How would you rate Naoya Inoue's resume right now?

[Malvado]

The way he performs and what he has achieved, I believe he is already a all time great if he retired.

At Age 31, he likely still has 4-6 years of his physical prime and could still contend at the top level considering his punching power and skills similarly to another great in the lower divisions like Donaire.

He has been undefeated for 10 years since he became a champion at light flyweight upto super bantamweight. (14 pounds)

Having beaten 25 (23 KOs) opponents against either top Contenders or current/former champions.

He has beaten

Light Flyweight (108):

Ryochi Taguchi (18-1-1) WBA and IBF champion
Adrian Hernandez (29-2-1) WBC champion
Samartlek Kokietgym (17-4) ranked WBC and IBF challenger.

3 champions

Super Flyweight (115):

Omar Narvaez (43-1-2) WBO champion
Warlito Parrenas (24-6-1) WBO challenger
David Carmona (20-3-5) WBO challenger
Petchbarngborn Kokietgym (35-7) WBO challenger
Kohei Kono (38-9-1) WBA champion
Ricardo Rodriguez (16-3) WBO challenger
Antonio Nieves (17-1-2) WBO challenger
Loan Boyeaux (41-4) WBO challenger

2 champions and 6 top ranked contenders.

Bantamweight (118):

Jamie McDonnell (29-2-1) IBF champion
Juan Carlos Payano (20-1) WBA champion
Emmanuel Rodriguez (19-0) IBF champion
Nonito Donaire X2 (40-5) (42-6) WBC, WBA and WBO champion.
Jason Moloney (21-1) WBO champion
Michael Dasmariņas (30-2-1) challenger for the WBA and IBF
Aran Dipaen (12-2) IBF No. 6 ranked contender
Paul Butler (34-2) IBF and WBO champion

6 Champions and 2 ranked contenders

Super Bantamweight (122):

Stephen Fulton (21-0) WBC and WBO champion
Marlon Tapales (37-3) WBA and IBF champion
Luis Nery (35-1) WBC champion

3 champions

Total: 14 Champions and 8 Ranked Contenders. 2 of those wins being against a aging but formidable All Time Great along in Donaire with formidable champions with varying styles like Emmanuel Rodriguez, Marlon Tapales, Stephen Fulton and Luis Nery.

No other Hall Of Famers besides Nonito at least not yet depending on how some of those fighter's careers pan out or what he does in the future.

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

It’s incredibly strong. One of the best amongst active fighters.

[IronDanHamza]

Top resume, shame he missed those big names at the lower weights by no fault of his own.

Overrated resume by his fanboys, but that's part and parcel with fans especially when they're new to the sport.

But overall, very good resume. He's HOF caliber if he retired today.

[hugh grant]

I admire how Inoue steps up weight and goes straight for title holders. Usyk don't even do that.
That's why Inoue is no1 pfp now. Some say he is on cusp of being best Asian fighter ever? Maybe not quite yet

[Elheath]

Undeniably the best Japanese boxer ever in history already by far.
Probably the best Asian bantamweight and below ever, and feather determined on what he does before retiring.
Easily HOF today, but next four years will determine approximately where on the top-whatever ranking in the history of boxing level conversation he can slide in to.

Pacquiao is such a unique type who I don't really consider a former bantam and below fighter given his flyweight was such an anomaly, and more so a 122-147 guy from his 20s and on.

I agree he is easily Hall of Famer and in the future after he is retired, it be better to revise what he has done after he has done everything he wanted or was able to do.

Normally I say that stating that Inoue is better than certain great fighters at a certain division would be a disservice to them, since they stuck to a certain division and accomplished more there while Inoue accomplishments is mix of wins in different divisions. Though if a fighter had only achieved what he has done at a single division, specially at either 118 or 122, he automatically be a Hall of Famer.

Can't really say I am that informed on professional boxers in Asia however.

At Super Flyweight, there is a boxer from Thailand, Khaosai Galaxy had a undefeated record of 49 wins (41 KOs) while defending his belt in 19 defenses. Other than being a Hall of Famer, not sure who he beat.

Fighting Harada has accumulated two marquee wins against Eder Jofre X2 an All Time Great who is considered to be the greatest bantamweight boxer of all time. So perhaps he has an argument to be considered the best bantamweight champion.

Harada also got robbed against Hall Of Famer Johnny Famechon at featherweight on the Japanese's own hometown. Which at the time, he had immediately moved up a division. (Which was 8 pounds considering the super bantamweight division was created a few years later.)

[QueensburyRules]

- - Operating at 100+% of his potential, but needs to call it a day soon. Nothing really left for him other than tragic losses as he ages.

[The Big Dunn]

Excellent resume. One of the best in the world. If he retired today imo he’s a HOFer.

[Inoue Body Shot]

I have Naoya Inoue as the Pound for Pound King!

[IronDanHamza]

Excellent resume. One of the best in the world. If he retired today imo he’s a HOFer.

I don’t think that’s debatable.

If you achieved P4P #1 status at any point in your career you’re going in the HOF. Let alone someone who’s won lineal/undisputed titles in multiple weight classes.

Inoue is a special fighter. I would have paid an arm and a leg to see him vs a 2011 Nonito Donaire at 118.
