Floyd Mayweather wondered why his former ward Gervonta Davis doesn't get much recognition in the P4P ratings: “When will Gervonta Davis be on the list of the best boxers? Does Naoya Inoue deserve this? Absolutely. Terence Crawford? Absolutely. But what about Gervonta Davis? He is not given credit because he was involved with me."
Well-known trainer and analyst Teddy Atlas answered the question of who he considers the best boxer on the planet, regardless of weight category. The specialist could not name one fighter, putting Terence Crawford and Naoya Inoue on top.
"Monster" Naoya Inoue (25-0, 22 KOs) scored an impressive stoppage victory in the eighth round over Stephen Fulton (21-1, 8 KOs) and took away the WBC and WBO super bantamweight belts from him in the main event of the boxing evening at the Ariake Arena in Tokyo, Japan. For Inoue, this is the champion title in the fourth weight category.
Wahid Rahim, coach Stephen Fulton (21-0, 8 KOs), warned the organizers and the team Naoya Inoue (24-0, 21 KOs), that he will not let his fighter into the ring if he remains dissatisfied with the Japanese hand taping.
“I have never fought a fighter like him, but the same can be said about him,” said Naoya Inoue (24-0, 21 KOs), who will face Stephen Fulton (21-0, 8 KOs) for his WBC and WBO super bantamweight titles.
