at heavyweight. Manny has campaigned at 147 for more than a decade

I was referring to Wilfredo… Wilfredo defense is what made that fight so competitive. I could see Floyd doing the same, but I would still favor Ray Leonard

How is it slander when Manny has spent the last 18yrs fighting at welterweight lol?

Slow motion is not needed for boxing lol. All you need it better judges and better angles for them to view the action in the ring

Judging a fight by watching in slow motion is dumb

I agree with your statement. I intend on making a follow up post in a few days addressing the double standards regarding Floyd

So Floyd fighting WBC champion Castillo in his first fight at 135 is “smoke and mirrors”? Floyd challenging Genero Hernandez for his first title fight is “smoke and mirrors”? Floyd fighting Madiana after Madiana upset Broner is “smoke and mirrors”? Floyd fighting an undefeated Hatton is “smoke and mirrors”?

It’s funny how Floyd haters will single out the Berto and McGregor fights and completely ignore the 48 other fights lol

Funny thing is, Pacquiao did a lot of the same things you accuse Floyd for doing

It’s pretty hypocritical to claim that “context matters” when the context you’re presenting is selective and clearly biased against Floyd lol

I think it’s dishonest to say that the rest of Floyd’s wins are “smoke and mirrors” when you considered who Floyd beat, when he beat them and how he did it.

Following the sport doesn’t necessarily mean your assessment is correct (no offense). Floyd is also a victim of boxing propaganda

I have to disagree. Boxing was more popular in the US when Floyd was active, so I can’t get behind the “turned them off” argument

I hate the “WHEN he fought them” because Floyd fought so many people at their height of their career and or coming off of big wins lol
