    All he can do is keep fighting the best out there. He's not going to get challenged until he keeps moving up in weight but he has no obligation to move up since he's already in his 5th weight class.

    Also, the context of this being his 4th fight in a calendar year has to be considered. No one ever looks good having that many fights in that space of time at the top level. 4 training camps back to back in a 12 month period isn't a good idea.
    so Terence?

    now that TBud is gone Naoya is the only guy capable of outboxing boxers AND out slugging brawlers

    this is a rare feature found in the SELECT of the SELECT:
    Sugar Robinson
    Sugar Leonard
    Pretty Boy Floyd
    TBud
    Naoya

        Crawford is in a similar boat.

        Inoue's a great fighter, I'm not knocking him. I think he'll have to keep moving up to be challenged.

          4 training camps is insane..
          Inoue said he was tired, and needs a rest. He does that for legacy and to please the fans. But I think many of us take that for granted.

            maybe only 2 or 3 fights next year then

            Naoya said Junto and Jesse next

            that would be two real iggas in ONE YEAR

            May 3rd Junto at Tokyo Dome

            Dec 26th Jesse in Riyadh

              Busy Jesse next year 3 bouts

              one at 118 to gradually move up. Maybe Naoya’s brother to practice for the style

              122 to acclimate himself at Naoya weight. Subaru Murata?

              then Naoya himself in December

                Junto gets killed.

                I don't know how the Bam fight will work weight wise but if they can work if out then that's a fight for the ages.

                  you see Junto opening up more than Murodjon and Neuroscience Dave?

                    Nakatani has leaky defense whether he's throwing or not. It's just a matter of time.
