    Do you think Inoue would win a world title at light weight?!

    Yes or No?

    Hmmm...a good question.

    I say no, he is too small and his power will not be good enough at light weight. But I would like to see him try.

    Against the right sort of opponent.

    I think he’d beat Kambosos for example or an Anthony Crolla, Darleys Perez, Mickey Bey, Raymundo Beltran type who all held titles not so long ago.

    He wouldn’t beat an elite Lightweight like Tank, Shakur, prime Loma etc though.

      Depends on who he fights.

        He's maybe a little old to step up 3 more divisions. But he's 4 division champ and some still don't think he's no1 pfp.
        Firstly he should be universally considered no1 pfp, then he might have the ok I'll prove that is justified attitude, and then fight Tank

          Depends on the path he takes. If he goes for the low hanging fruit he can.

            This low hanging fruit talk isn't straight forward. So GGG was too tough for floyd? Could floyd have best Sergio Martinez or cotto at 160 and avoid ggg? If there was a weak 168 champ, could floyd jump straight to 168 and bypass 160?

              Time will tell, boxing landscape changes quick at times.

                No, Monster came up from 108, that's already 5 weight classes and he's already in his 30's.

                122 will most likely be Inoue's final weight class.

                  But I think stepping up is always inherently hard as they hit harder and can take more punishment.

                    Absolutely, naturally bigger guys will make a difference. Inoue has skills so he will have to adjust to a bigger fighter. I am a believer that there is weight classes for a reason.

                    Thought about it a bit more and 135 is a long stretch.
