    Butler is literally Inoue’s 14th best win

    They're all totally interchangeable after Fulton and Donaire. Put a vacant belt on some mediocre guy, give him a top 10 ranking, and pretend that Inoue is cleaning out the division after beating him. Rinse and repeat. None of them ever do anything after Inoue beats them, and it's not because he's ruining them.

    I don't agree that Davis is above Inoue but what i will say i don't think Inoue has beaten a stand out fighter as of yet. Unless you count Donaire who was on the wrong side of 30 and had already suffered multiple losses. If Inoue beat Donaire in 2011 when he was P4P top 10 then that would be different but he didn't....Inoue beat Donaire in 2019 who had already suffered 4 convincing losses and late 30s is ancient for the lighter weights.

    Regarding the eye test Inoue does look special but again as I said for me hes not beaten any stand out fighter.

    I'll give you the Cruz win. That win seems to be aging well. Garcia got popped and came in over weight his next fight out, but the Tank win over him could still look good in the future, if Garcia gets it together. Barrios, I put just below the Inoue opponents you listed. But, I got to admit, you make a compelling argument for Tank.

    Loma, Shakur, Zepeda, Harutyunyan who beat him, Berinchyk, Keyshawn, Muratallla, and Tank... that enough?

    Well, he's a soon-to-be email champ who got beat by a cooked Thurman with messed up hands and barely edged a shot to bits C-tier Ugas so not that great really.

    Wtf has those guys beside Loma and Shakur done for you to be so sure they’re better than him. If Tank fought one of those guys instead of Frank you would put Frank on that list instead.

    Frank is good and a very respectable win but LOL to the people saying he’s an equal or better win than Fulton. No stamina and fell over the first time he got caught

    Well Berinchyk is a titileist at the weight who beat Vaqueroso there's that, Zepeda is a human meat grinder who's beaten ranked contenders and looked sensational each time, Harutyunyan deserved the nod over Frank, and Muratalla and Keyshawn are two of the hottest prospects in the sport and have looked as skilled if not more so than Frank in their fights. I could ask the same question about what Frank has done to be rated so highly.

    No false pretenses, Wahid has fought in 3 divisions now, the second he fights the best guy in any of those divisions, or fully unifies the division, I'll discuss his p4p placement with you.

    Lmao a fat Vaquero who went up a weight division? Foh. Frank was top 5, you wouldn’t be happy if Tank fought anyone and would discredit him. If the Loma fight ever happens and we all know he’s koing Loma, you’re going to cry about how Loma is old. If he beats Shakur you’re going to say Shakur looked terrible in his last fight against Edwin Delosantos

    Barrios went on to beatdown Ugas. I don’t see the Inoue list doing that sort of thing.
