I can't believe the media and fans who should know better are so keen, desperate almost to forcefeed this.
The guys resume isn't paper thin its absolute pathetic. Inoue has beaten nobody at all and upto now managed to avoid every top fighter in every division he's been able to boil himself down to.
How does he even rank ahead of Bivol or say Warrington? Who probably aren't even top 20 atm.

I think you need to be educated on what p4p means. Inoue is 3 weight world champ in 17 fights soon to be unified and tournament winner with a 1st ballot hof on his name (donaire) if things go to plan. He also blasted out mcdonell who hadnt lost for like 10 years , solid operators and former world champs like payano and narvaez who had never been stopped were iced in the 1st and 2nd round. Kono and taguchi are also formidable world champions who inoue beat tf out of. If inoue beats rodriguez and donaire he would have 7/8 world champs on his resume already. Thats what makes him p4p

Educated on a fictional list? Good one.
Adrian Broner is a four weight world champion, big deal.
Its a hell of a lot easier weight jumping, targeting weak links and fighting for vacant titles than it is unifying.
Jamie McDonnell undefeated for 10yrs because he wasn't fighting world beaters and was getting hometown decisions. Truly one of the worst world champions in history and to top it he was so severely weight drained from decades of killing himself boiling down to pick on smaller opponents he's had to move up two full divisions.
7-8 world champions because there's to many belts and bums fighting for vacant titles and passing them round. Christ there's like 2-3 belts changing hands every month in these divisions.
Narvaez like he was about 42 or something and over a decade past prime. Donaires shot to bits also beating Donaire in 2019 means very little.
Look who and how they won these titles. Who hasn't beaten Kono?
Kono is not world class he's practically lost everytime he's stepped up and like most of these Japanese fighters he's just part of the domestic scene where they pass around belts for fun. You have all sorts of domestic level fighters winning belts in Japan, gatekeepers.
Neither are truly world class they're nothing but former titlists who won vacant titles against journeymen.
Everyone who follows the lower weight divisions knows how impressive Inoue's resume is for a guy with only 17 fights. The fact that ESPN and Ring Magazine both have Errol Spence above him P4P is ****ing criminal.

You do know that Adrien Hernandez and Omar Narvaez were both #1 at 108 and 115 pounds when Inoue beat them right? It wasn't like he was going after the weakest guys in the division. And the reason why he moved up from 115 without unifying is because the other champions, Roman Gonzalez, Kal Yafai and Jerwin Ancajas all turned down offers to fight him. You obviously don't follow the lower weight classes very closely so you really shouldn't speak on **** you don't know about.

He hasn't even beaten the equivalent to a Chris Algieri nevermind a Kell Brook. Hell, Peterson and Bundu trump any win Inoue has.
