Naoya Inoue's resume

Scull was also "ranked" Every div has to have "ranked" fighters. Ranked and utterly forgettable Ok. He was 8th in the rankings. He got the belt Canelo was forced to vacate so we understand the fight. Also, it depends on the division. Being 8th in a deep division, like right now JMW or JWW, is much different than in a weak division like 168. I think you are shortchanging Inoue’s opposition significantly.

I admit I can’t project a lot of the guys at the small weight. But he is consistently fighting guys ranked in the TRBR top 10. He fights mandatories and other champions way more than he does cherry picks. I don’t know. Donaire is great no doubt. But imo Inoue is special.

Strongly disagree. His resume is excellent. These dudes are not bums. Maybe you just don’t know them because most are small guys from outside of America. that’s exactly what it is. It’s like the last guest Shawn Porter had on his podcast (some local rapper or something) and he was giving his thoughts on the whole weekend’s card (Garcia, Canelo, Inoue). When they got to talking about Inoue, that dude was saying how he has not been convinced that Inoue is the real deal…that he felt Inoue would have to fight a “real” fighter. When Shawn pressed him on it and asked, “Still not convinced? Who would he have to fight to convince you? Do you have anyone in mind?” And the guy kinda went, “Uhhhh, I dunno. It’s just that I’m not sold. He’d have to fight someone like……Tank.” Shawn was polite with him, but he kinda’ in a subtle way let him know, “Yeah? You think so…? You KNOW Tank is way above his weight class, right?” What a tool that guest was. Have Seniesa Estrada come out of retirement and have her move up to fight Gabriela Fundora while we’re at it. :rolleyes:

Inoue and who else can you name that had a memorable future in the div Prime Donaire eats him up. I admit I can’t project a lot of the guys at the small weight.

you are truly the forum's clown, what an I d I o t. {"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","data-attachmentid":32468072} "I hate it when someone calls out my idol.............."

Aw Monster's lil baby all upset because me laughing at his shltty resume :lol1: ?!?!?!? BUM after BUM after BUM after BUM..... Let me see yours you f I d I o t.

Naw man. Not Inoue. Inoue and who else can you name that had a memorable future in the div Prime Donaire eats him up.

I don't think 126 will prove too much for him. It's true he's been dropped twice at 122, but I don't think he was hurt at all when Cardenas dropped him. Clean knockdown, but Inoue was immediately alert and communicating with his corner and got up intelligently defending himself. And it's also true that he's stopped 100% of his opposition at 122; 6 KOs in 6 fights, 5 against world title winning opposition, 4 against TBRB ranked opponents, 5 against Ring ranked opponents. At 118 he was taken the 12 round distance and had his orbital bone cracked by Nonito Donaire. And yet he's held up at 122. He was also taken the distance at 115 and 108, and yet he stopped both of his opponents at flyweight, all but one at bantamweight, and all of them at super bantamweight. I don't think the Espinoza fight ever happens. Espinoza has already said he has trouble making 126, and he'd have to continue making the weight for at least another year and a half for an Inoue fight to come his way. We already know Inoue is lining up Akhmadaliev, Ball, and Nakatani next. I believe Espinoza will be well into his run at 130 by the time Inoue is done with those three. Inoue already knocked out Fulton, but he's moving up to 130 to fight Foster anyway. They'll probably give his belt to Carrington, and I don't think Carrington troubles Inoue in any way. Angelo Leo has looked really good lately, but he's not much bigger than Inoue and Fulton outclassed him when they met at 122. I do think Leo is the best fighter at featherweight right now, though. inoue jumps right in, so he might struggle initially. But if inoue takes it easy and acclimatises like bud taking 5 years to fight spence in sure inoue can eventually rule 126. Bud spent a lot of time at 147 not doing anything other than getting comfortable he was afforded that luxury

OK so... He's not only fought everyone (willing to fight him) in his division. But he always risks everything to make the fans happy. He's knocked them all out. He never lets money get in the way of who he's going to fight next. He's never satisfied with his accomplishments. He fights 4x a year, being more active than anyone in boxing now. Plus he's in a division above his natural size. And he said his goal is to conquer 126. *As someone else said what more can you ask from him? If you hate on him for that, you're just a loser trying to get attention.

At one point he'd scored more 10-8 rounds than his opponents have scored rounds against him. That's a heck of a thing. No other active boxer has fought as high a percentage of champs and ranked opponents as Inoue. Possibly not any boxer in history. Second guessing from bigots who would never have the balls to step in the ring themselves not withstanding. It's starting to look like he's finding his limit at 122 though. Espinoza is a literal tall ask at 126, and his power didn't have as much of an effect as his accuracy in this fight, and he's now been dropped twice by left hooks. The only reason some of his opponents haven't been talked about as P4P is that the media has been biased for decades against smaller fighters. Spence was "P4P" with 6 title defenses in one division, and his opponents earned I think maybe 7-8 titles between them. P4P, and honestly, the HOF, are popularity contests that are biased against the lighter fighters. Ignorance of the fighters doesn't mean they're bums. It just means the individual who calls them that is an ignorant cowardly bum itself. I don't think 126 will prove too much for him.

Great fighter, no question about that.

Strongly disagree. His resume is excellent. These dudes are not bums. Maybe you just don’t know them because most are small guys from outside of America. :lol1: I personally would never argue resumes, abilities, etc for fighters below 135. Not for nationalistic reasons but because like a lot of fans, I just don't get into these divisions. Any fighter who is maybe 30 pounds or so heavier than my wife? Something just do not sit right.

how many of them opponents were considered p4p top 10 when inoue fought them? Don't concern yourself too much about pfp? Why did spence deserve to be pf p when he struggled with fighters in his first weight class? And bud took 5 years to fight spence. Inoue jumps right to them

I don't give passes The peewee divs usually have that 1 guy and a bunch of "serviceable" opps. Quickly forgotten about. Bum after Bum after Bum....... Naw man. Not Inoue.

His next few fights will tell us a lot i believe. The Akhmadaliev fight will be interesting. There is then talk of him fighting Nick Ball in December.

In 30 career fights his opponents have won a combined 33 major (top WBA, WBC, WBO, IBF, Ring) world title belts. Why allow your thread to be derailed by an attention seeking imbecile? Just ignore him.
