Gonna be hard for him to get respect here due to his weight, but he’s way better than guys like Rigo or Chocolatito (who were once considered top p4p fighters) this is a different level of power and skill
Now let’s see him destroy Tete

Many will disagree but I don't see a great varied skillset. I think he's a bit of a one trick pony.
An aggressive counter-puncher, powerful with a very good left hook. I think if you take that left hook away there's not a great deal else there.
Constantly squared up, his chins too high, he hasn't much of a guard or defense just he's fighting bad opposition who aren't good enough to exploit his lack of defense and even offensive limitations.
He may overachieve with his power and opponent selection but I don't see a p4p skillset.
He's no Lomachenko, Spence, Usyk, Crawford, Gassiev, Rungsivai and so on

He's not close to eithers level and never will be. You're smoking some great **** if you really believe Inoue's better than either

Completely different language, culture, food etc. I think it takes a while to adjust.
