Is there anyone that can test Inoue?

[deathofaclown]

I don't even see anyone at 126 putting up a good go.

Robeisy Ramirez like how did this guy win 2 gold medals?
Just stands flat-footed like a sausage with a high guard and fights in bursts.

No intrigue there for me. He'll just stand in front of him impersonating a punchbag as shots continually smash through and around his guard.

Leigh Wood? Lets not even go there.

I agree

I actually think 126 would be about his limit in terms of weight but when you look at the actual competition there, I don't think the weight would really play a factor.

The problem with those guys at 126 is none of them have anywhere near the skill level Inoue does. If he can outbox Fulton for a fun without breaking a sweat, then he can certainly outbox those in the division above.

You don’t think 2-time Olympic gold medalist Robeisy Ramirez is anywhere near his skill level?

Donaire already did

He's good, but I don't feel he's on Inoue's level, even in terms of skill.

Amateurs and pro's is a different thing. I think Inoue would have way too much skill for him.

Luke Campbell was a gold medalist, does he have more skill than Haney? Does he have more skill than Tank or Shakur? None of them won any gold medals, 2 didn't even go to Olympics.

Solis, gold medalist, turned out to not be as good or skilled as some folk without medals or great amateur backgrounds

Klitschko gold medalist, not as skilled as Fury when they fought.

Tony Yoka, gold medalist, nowhere as skilled as a lot of non olympian pros.

We could go back and name dozens throughout the years


So no, I don't think Ramirez would live with Inoue skull for skill. In fact, I don't think he would last any longer than Fulton.

El venado Lopez.

That actually would be a good match up... but the Deer has a belt at 126, so he still has business in that division. Unless, the Monster continues to climb weight classes and stack em up. Anyone can be beat, and there's always someone out there to fight. #noboxingnolife

I think there are some fun fights for him at 122 & 126. I know the perception currently is that Inoue looks unbeatable in his weight class, but he still needs to fight the fights. If he moves up too soon and loses to a bigger guy all the history revisionists will come out of the woodwork to discredit his accomplishments and bring him down for not having that many fights in certain divisions.

[Loque-san]

Lopez and Ramirez are solid fights for Inoue. They both hit a lot harder than Fulton.

Why are you talking about Robeisy Ramirez when he could fight the Spence-Crawford winner to prove who the best at 122 is?

[Clegg]

Nobody at 122 or below. If Ramirez can continue to improve then he can at least be competitive. They are both high talent and skilled. But Inoue is technical perfection whereas Ramirez makes more mistakes.

[IceTrayDaGang]

a game aggressive tough mexican is the only fighter i can see beating inoue... a slick counter puncher boxer or a come forward brawler will not beat inoue.
