    Inoue by far.

    Stevenson has yet to fight a top opponent, he's been an over-protected weight bully.

    I'm a big proponent for Stevenson, believe he will be one of the stand out fighters of his generation but right now Inoue is far more proven and shown us far more proven ability than Stevenson. So Inoue.

    Shakur needs that break out win. Don't know if he is going to fight Loma, but a win in that fight takes him to the next level and greater respect. That is a tough ask. I still think Loma has enough to beat Shakur at this pint.

    Right now it looks like his next opponent will be Yoshino Shuichiro, and the winner will be mandatory for the WBC.

    Everybody picking Inoue but Shukur is the only one it seems that can't get a fight. Good fighters are straight up refusing to fight. That speaks volumes.

    Inoue would beat the living **** out of Shakur and knock him spark out cold unconscious even though though Shakur is the far bigger and heavier lesbian of the two.

    That's because the guys in the higher weights are backed by major promotional companies (Inoue's co-promoted by Top Rank) and are steeped in a toxic culture of social media, trash talk, and protecting that 0 thanks to the boxing cancer that was/is Floyd.

    To my point, look at Fulton preparing to swerve Inoue. I hope MJ wants the Inoue fight.
