    He’s on his way, that’s for sure. His next 3-4 fights will probably determine it.

    Inoue honestly messes Jofre up. Inoue has done so much in so little time he is already an HOF'er. Most likely will be an ATG when it's all said and done.

    Inoue has a KO ratio close to 90% and has shown brutal fight changing/ending power in both hands and delivered to the head and body. Fighting Harada was touching that body frequently and with impunity. Inoue destroys his organs.

    Exactly. Inoue doesn't need to render you unconscious, he can make you quit by destroying your kidneys and liver.

    Also, Donaire was like 17 pounds heavier than Jofre would be, and McDonnell was 26 pounds heavier than Jofre. Both titlists, both huge guys compared to Jofre, both beaten down and stopped

    Irrefutably the most dominant boxer in the game.

    His body to head work is the best bar none.

    It's absolute frightening that opponents are mainly looking out for his left hook and left hook to body, but then they get flattened by his right hand (Hernandez, Maloney, Nonito).

    No one has a more complete arsenal.

    Who are your Top 10 (in order) at 118 who you'd give the best chance at beating Inoue?

    He hasn’t fought a fighter remotely close to Jofre or Harada though. A near 40 year old Donaire isn’t in their class, sorry.

    1) Carlos Zarate
    2) Ruben Olivares
    3) Eder Jofre
    4) Fighting Harada
    5) Lionel Rose

    Never really researched beyond these 5, but the fights I've watched, I don't see any of them being clear cut more skilled than Inoue, if any.

    Yours?

    Take off your rose-colored glasses. Nonito is competitive with both guys and has a great chance of flattening both.

    Olivares is up there, he definitely has the best chance IMO. Another huge hitter but had been dropped and was susceptible to cuts. Castillo and Rose could pose problems, but again they'd have to fight perfect fights.

    What about Zarate would lead you to believe he is most likely to have the best chance of beating Inoue?

    Are you saying you don't really know a lot about some of the great boxers who've competed at bantamweight? Would that perhaps best explain why you rate Inoue so highly at 118? Not meant as an attack, a genuine inquiry here.

    Maybe you should take off your classes as Donaire was close to 40 and would have no chance at that stage in his career. He’d lost multiple big fights even before this, like Walters, Magdaleno, Frampton years earlier. He wasn’t the Donaire who’d beaten Darchinyan or Montiel any more.

    As a "bantamweight" Inoue weighs 130-135. So you should be asking if he would be an "ATG" if he was fighting Arguello, Boza-Edwards, Chacon, Duran, Chavez. He has never fought as a bantamweight and has only ever been one for the time it took him to get off the scales.
