I care less about the P4P thing and more about Inoue going against the low activity trend. He's got a team who are scheduling his fights in advance, rather than these year-long negotiations for fights we see elsewhere.
We need more guys like Inoue across the divisions.👍 3Comment

I don't disagree, but rather than chinny, I think his punch resistance is more like a Bantamweight than his chin being vulnerable, so he more than makes up for it with skill, Athleticism and punching power which translated well.You can have glass jaw and be a pfp guy. God built us differently with different strengths and weakness. It's just if your jaw iscweak, you better disguise it. Whether with great defence or greatoffence
Those who had their moments like Donaire, Nery and Cardenas, have shown to perform sufficiently above Bantamweight. Wouldn't be too surprised if Cardenas had to move up struggling to make weight before having an opportunity to get a title at Super Bantamweight if Inoue decides to move up in late 2026-2027. Even MJ, had his moments of catching Inoue with something despite not being fully committed to the punch with Inoue coming strong in in the 12th round instead of boxing like he was to avoid a counter, even if MJ lost the whole fight.Last edited by Malvado; 12-31-2025, 01:47 PM.Comment

He has beaten a number of champs and top guys in the lower weights.
Your unfamiliarity with the lower weights should move you as a boxing fan to find out more about his resume.
I think his best wins are Stephen Fulton, Naravez, Donaire and Akmadalev ( spelling might be wrong).
He is like 25-0 in title fights.👍 2Comment

Boxing fans are so ungrateful. People were actually accusing Inoue of ducking MJ at one point. He beats him easily and then they're on to complaining about the next opponent.
