I think Inoue looks beatable at 122 and above.

    I think Inoue looks beatable at 122 and above.

    Not necessarily saying there’s anyone out there currently that beats him but he definitely looks a lot more hittable and his power lacks the same x-factor it had at 118 and below.

    His fanboys are gonna cry about this but that’s just how I see it. I think the same thing about Crawford at 154 and above too FTR.

    I agree he isn't looking unbeatable, but I say his athletic ability and boxing skills still translated well moving up, he is a having a terrific run, beating the likes of Doheny, Tapales, Fulton, and Nery, all who were champions at the division. His power is still quite impactful seeing the way he just stopped his opponents like Nery, and Fulton.

    If he were to beat Murodjon Akhmadaliev and Junto Nakatani at 122 he have one of the best runs at Super Bantamweight without taking into account his victories at 108-118.

        Yes, they hit harder and take hits better in the bigger weights but inoue still stopping them. Bud didn't stop his last opponent

          He's 31 and this is his 5th weight class. Of course he's not going to look unbeatable as he continues to age and go up in weight.

          I still think he stops Goodman and Akhmadaliev.

            At 122 he’s faced the top 3 and #6 guy and stopped them all. So…not sure about that. 126, yeah. Guys there are huge compared to him. He’s already noticeably smaller, and Figueroa looked huge against CBS

              Bud is 36 going on 37 & his opponent had a tricky style & wasn't interested in engaging for much of the fight.

                You have to admit, Inoue has beaten his opponents much more convincingly than Bud has.

                  When Inoue doesn't demolish his opponent in less than 5 rounds, casuals say he's beatable.
                  I can't even remember the last time Usyk blasted anyone in less than 5? Crawdad barely won that fight.

                  Doheny has what 20KOs in 24 fights.​ The guy is dangerous in the early rounds. Plus he's a rehydrated welterweight.

                  Respect for the Monster for showing us he got intelligent strategy while dominating.
                  That's going to work for him as he moves up to 126.
                  Forget Tim Bradley expecting him to blast him out in less than 4 rounds.
                  That aint boxing.

                    Maybe Nakatani can get him when he moves up, but aside from that I don't think anyone can hang with him here. 126 would be a different story imo
