On behalf of (amongst others) Inoue, Carlos Zarate, Harada, Jofre, Wilfredo Gomez, Barrera & Morales...

Anyone that discredits his greatness just does not really understand his greatness in the ring. That said, I think he is simply too small to be the face of boxing. In USA at least, folks don't really get pumped about the little guys.

Okay, but then who else would it be? I'd argue it's not canelo anymore, at least not to real boxing fans, I cant get into the minds of casual watchers tho.

When Inoue fights in Japan, he fills 60,000 stadiums and overflows the internet.
Now we know he also has the potential to sell at certain U.S. arenas. His influence is huge.

I'll watch Inoue more eagerly than any of the other names who stunk up the rest of last weekend. Those others I watch when nothing else is on. So theres that.
