I think Inoue looks beatable at 122 and above.

    That's not holding bud to same standards then. Bud should have moved up 5 years ago then. And not hung around at WW so long

      What I have noticed in recent years is Inoue carrying lesser opponents for a few rounds more than the really dangerous ones.

        What I’ve noticed throughout his whole campaign is that he doesn’t take the lesser guys as serious

        If you look at his physique during the Fulton weigh in he came in incredible shape looking like the terminator

        fast forward to his fights with tapales and doheny

        tapales looked more cut up and in better shape than inoue…

        Inoue body looked kind of soft during the doheny weigh in too…

        if you look at Crawford he never comes in softer for different opponents

        he always comes in tremendous shape like inoue was for the Fulton fight

          - - Needed the Spence payday as his whole career has cost Arum a fortune in promoting him.

          Inoue should mop up 122 and retire. Division hopping way overrated and eventually Arum will figure out a way to sacrifice him.

            Do you think Inoue could meet his own Buster Douglas one day?

              I think Nakatani can beat him at 122.

                As good as he is he looks like he's taking a few punches to me .

                  I have a hard time counting the number of rounds he lost when I watched him. There's on clear one against Nery and the rest he clearly wins or he wins comfortably.
                  Point of fact, Inoue has scored more 10-8 rounds vs his opponents than his opponents have won rounds at all against him.

                    I disagree.

                    Monster's been knocked down multiple times.

                    Bud's beaten everybody convincingly.

                    He's never had a controversial decision & never been knocked down.

                      He was the one that was not trying to engage because that right hand was landing on him no excuses

                      but he is an old man and has fought everyone put in front of him and has never ducked anybody just like the younger inoue

                      so I agree that bud deserves some slack because he fighting Father Time to
                      That's not true at all.

                      Bud controlled the hell out of that fight.

                      It was an 8-4/9-3 fight easy.

                      Madrimov just did better than people thought because they didn't know him.
