    I think that Fulton gets all the way up in his ass.

    He isn't that big so he probably hits the wall at 126.

    Inoue has an aura of invincibility to the boxing community that i simply can't buy into. Based on the eye test is very good, but he isn't flawless, he isn't a borderline superhuman, and he isn't unhittable.

    If Inoue keeps taking on top challenges and actually moves up someone is eventually going to upset him. It always happens.

    I fear 126 will be what 135 is to Loma for him.

    Loma is a monster at 126.

    Inoue is a monster at 118.

    But there are limits, because of basic physics. Since I think Inoue is truly special he could pull off 130, but. He is already 29 years old and is at 118. I believe he has the skills but I don't think he has the longevity to pull 130 off. He'll fall short of time.

    That is how you be great though. Like Pac did, like Canelo and Lomachenko and Usyk do. I hope Inoue will follow in their footsteps and will actually challenge himself to a great deal instead of lingering too long in weight for a unified-champion title.

    So he's not that good, but will only lose when the size becomes too much to overcome?

    :lol:

    It would be a good fight no doubt. He has an excellent jab good speed and reflexes. Inoue has never really fought a guy like Fulton before.

    Who has Fulton fought that even remotely compares to Inoue in talent, skills, speed, and power?

    General public views Inoue as a puncher that relies on his power. I even read some dumbasses' comments like 'Inoue is a bantamweight Wilder' which is ridiculous.

    The monster unlike most punchers like Wilder KOs people with both head and bodyshots

    Has good and underrated defence. He rarely had to use it in the lower weights, he has had enough power to steamroll his opponents but as he moves up (he already said he would in his next fight unless a unification is available) he will use it more often

    As we saw in the first Donaire fight, his chin and heart are on par with his punching power

    I see him becoming champion in a a couple more weight divisions. Call me crazy but I can see him move up and KO/beat up an older Lomachenko at catchweight

    Too bad he never fought the very best of 115 - Chocolatito, Estrada and Sor Rungvisiao

    I know 135 is pretty far but I do see Inoue starching hypejob Tank Davis.

    lol! Loma would toy with Inoue, no fighter Inoue`s size would stand a chance v Loma, plus all the lightweights Loma beat would beat Inoue too.
