Comments Thread For: Arum: Naoya Inoue Says He Wants To Fight Lomachenko

[j0zef]

Inoue is like 4 divisions lighter. Just no. It's dangerous for him and does nothing for either guy's career. If Inoue wants to be Pac and rise through the divisions over the next 4 years... MAYBE.

Vasigil Bumchenko only fought a top ten opponent at 126 in Orlandoe Salidoe, Bumchenko failed. Gary Russell Jr. was not ranked in the top ten at Featherweight when they fought for the vacant WBO featherweight title, that Salidoe left behind on the scales.

Below are the 130 rankings according to TBRB, when Bumchenko moved up to Super-Feather.

1. Francisco Vargas
2. Orlando Salido
3. Jezreel Corrales

As you can see these former world champions were ranked above Vagasil Bumchekno when Bumchenko moved up to 130. Where is Roman Martinez that Bumchenko beat for his ''Second-World title in his second weight?'' Not even top five!

Nicholas Walters had been out of the ring for almost a year before fighting Bumchekno, and was not ranked at Super-Feather for virtually falling off the map.

I gave you a brief schooling newb! I wont talk to you again until you build your resume on the BoxingScene! SCHOOLS OUT!




I dont believe it, Its too much of a coincidence that rumors have been circulating of Naoya Inoue signing with Toprank if he wins the WBSS and Bumchenko wanting to drop back down to 130.

Where there is smoke, there is fire.

That’s fake news. Martinez was ranked ahead of Salido having beaten him and drawn with him in their prior fights. Salido got a draw with Vargas and didn’t elevate to #1.

Sorry.

Inoue is the goods but he’s too small. He’d beat Davis though.

It’s nice that Top Rank has three of the top four pound for pound with Usyk being the other one and showcasing his talents on DAZN.

That’s fake news. Martinez was ranked ahead of Salido having beaten him and drawn with him in their prior fights. Salido got a draw with Vargas and didn’t elevate to #1.

Sorry.

I think you are on about something else. Here are the 130 pound rankings from June 2016 when Bumchenko fought Rocky Martinez according to TBRB, who love Bumchenko as they have him #1. P4P right now.

Junior Lightweight
Champion: Open
1. Francisco Vargas
2. Orlando Salido
3. Jezreel Corrales
4. Vasyl Lomachenko
5. Takashi Miura
6. Takashi Uchiyama
7. Javier Fortuna
8. Jose Pedraza
9. Roman Martinez
10. Edner Cherry

and here are the rankings for July following Bumchenkos victory:

Junior Lightweight
Champion: Open
1. Francisco Vargas
2. Orlando Salido
3. Jezreel Corrales
4. Vasyl Lomachenko
5. Takashi Miura
6. Takashi Uchiyama
7. Jose Pedraza
8. Jason Sosa
9. Roman Martinez
10. Edner Cherry

Like I said before Rocky Martinez best win is Orlandoe Salidoe, that came after Mickey KO Martinez ; Orlandoe could of got the W vs. Martinez but some belief Bob Arum rigged the scores to protect Bumchenko from having to face Orlandoe again for the WBO Superfeather title.

Bumchenko never beat a top dog at Featherweight 126-130 for championships. He is only now proving his true value at lightweight, by the looks of it after the Luke Campbell, Pedraza, and Linares, we are not seeing anything special.

Hmmmmm.......

[tatot]

Inoue is a great fighter who hits hard and has a good chin but 126 would be his ceiling imo. He would be too small for Loma.

[HitmanTommy]

bump.............

[South Champion]

Inoue vs Shakur Stevenson would make more sense.

[eco1]

I think some people here are just following and believing their own agendas.
Loma already asked for Teo's rematch and said he wants to own all belts at 135. Soooooo, why do you guys keep dreaming in a bizarre world?

[GhostofDempsey]

Inuoe vs. Gary Russell Jr. or Rigo.
