So what now for Inoue?

[BigZ44]

Looking at the guys in the rankings, I'd say potentially realistic opponents are: Josh Greer, Rau'shee Warren, Aston Palicte, Nikolai Potapov, Daigo Higa, Manyo Plange. So basically, the options are incredibly limited. Inoue has already beaten all the solid 2nd tier guys like Moloney, Rodriguez and Payano. I guess the other option, which TR likes to do, is bring someone up in weight. Josh Franco would make sense and be a decent fight, potentially the other Moloney brother, Mikhail Aloyan, Kal Yafai. Maybe they can tempt Ioka or Nietes to try to become a 5 weight champ, those 2 would be by far the most intriguing options and Nietes is struggling to get fights anyways.

How about Plania?

How about Plania?

Yeah, he'd be a decent potential option to bring down from 122

bums galore

Maybe Sor Rungvisai can move up?

Best I could come up with, I don't remember what weight him and Greer fought at. Or maybe the guy who had the bull**** win over Emmanuel Rodriguez.

I'd like to see him fight Rigo next. That'd be a good fight before the fight with Donaire/Casimero. I also want to see him fight both Donaire and Casimero before he moves up. I think Donaire beats Casimero, but if he doesn't then I wouldn't mind Inoue vs. Donaire again after Inoue/Casimero. If Donaire beats Casimero, I don't think we'd see Inoue vs. Casimero at any point.

I think the WBC ordered a rematch between Gaballo and Rodriguez. I'm kinda leaning in favor of a Nietes/Inoue fight the more I think about it. Let Nietes go for a shot at being a 5 weight champ and solidifying a HOF resume and Inoue gets to face the most slick boxer of his career

Or even Ioka in Japan......

That would be massive in Japan, but could see Ioka trying to unify here soon
