      It would be a natural progression if this fighter had settled down at Super Flyweight and was beginning to grow out of the division (or cleaned it out)

      I don't think he even belongs at 115, it just so happens the division is pretty shallow. He could still fight at 108 if he wanted to.

      So many great match ups at 112 for him. I can't see him beating Gonzales though, that guy is relentless

        In many peoples eyes, Inoue just beat the number one guy in the division, what more should he do?

        And I have no problem with him fighting at fly, I just think bantam is better plus it garners him more exposure.

        I agree, I think Gonazalez beats Inoue too, too experienced, too strong and just better but so what? It's a great fight.

          Inoue is relentless too.

            He'll just hover around 115 until Flyweight looks vacant enough for him to snap some titles

            He'd be wayyyy too small for Bantamweight. I don't see why he'd put himself at that much of a disadvantage.

                  Join my Naoya Inoue Group. I created it a while back. It is time that his following should grow.

                      Can someone explain why the weight gaps between the lower divisions are so small in comparison to the higher weights?
