Comments Thread For: Angelo Leo looking to land ?The Monster? Naoya Inoue

[famicommander]

If they were actually wanting an Inoue fight, they'd be unifying. Inoue has gone after the #1 guy in the division each time he's moved up. Anyone who actually wants the smoke and the payday should be proving it by seeking undisputed themselves.

Leo knocked out the #1 TBRB-ranked IBF champion and is fighting his inherited mandatory challenger in his next fight. He has not had a chance to unify, and it seems likely both Fulton and Espinoza are moving up to 130 anyway. Fulton is rumored to be getting a crack af O'Shaquie Foster for the WBC 130 strap and Espinoza has said that this upcoming title defense might be the last time he can make 126.

Nick Ball is the only real option for a unification and Inoue has already said he plans to fight Ball in December if he comes through the Cardenas and Akhmadaliev defenses unscathed.

If one of them is going to be undisputed, I'd put my money on giant ass Espinoza. Like Fundora that size advantage is a tough hill to climb.

Brian Mendoza would disagree about this!

When will these fighters learn to stop talking BS things about monster Inoue.

What exactly wrong did he say ???
I like Inoue but can’t see what Leo said that is bullchit
Spoke like a fighter does , nothing wrong with what he said or disrespectful imo

Mendoza was being murderalized before he landed that shot. No one else has been able to do it. So what if he got knocked out once ? That size advantage is still very meaningful in every fight.
