  • Inoue now has 13 wins against TBRB top 10 opponents, all of whom were current/former/future world titlists

    #10 Ryoichi Taguchi
    #1 Adrian Hernandez
    #1 Omar Narvaez
    #8 Kohei Kono
    #5 Jamie McDonnell
    #5 Juan Carlos Payano
    #6 Emmanuel Rodriguez
    #4 Nonito Donaire (unification)
    #8 Jason Moloney
    #2 Nonito Donaire (unification, lineal title fight)
    ​#8 Paul Butler (undisputed unification)
    #1 Stephen Fulton (for the unified titles)​
    #2 Marlon Tapales (undisputed unification, lineal title fight)

    13-0 vs fighters ranked in the top 10 of the division he fought them in at the time of the fight
    8-0 vs fighters ranked in the top 5 of the division he fought them in at the time of the fight
    5-0 vs the top ranked fighter in the division he fought them in at the time of the fight (meaning he beat the #1 or he was the #1 and beat the #2)
    13-0 vs fighters that have won at least one world title (all full titles, not interim/regular/secondary/IBO)
    7-0 vs reigning world titlists in the division ho fought them at the time of the fight

    4 division world titlist
    2 division undisputed champion
    2 division lineal champion

    Take note, this is how you build a legitimate resume.

    He's not hauling former titlists up 3 weight classes from where they won their titles or fighting them 10 years past their primes like Gervonta Davis does. He's not ducking anybody or playing promotional politics. He just seeks out the very best fighters in his division, destroys them, and moves on to the next.

    Its a fantastic resume in less than 30 fights, no need for endless tomato cans to build a glossy looking record.

      Inoue has no issues fighting mandos either and he said he's staying in 122 for atleast another year or so, so unless the opponents eff their chance he's likely to add Nery, Goodman and MJ to his resume of champs. I think like Moloney did, I expect Goodman to get a belt after Inoue eventually vacates.

        He don't take 5 years to acclimate to a division before proving he's the no1 in the division too

          Going to be very interesting to see how high up the weights he can climb. An outstanding resume already!

            he needs a name.

            Tank Davis would be a good name on that resume. but that's a 50/50 fight.

              To be fair, it's also more feasible to build a resume like that when you are an absolutely incredible talent. I wish more guys pushed themselves as much as we all do, but I don't expect it to this extent for other champs, either. This guy is special.

                84% ko ratio against top 10 opponents a tad better than Wilders 28%

                  I still think Inoue is rather unlucky. With just a bit more luck, he could have both Chocolatito and Rigondeaux in his resume. But Chocolatito had to lose in the card meant to set up their fight and Rigondeaux lost his belt during lockdown when Inoue wasn't generating enough money to entice him

                    The two who took him the distance were both lineal champions, too. Taguchi would become the lineal/Ring/WBA/IBF light flyweight world champion after Inoue beat him, and Nonito Donaire is freaking Nonito Donaire.
