Realistically, how high can he go ? He moved up to 122 and washed a 2 belt holder easily and will probably do the same to Tapales. Is 130 possible ?
I think 130 is a bit too much. The punch a lot harder up there. I honestly think he should stay at 122 and make everybody come to him. His next huge fight will probably be Nakatani but that’s going to take YEARS IF it happens

Fulton was the only hype job in this fight. All these black boxing channels were hyping him up because he was sleek and had long arms lol. Just because he has those qualities doesn't make him Floyd or Andre Ward or Bud Crawford. There's levels to this.
That’s extremely unfair to Fulton

Inoue is better than anyone Ward/Crawford has fought and will ever fight .

Plop a nikka with Inoue’s talent in any of their divisions and they’d be fighting for their lives

I mean... Monster is my favourite fighter and I thought he would win by KO, but that was disappointing from Fulton.

It's easy to say when I'm sitting at home watching, but he played right into Inoue's strengths and none of his own. Terrible gameplan

I agree. But at the same time I think Inuoe's masterful talent in using his speed in closing the distance but Fulton in quicksand

I always said people make way to big a deal about height/reaches. Boxers win fights, not heights and reaches.

Taller fighters have their advantages, shorter fighters have their advantages.
It don't matter whichever you are because it's about who can execute their game plan on fight night, period.

All the greatest fighters were never the tallest nor shortest in every fight, but they could fight as the taller or shorter fighter depending on the match-up.

I might cop espn+. Just give me good cards consistently. I did DAZN for a couple years until they raised the prices too much.
