    This little Monster from Japan brings bad intentions and destruction upon every division he enters, no matter if he's just moving up, ask Narvaez or McDonnell. You may question his opposition outside of them, Kono and Taguchi, and he may or may not ease past the WBSS at 118. One thing you can't question though: he brought his power up or even improved and still looks quite skinny and growing.

    It's not impossible he'll turn out to be a Pac-like physical freak eating up division after division, my only question is, and I'm excited to know: how far can he go?

    Given several months of weight preparation and a tune-up if that makes your pick more comfortable, who's the biggest, highest weighing world champion he could step in the ring with and you'd give Naoya a chance of knocking out?

    First Inoue should stop fighting Empty Sardine cans then go outside Japan then we will see what he really posses.
    He should fight Tete.

    I think he could knock out Valuev but only if Fury was holding him like a torch....

    Given the chance to bulk, I'd fancy Inoue's chances against Easter Jr. That lanky son of a gun can't seem to use his height and reach too good and Naoya likes them tall fellas, cause longer the body, better the chance to crack those ribs wide open.

    He's a Monster body snatcher who can cut down his man and could easily carry his nuclear bombs with some extra added pounds, he don't even need to be 135, to land the KO shot and win the fight.

    I think he can KO Easter with a punch to the head. I bet Easter has a glass jaw.

    That'd be a dangerous fight for him... but if the power carries, yup, I can see an Inoue stoppage, good call!

    :lol: Poor Pricey, he doesn't stand a chance.

    BTW, Inoue is not shying away from the bigger classes and fights FW contender Genesis Servania in a 3-round exhibition on August 19, in preparation for (the slowly coming together) fall/winter WBSS.

    Wait no, not this Genesis.
