Chocolatito is on his facebook page claiming that Inoue's team believes he is ready for him in September. What a fight! This is definitely the fight he needs to gain a headline show stateside on HBO. Is it too early for Inoue and how do you fools see it?
This fight needs to happen!!!
Naoya Inoue (10-0-8) wants to fight @chocolatitobox in sept/2016 in Las Vegas or LA @Canal4Ni @nuevaya @NigelBoxing pic.twitter.com/dhBZMuZ8rT— Carlos Alfaro Leon (@CarlosAlfaroLeo) May 10, 2016
damn he has 8 draws?
smart move i think they want to get on the Canelo vs. GGG undercard as the co-feature to the main event.
Can you guys picture Canelo vs. GGG, this, and David Lemiux vs. Stevens
boxing wins. that's for sure.
a card worth buying aka itll never happen

Inoue is suppose to fight Narvaez next in pointless rematch, then he will have another mandatory (Butler-Petchbarngborn winner). He's not going to fight Gonzalez in September and it would be stupid fight to make now, at least before Naoya makes his US debut as planned, probably on Top Rank card. He just struggled a bit against very poor fighter, he needs more seasoning anyway. That fight can be great one and a big one, but not just yet.
I don't think he struggles to make weight - window isn't as small as some here suggest. I heard he walks around 125, which is not much - remember he was able to make 108 not long ago. From what I read he's not planning to move up any time soon - only person claiming otherwise is Frank Warren, but it's probably jush wishful thinking as he wants a vacant title for Butler and Conlan.
I agree with this. Chocolatito will surely max out at 115, whereas Inuoe is already there and has only just started filling out
They should get this fight done asap
ya think? what if canelo comes calling?
No it isn't. He's got the stuff to be the P4P King himself.
There's a limited window for this fight though because Inoue is going to grow (as in, physically). Logic would suggest he won't be at 115 for too much longer. Inoue was FOTY last year according to a lot of writers & analysts.

Is Roman moving up?
Nayo has the longer reach by miles, or so it seems and a height advantage too. Not to mention he has carried his power well. I reckon he could stop Gonzalez early.
