If Naoya Inoue will go to featherweight, do you think there will be a Monster Hunter? If yes, who?

Inoue's gotta be P4P the most fearsome puncher right now. Either him or Beterbiev.

TJ, a naturally larger man who's never been stopped in 29 fights. Inoue comes up and literally breaks his back.

The top guys at 126 need to be careful they don't get their backs blown out by the Monster once he moves up.

 

Junto isn’t a threat. It’s an easy fight.
Espinosa is the toughest fight for him, and ball could give him fits if his punch resistance isn’t great at 126.

 

Junto isn't a threat? Stop talking rubbish. You sound like a casual.

 

Junto is like Triple G, straight up and down, no special effects. Easy work for Inoue.

 

Has Bruce Carrington even fought anybody yet? Has he at least fought any former world champions? I see a bunch of trash cans in his resume. And Bruce is at 126, Inoue oppoents are all in 122. So thats a stupid statement.

 

Lol im not even sure Carrington would beat Ramirez, Espinoza, or even Ball right now.

 

That's the point, Inoue is the one moving up a weight class and his accomplishments are beating those smaller guys am i not correct ? Carrington isn't as proven but he's huge and would probably smash all of them as well as Ball, so yeah. Based on Inoues last couple fights I just dont see him dominating 126

 

I would like to see Inoue vs

Emanuel Navarrette the WBO. Super Featherweight Champion (130) is the one that will pose a serious threat to the Monster Inoue. The former said many years ago when he was at 122 that he wanted to fight the latter. However, I'm not sure now that Inoue can make 130 since he once said that 126 is the last division he will go up to.

After seeing Carrington's last fight with Segawa I don't think he's ready for any of the top fighters at 126. He's definitely not a match for Inoue skill wise.

 

My opinion hasn't changed I'm convinced its styles. Segawa had lots of confidence beating Ruben and his jab was the problem along with Shu Shus work rate probably because of the jab. His defense against the actual powerpunches was perfectly fine. Shu Shu does well against pressure fighters, but Espinoza would beat him

 

There's a reason inoue hasn't moved up yet. He is enjoying fighting child sized men that can't take a punch. That's why I respect nick ball, he's physically as small as inoue but at 126 throwing down, taking risks, battling it out in the pocket.

 

Wasn't really too impressed with Carrington's performance but Segawa was a good step up opponent for him. I'd like to see Carrington fight for a title against Angelo Leo to get a better idea of where he's at.

 

Agreed, if he's so good, why's he only 100 pounds? I respect real beefy men like Tyson Fury and Devin Haney.
