    Could Inoue be better than Ricardo Lopez?

    Do you think Inoue could be considered better than Ricardo Lopez one day? I think beating Casimero and Nery would be a good start.

    He's on the path to be. I think one more division up getting cleaned out does it.

      I'd argue Inoue is already better.

      Inoue's a 3 weight champion, and won the WBSS.

      Donaire is better than anyone Lopez fought.

        I think he could but that is something each fight fan decides for himself. Lopez was a very great fighter and Inoue seems to be another great fighter so far.

          Well more people will pay attention to Inoue career especially with the Internet and him joining Top Rank and will be on ESPN. Guys like El Finito and even Mark Too Sharp Johnson careers kinda flew under the Radar through the 80's and 90's despite them dominating those Smaller Divisions

          I will give Inoue the edge offensively over Finito but I think Finito was the better and more skilled boxer overall. Way better Defense than Inoue for sure! If Inoue doesn't tighten up his Defense then Oubaali, Casamiro...hell maybe even Jason Moloney coming up might clip him with something he won't be able to recover from. A younger Donaire would've stopped him in their fight IMO!

          Inoue is explosive and exciting, if he tighten up that Defense he is going to be very hard to beat

              Unlikely.

              Lopez is as skilled of a fighter as has ever lived.

                Finito was too good.

                  In terms of accomplishments, I think Inoue edge Lopez by winning in multiple weight divisions.

                  Both has skills. I like both. Lopez has smooth flowing offense/defence. Inoue has some violence in it.

                    Thank you.

                    To compare Inoue to Finito is BS and disrespectful to Lopez.

                    Fucc this internet age.
