I hope it gets made and fights in the lower divisions often do get made, so I'm optimistic. Thing is, Inoue is still very inexperienced and Gonzalez is easily the better boxer. Maybe give Inoue 3 more top flight fights.
I think highly of Inoue and I'll be rooting for him if this fight happens, but I would like to see him have a few more fights before fighting Gonzalez.
The earliest this fight should happen, imo, is sometime in 2017. Luckily they still have a few names to keep them busy before eventually fighting each other. Inoue needs to keep busy now that he's back. Fight once this year and hopefully he'll be able to fight three times next year (Japanese fighters don't usually fight more than twice a year, but he should).
He needs the experience. He only has less than 10 fights. Also, needs to get some rounds in. Getting in there with good opponents before fighting Gonzalez will only help.
