Comments Thread For: Could Naoya Inoue Face Vasiliy Lomachenko? Chris Algieri Says Not So Fast

[Airtioteclint]

It's never going to stop. It was just a couple of years ago when these fools were saying he would never move up to 122 because the sharks there would eat him alive. And the year before that they were saying Nery would be the one to deal him his first loss.

Lol now you got fantasy threads with him fighting never ending higher divisions and old retired fighters in an impossible to argue "he'd get wrecked" threads.

I'm telling you these fools can't breathe when Inoue wins.

There's an article floating around claiming Inoue "walks around" at 138. No idea where that came from, aside from maybe the 14 day weigh in video where he stepped on the scale mid workout and weighed in in the 130's


Inoue has been significantly smaller against all of his 122 opponents. Hell, he looked 1-2 weight classes smaller than Donaire when they fought too, who didn't look like he'd even dropped much weight from his 126 days.

Inoue said he walks around 63 kg

Donaire fight was a while ago, he’s packed on weight since then

That's where they got the 138 number from.

And yeah, he's obviously put on some weight, he's moved up since then lol. But Donaire is likely still bigger than him. Fulton, Tapales an Nery all were.

No, Inoue too small to move up

The next super fight can possibly be Monster vs Bam.

What's wrong with Inoue staying at 122 and defending his titles ? It doesn't appear that he has trouble making the weight.

Nothing wrong and he has no trouble making weight but when you are too good compared to the rest of the peers in that division and accomplished all the records he's capable of reaching people demand guys to move up.

He's moved up plenty already. At some point it will be too much. He could probably go to 126 , but not just yet. There are guys at 118 that could move up for him to fight at 122. I think that he'd be smart to stay at 22 for a minute, until his body tells him to move up.

Is Hagler not an all time great? Never moved up,not one pound .Stop this double standard for Inoue.

Look at the greats on Haglers resume and the lack of elite quality on Inoues, makes a huge difference in your comment, something about fans today not wanting greats attempting great things, personally, I feel fans are scared thier hero gets beat and this is behind their protective way of thinking, if Inoue chooses to move up to 130/135 that's great if he doesn't it doesn't matter his career will be judged when its all over anyway, you cannot judge a resume until its all over as it can change drastically at any point in a couple of fights.

What you conveniently leave out is that the best names on Hagler’s resume moved up in weight.And yet he's still an all time great. As is Inoue .If some American fans aren't convinced sfw.
