Is Inoue’s success due to him or his opposition?

I sure have I said he needed to step up years ago. Where have you been? Garcia and Cruz were nice and so is Martin but he needs to fight Shakur and loma.

 

I still dont think much of Garcia. Cruz was a last minute replacement Gervonta didnt know how good he was if he did he wouldnt take the fight ,when asked about a rematch Gervonta said Hell No. With that said Martin is a step in the right way. Hopefully he continues that way and fights Loma and Shakur,. Zepeda,Cruz,Teo,Matias would be nice too.

 

Would you fancy a fight between Loma and Inoue at 130? Would there be any issues for either man making weight? Who would you favor?

 

50/50

 

Garcia and Pitbull are excellent wins. Barrios is also looking to be an excellent win. He also beat Pedrazas ass who was undefeated and everyone was picking Pedraza (except me). Tanks resume is underrated. I agree he needs that “big” fight like Teo, but he don’t get enough credit on here.

 

Inoue has fought Fulton, Tapales and Nery. He's going to be fighting Goodman next, then MJ.

That is the entire top 5 at 122.

Tell me another fighter who dares to fight the top 5 fighters in their division in the span of 5 fights.

Inoue is an old school warrior and he's fighting the best available opponents. Nobody in boxing does this. Boxing fans are spoiled by Inoue.

 

Held multiple World Titles in 4 weight classes and unified 2 weight classes yet you ask if it is due to poor opposition.

The best fishing I have seen on a forum for a long time.

 

None of his opponents were considered in the top 20 best in the world.

 

I don't know if he can be considered "big" in any sense of the word. Unless those Japanese round card girls were 6' tall they sure were head and shoulders taller than he was. His listed height is 5'5" but he looks an inch or so shorter.

 

No they were only top 20 IN HIS WEIGHT CLASS you idiot. Top 20 in the world includes heavyweights, Cruisers, middleweights etc.
You want him to fight Terence Crawford FFS.

Log of and do us an you a favor.

 

Fulton was considered top 20 at the time. I think DAZN had him #9

 

Yeah the lad's nicked himself 10 titles, 8 by KO, beaten the best many times over and the key fighters are asking if his opponents are good enough. Mad innit

 

he looked a bigger man than nery, imo. wider hips and shoulders. i would bet thicker wrists as well. and nery is struggling to make this weight as well, so he is not a small 122. i think inoue can peak at 122, possibly even 126. he has the size for it, he just needs to let his body settle in to these weights. his reactions and timing will become smoother as muscle memory adjusts to the new mass and movement becomes more natural. the difference is barely perceptible, but it's the difference between peak, and almost at his best.

 

He shouldn't go to 130. Those guys are much bigger and as we know they are dehydrating down from maybe 155.

 

yeah, those guys have much bigger natural frames. their rangefinder jab has the weight and rigidity of a power jab at 122. these guys will diminish you with less effort. and they are big enough to absorb a lot of what would normally break a guy at 122.
