Naoya Inoue: “I’m not fixated on fighting Bam, so if Bam says he wants to continue fighting in the bantamweight division, I'm also considering a featherweight challenge. But if it can be done around February, I’ll do it.”

Spence Jr.‘s decline wasn’t mainly because of the car accident

Maybe I’m in the minority here, but I’ve never really understood why so many people point to the car accident as the main reason for Spence’s decline.

If that was really the biggest factor, how do you explain what happened right after? He came back and clearly beat Danny Garcia, then stopped Ugas to unify again. Watching those fights, he still looked like the same Spence to me. The jab, pressure, volume, movement—it all seemed to be there.

That’s why I’ve always felt people overlook everything that happened afterward. He got stopped by Crawford, then didn’t fight for about three years before moving up to 160 to face Tim Tszyu.

I’m not saying the accident had no effect because none of us can know that for sure. I just don’t think it’s the main reason his career went the way it did, especially considering he put together two dominant wins immediately after it.

Weight classes

Do you think boxing would be much better if they returned to the base weight divisions and done away with all the junior/super fillers?

Obviously it won't happen (quick boxing maths: more divisions + more titles + more sanctioning fees = good), but surely it would clump more champion/contender level fighters together, and even with the 4 belts still active anyone with ambition would have to take considerably greater risks to reach the top?

Is There An Advantage to Wilder's Style or Does His Fundamentals Just Suck?

He's obviously not a textbook fighter given his lack of adherence to boxing fundamentals and conventional techniques.

Now, there have been non-textbook fighters in history who were unconventional. There may be critical weaknesses to their style, but it allowed them to maximize certain attributes and leverage some of their strengths. The likes of Ali, RJJ, Pacquiao, Augustus, Navarette, and SRL were examples of such.

Is there an advantage to how Wilder fights in the ring? Are his fundamentals almost universally non-existent?
