    Inoues fights generates ton of money in his homeland

    Chu Chu brings fu fu feck all

    And he isn't in a position where any fight he would be involved in would be deemed a super fight

    Pacquiao didn’t camp out in Manila.

    Japan is a much richer country, Inoue can make bigger paydays in Japan than Manny could make in the Philippines. Inoue is hugely popular in Japan.

    Inoue would get robbed in the USA, just like Pacquiao was robbed against Bradley.

    Why did Mayweather never fight for a world title outside of Las Vegas?

    Carrington demands home advantage to fight a smaller man who has far greater achievements. Why won't he call out someone his own size like Foster?

    Carrington has a lot more to prove before he can be called "a dangerous opponent." Nakatani was a far, far bigger threat than Shu Shu could possibly be, and even Bam would be more dangerous because of how unique his skills and power are. Shu Shu is a fairly standard American stylist boxer-mover type. There isn't anything that Shu Shu doesn't noticeably better than Fulton, for example.

    Shu Shu is 100% a bigger threat than Nakatani. He is a well schooled natural 126 who can punch. Nakatani was at 118 like a year ago.

    Nakatani was clearly bigger - taller with a longer reach - than Inoue, who started at 108 (Light Flyweight). Why do you hate Inoue?

    Your post has zero to do with Bruce Carrington. No surprise that you can't follow an argument.

    As if MJ and Nakatani weren’t big enough threats already. Carrington can try and prove that he’s actually 100% a bigger threat than those guys by fighting Espinoza.

    Make it happen. A potential showdown with Inoue would be even more significant whoever wins between Carrington and Espinoza.

    Im sure you were in full damage control mode when Inoue signed to fight Tapales (bum) and Nery (punch drunk guy who left it at 118).

    Meanwhile, an undefeated champion and an standout is required to jump through hoops in order to be worth of fighting the email pfp king.

    Dude you’re literally making excuses for Carrington not to fight another top fighter in Espinoza.

    Meanwhile the actual P4P king already paid his dues by beating everyone around him including an unbeaten P4P guy and is likely to fight another P4P guy AGAIN. The man is literally jumping through multiple hoops already.

    So please tell me again WHAT has Carrington done to even warrant a fight with Inoue without actually doing anything of note? The least this guy can do is actually EARN his way to a big fight.

    Answer: he’s not jumping up in weight to get a fight with Inoue.
