That's the way I'd rank them... 5-th is a toss-up between Murata, Yamanaka and Shiro - but I went with guy with most upside.
Higa and Kyoguchi will make real noise soon - well, unless their promoters hold them back which is not out of the question... Particulary Kyoguchi is probably a bit underrated even in Japan as his last fight wasn't televised - but he's excellent.
Tanaka, Kyoguchi, Naoya and Higa are genuine stand-outs, PFP talents - brilliant technicians and fantastic athlethes. I think they present new age among little men - you rarely saw that kind of athlethicism in the past, even among great fighters...

I watch all the boxing I can on Showtime, ESPN, Fox and HBO but they seldom show Japanese boxers. Of the few I have seen I like Inoue the best. He looks like a great boxer on the way up. I really like him. He has lots of hand speed and power in both hands. He is a good finisher and very accurate with his punches.
