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

[Elheath]

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.

Plus Taguchi was the first ranked opponent Inoue faced in his career (on his 4th match), and Donaire I depending on how you saw his down count, that could've been a KO too (still a great fight regardless).

[Elheath]

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

And he could've had the better version of Casimero instead of Butler if not for COVID cancellation then Casimero being fat. He still could get him but the luster it had back in April 2020 when it was scheduled is certainly gone.

he needs a name.

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

And there it is folks............... Tell Tank to go up 5 fking lbs and fight Teo, Haney, Matias or heck, even fight at his own weight against Loma, Shakur etc...

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.

Very good point, Inoue FACES the mandos instead of ducking them and calling out lightweights or minimumweights.

Another impressive pattern Inoue has kept on the annual Ring rankings:
2013 Junior Flyweight No. 9 (will defeat No. 4 Adrian Hernandez for his first belt in April 2014)
2014 Junior Bantamweight No.1 (Champion vacant)
2015 Junior Bantamweight No.1 (Champion vacant)
2016 Junior Bantamweight No.1 (Champion vacant)
2017 Junior Bantamweight No.1 (Champion vacant)
2018 Bantamweight No. 1 (Champion vacant)
2019 Bantamweight Champion
2020 Bantamweight Champion
2021 Bantamweight Champion
2022 Bantamweight Champion
2023 Super bantamweight No. 1

Inoue made his pro debut in Oct 2012. A full decade of being the best of the division.

Those guys are unknowns and are not that good. He dominated weak divisions. You can be ranked high and still suck in weak divisions.

[Dr. Z]

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

Monster is quite the little puncher. Power is tied to class and Wilder has next to none.

You are a casual and a clown if you think Adrian Hernandez, Omar Narvaez, and Nonito Donaire were unknown or not that good. Maybe you should follow a different sport because boxing isn't for you.

The Ring isn't relevant anymore. Not since their editorial staff bailed and went to form TBRB.
