News Monster Inoue vs Ye Joom Kim - January 24th Japan

[Kovalev's "Man Bag"]

a lot of haters seem to discredit inoue's donaire win because --- "donaire was too old" excuse.
donaire was 36yrs old.

but according to those same haters, it doesn't appl when
canelo beats a 36 yr old ggg, to become the P4P king.
or when a 38 yr old beterbiev beats bivol.
& of course, a 37 yr old usyk is crowned the P4P king by beating a 36 yr old tyson fury (who's been prev. knocked down over 10x...)
so much for wear & tear.

mind you, crawford is also 37 yrs old.
as are 3 out of the top 5 P4P fighters.
so much for being discredited as over the hill at 36 yrs old.

Usyk was already crowned the P4P king before he beat Fury. He'd beaten Joshua (twice) & Dubois prior. Joshua is a few years younger than Usyk and Dubois is a decade younger. Fury isn't difficult to drop but guys like Floyd Patterson were even easier. In the rematch Fury didn't get dropped and still lost by UD so I'm not sure what point it is you're trying to make here. Also, if you think that it's just the (Western) media keeping Inoue from being crowned P4P king then you're mistaken.

no he wasn't. inoue was rings P4P #1.
usyk was made ring's P4P after he beat fury in 5/2024.

you're completely missing the point, and making this into a usyk butt hugging post.

the point was being over age 35, still merits you to be a top P4P fighter.

Wrong. Usyk was initially rated P4P #1 by The Ring long before he ever fought Fury. To prove it here are their ratings in 2022. At one point Inoue briefly had the top spot only for Usyk to take it again and he's basically kept it ever since (Note: Bud Crawford was momentarily rated #1 after he beat Spence). Correcting you isn't "butt hugging", whatever that is.

Are you calling people haters for discrediting the Donaire win, or just not rating Donaire as his best win? Because it was a really good win, his best at the time, but it’s been surpassed by bigger threats and bigger accomplishment since.

wrong
like i said inoue had it prior to 5/2024
the reason he overtook inoue was because of the fury win

Funny how you completely ignored Usyk having been initially crowned their P4P king. It lasted about a year and he did it without Fury. It also wasn't just The Ring that had him rated #1. The first Fury win did allow Usyk to firmly overtake Crawford as the P4P #1 (again) but he likely could've fought any other top fighter in the division (ie., Parker) and overtaken them given how much size he's giving up every time he steps into the ring.

let me know when you get usyk's nuts out of your face.

he's overrated anyways.
he beat fury, who's better at getting media attention, than actually boxing.
plus he got knocked down by a 1st time mma guy.

Fury isn't the only guy that Usyk beat. Is he? You're acting like he only ever beat a single top heavyweight and excluding all of the top cruisers he also beat. Typical hater. I'm glad that Inoue isn't the top rated fighter in the sport right now because it makes salty fanboys like you cry about it.

PS. Media attention? Another false narrative. The people have made their choice and Inoue came up short.

I can accept Usyk being over Inoue but not Crawford, he's way too inactive and cherry picks too much to be above Inoue (this can change if he beat Canelo)
