    Roman regularly spars guys who are much bigger than him. It would be a great fight.

          I have no idea what the original intention was for these small divisions

          I think the Jr Flyweight and Super Flyweight should be abolished

          105-112-118

          I have heard before though, that a 3lb difference is huge for these smaller guys. Whilst i'm not sure if this really is the case, I have seen it in a couple of examples. Probably the biggest one I can think of is Kazuto Ioka - a beast at 105/108 but looked totally different (even sluggish) at 112.

                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
                You don't know what you're talking about there is zero chance of Inoue fighting at 108 he looked less than stellar in his last fight at that weight I doubt he ever goes to flyweight.

                He's got a bigger frame than Gonzalez.

                Once the flyweights move up he'll have plenty of options SuperFly isn't that bad a division there are some good potential match ups.

                    Roman and Estrada should be on the horizon for Inoue. Lots of good fighters at 112 moving up

                      I think Inoue deserves it but I wouldn't complain if Crawford won it.
