How Strong is Retired Ippo?

When did Ippo reach world champion level? That is the number one question I get asked the most, right next to when Ippo is coming back to boxing. It’s highly debated whether Ippo has ever even reached world-level status at any point in the entire manga, and the answer to that question is way more complicated than people think. Because depending on where you look in the story, Ippo is either significantly stronger or noticeably weaker, and that heavily affects how we judge him. On top of that, the opponents he fights also matter a lot. Depending on how strong or weak Ippo is at that specific moment, he ends up facing fighters that could be considered world champion level themselves, which makes things even more confusing. So what I want to do is go through the different points in the story where Ippo’s strength peaked, break down what version of Ippo we’re actually looking at, and also analyze whether his opponents were truly world champion level at the time. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ❤️Become a member and get access to exclusive perks:    / @readingcrow   ❗️Subscribe for more Hajime no Ippo content :    / @readingcrow   📱Insta:   / readingcr0w   ⚜️Patreon:   / reading_crow   ❓Second Channel:    / @learning_crow   🌐Discord Server:   / discord   👍Leave a like if you enjoyed this video 📲Share this video with your friends
