In 30 career fights his opponents have won a combined 33 major (top WBA, WBC, WBO, IBF, Ring) world title belts.

Marco Antonio Barrera said if Inoue was in his era with Morales and Pacman, he would've been hell for all of them.

He said it was a good thing Inoue wasn't in his era. His speed and Power really impresses Barrera. He goes hard from the beginning to end, which makes him so difficult to deal with.


Anywasy, would've loved to see it.

Pretty great run, he takes on all upcomers in their prime unlike modern champions, not his fault that there isn't generational talents in his division outside of Nonito Donaire who he beat twice though of course his first fight is a bigger defining win due to Inoue stepping up in level against a fresher though fading version of the Filipino Flash. Whereas in the rematch his physique acclimated better in the division against a 40 year old version of Donaire.

(Was optional if he was to fight at Super Flyweight, but don't think it's fair to say Rungvisai, Estrada and Gonzalez were ducking just becThinkthey wanted to stick in the same division and fight against other top fighters. Inoue also had about few fights at that point, he wasn't particularly a star yet.)


Think his wins Emmanuel Rodriguez, Luis Nery, Marlon Tapales and Stephen Fulton are his best so far outside of Donaire. But not sure who I can compare them to, they have good records but aren't exactly Hall Of Famers. Perhaps Fulton is?? Not sure, he won a belt in his second division, but difficult to gauge if he beat the same version of Figueroa or if that fighter was too inactive too avoid further damage due to his unlike his brother Omar.

Nonetheless 23 title fights against a large quantity of champions is of unheard of.

famicommander Has it been mentioned yet if Inoue will face Goodman before moving up? Or is he gonna punish Goodman for all of the postponements?

Let's see if Fulton can defeat Foster.
