    His physique transformation reminds me of Marquez during the 4th pac fight. Marquez was a lot older vs Inoue is in his early 30s but he looked like gained a lot of muscle weight since his last fight.

    I never bought it when people were saying it previously but he’s clearly gotten a lot bigger and preparing for 126.

    He moved up to 122 because he could, not because he had to. And he has talked about "settling into" the division a fair bit. It´s intentional muscle gain.
    And honestly, hes not that muscular at all. If he needed roids to gain his current size, then there is something wrong with his genetics.

    To me the transformation of Marquez was without question and his muscle development was very suspect along with his back acne.

    I don’t see the same warning signs for the Little Monster as much as I see a guy training harder and not being worried with adding a pound or two of muscle while worried about weight. I’m going to say he is clean, well as clean as it gets these days.

    Yeah if you compare JMM from the 3rd fight to the 4th he clearly looked much bigger in the 4th fight. He put PAC on his ass twice well (once on his ass, once on his face), something he was unable to do in 3 previous fights. Looked highly suspicious to me.

    If he is taking something, it won´t be for muscle gain. The guys who have been busted recently, majority of them took stuff that helped with recovery and stamina.

    If Inoue had some super steroids that gets him power then he needs to share it with his brother first.

    I have an 8 year old nephew who is physically bigger than Inoue

    If he is on juice he can get away with it since he is fighting almost exclusively out of Japan and is a national treasure

    I remember another fighter with Terrible back acne aged 36

    Maybe just another round of puberty

    I think it's obvious that Inoue has been using some kind of performance enhancing drugs since he moved from 108 to 112 and stopped the never before kayoed Omar Narvaez in two rounds. He's moved up four more weight classes with, essentially no loss of power or speed. Much like Pacquiao he has to be doing something illegal.

    Now, back in the real world, Inoue isn't using anything. He's just a truly all-time great fighter who I am glad came along in my lifetime.

    It can be diet related. A high glycemic diet could be the culprit.

    I think the biggest question about Marquez was that he hired Angel 'Memo' Heredia who I'm lead to believe was Victor Conte's chief assistant at BALCO. 'Memo' also worked with the Jamacian track and field team in the glory era, Usain Bolt, Asafa Powell and co.
