Comments Thread For: Inoue-Tapales Undisputed Championship Targeted For December 26 In Tokyo

[_Rexy_]

For whatever reason, the fact remains that Inoue never fought Chocolatito, Estrada, Sor Rungvisai, or Cuadras.

Despite passing through the same weight class.

Estrada moved up to 115 less than a year before Inoue moved up to 118. If they had fought in that small window, it would be revisionist "Inoue fought him when he was a blown up flyweight!!" "Cherry pick!" etc. So he should have fought Cuadras coming off a loss?

Guys want to fight Inoue now that he's a cash cow. Nobody was lining up to fight him when he was all risk and no reward.

If he wins, 2 time Unidisputed, 4 Division world Champ. Is that P4P #1?

Yes, hes no1 pfp already. So this should cement it.

Another fight I’m looking forward to. What Inoue did to Fulton was impressive.

[crimsonfalcon07]

He managed not to fight ANY of them. That’s not a good look no matter how you slice it.

He did destroy Fulton though which was a great win.

It's not a good look for them. Inoue has proven, more than any other fighter today, that he's open to fighting the best. Name one other fighter who has 50% of his fights against world champions, and 80+% of his career world title fights.

Or just say you hate Inoue and be done with it. This whole "Inoue hasn't fought anyone" take is absurd in the extreme.

Unfortunate to think that if he was the cash cow he is back then we will probably be talking about seeing history being made for the third undisputed division instead of second, but unfortunately his status didn't really jump until he was firmly in 118. And, given that what made his current status was IMO his win of WBSS so his decision to quit waiting for Chocolatito/Estrada and go up to 118 was correct.

At least fans can be relieved now that they won't have to wait to have the guys at 126 to be lining up...I mean, Robeisy and Venado has already made offers to be the first to fight him. Depending on status of Vargas, if Figueroa gets raised from interim to full champion that will also be a fun one, and who knows who will get Woods' old belt next.

They won't even get in the ring with him. Valedez was never hurt in the fight with Shakur. Shakur couldn't Stop Christopher Diaz, Navarrete did. Shakur didn't do any damage to Joet, Navarrete bruise up his right eye. Shakur did not damage to Valdez face, look what Navarette did with one hand, his weak one. If he had his two hands working they stop the fight. The eye was already fully closed. Worst than Ugas.

You just look forward to Shakur schooling Navarette.. that’s the only thing you should be worried about.

is Tamales a future hall of famer?

I would love to see it. I like watching boxing, not just predicting victories. I don't care who Wins, I told you. I wan to see how Shakur can deal with a fighter with Akward angles, akward punches, off rythym style, longer reach, higher volume of punches, more pop than him. He needs to prove in the ring not in his fans imagination.

It's like saying don't make Shakur vs Tank because Shakue will outbox Tank anyways.

He's a two division world champion who has actual ranked champions on his record, unlike Demetrius Andrade. And he's won more real belts than Tank Davis. Some wins age better than others.

I'm a Crawford fan, but is Jeff Horn or Julias Indongo? You can play this game with anyone in the four belt era.
