I ain't one of those doing that though I do think Naoya is an exceptional fighter and look forward to seeing how far he will go. Dearly hope we do get to see Estrada vs Inoue at some point in the future.
Old Donaire would be a good test.
I like.more a fight of Inoue vs Nery, Estrada is smaller and his right hand is fu.cked , he Lost his power because the múltiple injuries.
I want Estrada to clean out 115 and get a rematch vs Román González , then move up to 118.
But I think Inoue would be fighting in 122 sooner or later. And maybe in 126

If you're comparing two fighters, and one fighter has beaten someone ranked P4P and the other hasn't. Then obviously the guy who has beaten the P4P ranked fighter is going to have a better resume.
I believe what you're intimating with this lop-sided question is that you believe Estrada should be ranked higher on the P4P list than Inoue because he has a better resume.
Fortunately the eye test in this case is far more important that resumes.
Inoue has special qualities that Estrada simply does not possess.
Inoue is a briefcase fighter, Estrada is a lunch pail fighter. Mind you, Estrada does have skills, I'm not taking anything away from Estrada. But his victories are hard earned. They're not easy. He also has 3 losses.
He can't do what Inoue just did to Rodriguez.
Inoue is also 3 years younger and has accomplished more.
Inoue is rightly ranked much higher than Estrada despite the fact that he doesn't have a P4P fighter on his resume.
Eye test> Resume sometimes.

Eye test? My balls
It's all about marketing
Inoue is an Idol of Japan, has like 300 k followers on Instagram
Estrada has like 20 k and nobody knows him in México
Estrada is a better fighter than Inoue
Inoue has more punches but he does not have more skills and he is not proven in a high level
Estrada would school Rodríguez easily.
Inoue has more power, thats the difference
P4P list means sh.it.
Resume is much more inportant.
Because you can look impressive against lesser rivals
GGG was the same case
And with Jacobs and Canelo was too different, right?
Inoue does not deserve to be in a top-5 P4P list because he is not proven in the high level
If Inoue beat a legit p4p fighter in this way, he would be in that select list
By the time, he below of Usyk, Loma, Canelo, GGG, Crawford and Estrada
Is not the same fight with McDonald at fight with Román González or Sor Rungvisai.

Estrada has the much better resumé. In a fight between Estrada and Inoue I’d take Inoue though. Inoue has the frame to go up to 126. Estrada’s max weight will be 118. I think Inoue’s natural size advantage would be too much for Estrada.
And in my opinion Estrada only has 1 loss, which was to Sanchez Jr., and he avenged it. I scored the Gonzalez fight and first Rungvisai fight for Estrada.

He said that he was too green to fight with Gonzalez (he was two division champion at the time).
That he needed 4 fights more.
He was 22 years and múltiple champion
Inoue and González were champions of Teiken of Akihiro Honda .
The negotiations stopped because Honda and Inoue team never wanted that fight
Gonzalez wanted the fight because he knows the fight would make good money in Japan because he was a famous fighter there

Originally posted by Koba-Grozny View PostMan, I think I already gave you my opinion on P4P as a concept (it's nonsense) but you really gonna be calling top ten - or even #1s in the case of a coupla Inoue's opponents - fighters in a division 'tomato cans'? You go down that road when your talking about Inoue and his seven successive opponents who have never been previously KOd you gotta wonder at the genius of his team for managing to know these guys were actually KOs waiting to happen.
Originally posted by Koba-Grozny View PostAnd whilst I don't do P4P and never thought GGG was actually the best fighter in the sport at any given moment what we saw in 2017 was a consensus that the 'can crusher' beat the dude some are now calling P4P #1 so I'm perhaps failing to understand your logic. Are you suggesting that having close fights with other elite fighters precludes one from being an elite fighter oneself?
And btw, very few people are calling Canelo p4p #1 even after he tamed GGG in that first fight and broke his face in the 2nd.

Can you imagine what Inoue would've done to Cuadras? That would be a 1st round massacre. Estrada went 12 rounds with him.
I don't deny that Estrada would've beaten Rodriguez. He probably would have. But that's a 12 round fight. He'll take some shots in that fight as well, a lot of shots.
One guy is pretty, and looks pretty after all of his fights, and the other guy looks like he's been through a car crash everytime.
Not everyone can be special. Some have to work harder than others to achieve half the results. Others it comes naturally.
