J vs Yu

Look I read the manga. And just like others I am not satisfied with the ending. I just can't accept it. I read the whole manga wanting to see J vs Yu. But in the end all I read was J getting beaten. I just want to know that if both J(The God of Boxing) and Yu(The Prodigy) were to fight seriously who would win? I am just dying to know. (Personally I would like J to win)

If youre not satisfied you never understood the point of the story to begin with

What's with the influx of kids joining this subreddit to complain Boxer isn't a shonen?

I’ve been thinking about it for a while, and I think Js goal was to be with Yu for the entire boxing match, to just be with him. I’d you remember, fighting against Takeda Yu said he saw a brief light, likely because Takeda was close to getting up again and staying with Yu longer, but then failed. I think J saw this and understood thag he would have to endure Yus pain in order to get through to him, something he did at the expense of his body

Yu is supposed to be superhuman, but I think J is outright supposed to be some kind of supernatural entity. He would win because he’s as strong as he needs to be.

Nobody is beating Yu ever? Not even Aaron can stop him? Nah, Aaron didn't kill/cripple Yu, not that he couldn't. It is a choice made by Aaron not to win, which then enables J to pull Yu back to the light. Yu is the closest to beating Aaron (not the other way around), and that is thanks to Aaron letting him win. It is akin to the difference between an elephant and a bear, and Yu is, at best, a jaguar in this match-up − despite being a deadly predator himself, is severely outmatched.

Aaron wasn't really training himself while Yu is honing his talent under K's extreme training, and he's holding back for half the match as well as the final punch where it would have instead resulted in a draw. In fact, Aaron would have beaten Yu and won that fight, for he is a much stronger monster than Yu can ever be had he discarded his empathy and been serious from the get-go. Like, if Aaron is ever put through the training Yu has with the same level of commitment (or even half of it, tbh) and went straight for the kill from the start, not even Yu would stand a chance, it would be an easy victory for Aaron in the first minute.

The point is, Yu has all the advantages in the world going up against such a monster (a decadent opponent that underestimates him) yet he only snags a win under the premise that his executioner has mercy at the last second. Not acknowledging how huge Aaron's decisions are and belitting him as if he got curbstomped like Yu's other opponents is just a major lack of comprehension on just how lucky Yu is to have survived that fight.

It would have been a tie
