    Nice work, thanks

    He weighed 131 for his debut at 118 and following that logic he should've grown into that weight during his time spent there so I would assume he's got to have weighed at least 4lbs more up at 122

    That fact that Inoue wants to clear out the division instead of jumping right to the next division is awesome. You hafta love the man's style and attitude.

    Well the Casimero & Nery fights make sense given how long the 2 have talked trash about Inoue + they both have obnoxious fanbases. Both have missed weight egregiously & Nery is a confirmed drug cheat. It would be nice to see both of them get brutally knocked out

    The MJ fight also makes sense because many people had him winning the Tapales fight, so it puts to rest any question of "what if Inoue had to become undisputed vs MJ instead of Tapales"

    I just hope he can get to all 3 next year so that in the 1st half of 2025 we see him at 126

    I really think the key is the time frame. Even the Monster will eventually be knocked out by Father Time and I would love to see him fight these guys while he is at or near his best

    Agreed

    I think he has the potential to be undisputed at 122, 126, & 130 (stretching it) which would put him alongside ODLH & Pacquiao as the only 2 others to win titles in 6 weight classes & the only 1 I believe that would be undisputed at 4 if he achieves it

    I hope he has that as an aim & plans the rest of his career (including fight frequency) with that in mind. He hasn't taken much damage in his fights except the first Donaire fight but he has had persistent injuries to his right hand, a shoulder injury + broken orbital bone so he has to maximize the 5 or so years he has left where he still has his speed, reflexes etc

    Inoue fighting champs as he moves up weight classes. Tanks fighting TBA...

    Why wont Tank fight Bud instead? I'd legit pay $200 for that. The beating and stoppage and subsequent memes would be completely worth it

    The Kanagawa King Monster Inoue will be ready to rock & roll come December against oompa loomp Tapales. He could be undisputed in less than three months. How cool would that be to close out the year?
