Is Naoya Inoue The GOAT If He Becomes Undisputed At 122 And 126?

Thats ridiculous. Thats obviously not happening.

 

I think he beats Tapales, which makes him a 2 weight undisputed champ.

I think he sticks around 122 for a couple more fights (Nery/Casimero most likely), and hopefully by then Ramirez will have picked up another belt or two, and then Inoue can go up and fight Ramirez in a mega fight, that could indeed see him enter the ATG discussion

 

I don't disagree, but I do think beating 10 guys while defending a title is a better achievement than defeating the same ten guys in non-title bouts.

 

Manny did unthinkable things. Inoue is not even close.

 

Not many but to me it matters about how good those top 3 guys actually are. I don't see any truly special fighters in any of the divisions sub-135 besides Inoue himself. Comp is just lacking

 

What if Inoue is just so good he makes everyone look useless?

 

>Inoue picks up titles in 5 divisions, 3 division undisputed, 2 division unified, even skipping a division
>Knocks out basically all of them, barely losing any rounds
>Could perhaps enter ATG discussion

Crazy. Nobody has ever dominated like Inoue across four weight divisions, much less five. Going from 108 to 126 dominating and KOing everyone would be a feat we've never seen and probably will not see again for a very long time. Five division domination is way beyond "ATG discussion"

 

It's not easy to become the goat lol. Beating Tapales to become undisputed in 2 weight classes doesn't make him the goat. Even if he becomes undisputed at 126 it doesn't make him the GOAT. He needs to beat Canelo and Pac caliber guys to be considered the GOAT.

 

Inoue's in the middle of his career. Being undisputed in 3 weight divisions will possibly surpass Pac.

 

Damn great post! I'm so awesome.

 

Nobody is stopping this kid at 122 or 126. I think 130 might be his ceiling. If he does become undisputed at 122 and 126 he is in the conversation. Nobody in history has been as dominant as him from 108 to 122.

 

Now you’re reaching and being stupid. He doesn’t need 135 to be considered for GOAT. His domination thru the weight classes has never been seen before. Sorry cupcake.

 

Mayweather literally has 15 wins better than Inoue's best win.

Who in Inoue's resume is better than Ricky Hatton or Marcos Maidana or Shane Mosley? And those are the bottom tier wins for Mayweather.

 

No I think he'd have to do more than that. 126 isn't such a stretch for me at 5'5" he's average height for a featherweight, he'd have to go north and clean out 135 to be even be considered GOAT.

But it's also going to come down to who he beats, he needs big wins over big names and in that department he's lacking and 122, 126 are lacking too. Which means going north of 126, nobody is ranking the likes of Fulton or prospective opponents like Tapales, Ramirez, Wood, Lopez etc alongside the likes of Pac's wins over Barrera, Morales, JMM.

 

No one’s come close to beating him thru four weight classes. Buy a clue and stop sucking on joys stick .
