Where will you place The Monster Naoya Inoue if he wins the WBSS?

5-10? I can't see him losing. Not that high for me. I cannot rate a guy who I could midget toss on the weekend that highly. Sure he might be skilled for being a little people and I am positive he could build toys in the North Pole without issue, but I have to draw a line here. ;)

If --he wins the WBSS --give us Nery's head on a silver platter --beats SSR at 118 he would undoubtedly be P4P

I already had him #3 p4p. Payano was a spectacular win v a solid foe, but He stays at 3. I think y'all aren't giving him credit. No, he hasn't beaten an elite fighter (Neither did GGG, and many of y'all had him top 3). But he's beaten a bunch of solid dudes (Taguchi, Hernandez, Kono, McDonnell, Payano) across 3 divisions). I don't know if the WBSS can get him over Lomachenko, but it can move him over Bud if he doesn't do anything. Assuming Usyk, Spence, Mikey, Canelo don't do anything great, I can see Monster at #2 if he runs through a dude like Tête. This dude is a SUPERSTAR, it's just that us westerners don't know it.

Would confirm Top 3-5 for sure

Top 5 if he wins the WBSS, no doubt.

Crawford Usyk Canelo Spence Inoue

I already have him at #6 right now so maybe #4.

I hate goofy, mythical "lb for lb" ****, maybe my least favorite thing about boxing. But I couldn't help but think watching him fight that there is nobody in the sport further ahead of the other guys in his division than Inoue. It's like the Grand Canyon, Rodriguez can maybe be competitive for a while, maybe. All those other guys, including Burnett and Tete will be eaten alive by Inoue and made to look like bums. Inoue may be the best in the sport

It’s not if he wins the tournament, it’s how many rounds he will do it in Lol I was thinking 5-7 earlier

It’s not if he wins the tournament, it’s how many rounds he will do it in

if you're asking for personal opinion, the argument is endless based on the PFP for RING MAG or ESPN he should be above usyk, spence, arguably above garcia BUT that depends on how inoue wins garcia has been soundly beating opponents by dec, but if inoue obliterates everyone a la tyson then he's gonna get even more credit

Confucius say; "If he rearry monstah, how come he rike 5 foot 5 and weigh as much as pretty high school girl?"

I don't think that bracket is very difficult. He should win. I'd say he cements his place in top10. Not top5

Depends because everyone uses different criteria for what makes a fighter p4p.....but he should be top 5 on his accomplishments

Top 5 without a doubt. I am one of the first ones on nsb to talk about Inoue, half of you didn’t even know who he was
