Naoya Inoue vs. Alan David Picasso Romero & Junto Nakatani vs. Sebastian Hernandez Reyes RBR.

Do you mean a 220 pound Usyk or the equivalent Usyk shrunk down to 122?

Of course Usyk and GGG would win based on size. If they were the same size, it is not certain, especially GGG, who clearly beat the face of boxing, but is not quite at Inoue's level tbh.

 

These are the same dimwits who say Floyd is the GOAT. Inoue has fought the best in each division, systematically taking out each belt holder until he unifies all belts and becomes undisputed. Floyd found the easiest fights, then negotiated catchweights, judges, commentators etc, so he could powder punch his way to scrape past. He did not unify because he avoided good fighters.

 

It is true that Inoue's compatriots are sh!t scared of him, apart from those with huge balls like Nery for example.

Bam would get a career damaging beat down at the moment, while Inoue clearly beats Nakatani after tonight's performances.

I agree that 122 is already a stretch for Inoue. He wins because he is so far superior. Eventually, however, there will be a weight class where his power won't carry, and he will struggle to keep maulers off him. It could be 126, hopefully not.

Everyone needs to remember that Inoue is cleaning out the entire top echelon of these divisions, not waiting to fight a single easy target. That is the difference between Inoue and Usyk, and the other "p4p" fighters. There is no comparison.

 

Picasso was painting the picture of a bubble, that he was inside and Inoue was outside. Picasso defended the entire fight, which makes it extremely difficult to be knocked out.

 

Since when was Nery Japanese?

 

Watch Nakatani and Bum duck Inoue.
How can you have a better resume when your biggest rivals won't fight you?

 

Nakatani might take it but zero chance Bum Bum does unless he gets an absolutely crazy amount of money. Hilarious how DAZN was talking about that one but completely neglected to mention Ball.

 

Dis or when Inoue will be semi-retired in his 40s, being geriatric is a requisite to be a potential challenger for him

 

I haven't commented on the Inoue fight and unfortunately I missed some of it, but my abiding thoughts from the fight are that it was a very comfortable and composed performance from Inoue, but perhaps lacking the spite and some of the entertainment value we associate with him. I do wonder if Inoue's recent run of opponents have left him a little short of motivation; the last fights we saw a supremely spiteful Inoue were probably the Nery fight (and there was personal needle there), and against Cardenas (who came to Inoue and forced a firefight). I'm not at all worried for Inoue if he goes on to fight Nakatani or Ball in the coming months, as I think Inoue will be highly motivated and we will see the best of him; I just hope he isn't forced into fighting more MJ or Picasso types.

 

Bam is like 115 max! Is this the best opp at moment.There was a time where this lower weight was brimming with atgs.Now it is depleted.Nakatani would be good but he also been feasting on nobodies.But i guess these two are the qty on offer.

 

anybody still think junto beats bam? or are we moving the goal post again even before the fight? but, but, inoue doe....

 

Nakatani knocks out Bam. Hernandez has a completely different style and an elite chin.

When was the last time Bam actually fought an iron-chinned power puncher in his prime?
