    Espinoza at 6'1" at featherweight is actually more of a freak than 6'5" Fundora at 154lbs its like a 7 foot plus HW.

    He hasn't earnt a payday against Inoue - let him unify at 126. Lets see a freak show - Ball vs Espinoza

      LOL.

      but Tapales, Nery, TJ Doheny all earnt paydays.. yeah right.

      Espinoza vs Inoue is the fight to make at 126 when he moves up next year. Best fight at 126. Both guys with TR.

        I really want to see Ball vs Espinoza. It will look slightly hilarious, but I think it'll be a war.

          he fought Tapales to unify 122 - doh. Nery was a money fight. I'm against the Doheny fight but he has had 3 top ten fights at 122 so he deserves an easy fight. There is no fighter in today's boxing scene who fights 4 tough competitors in a row.

          Not Tank, Not Fury, Not Canelo - maybe Usyk but Dubois wasn't seen as a tough fight when he took it

            Funny how he never mentions El Venado Lopez.

                  dont see how its the best fight but its a solid fight. hopefully the guys at 126 partially unify before innoue moves up to narrow down the choices

                    The Lopez fights is the one he should be running towards. The guys at 126 should not be calling out fighters at 122.
