Don't get me wrong, Inoue is P4P material, but this is about size and skills, Navarrete is younger, bigger and P4P on the skill department, he only needs to boost his resume to be on the P4P debate, but he has all the tools. This would be like Loma vs Crawford, the bigger guy would be the favourite. Navarrete just beat Dogboe x2 in 2 masterclasses and he is only improving. I know this is a bold statement and most of you would not accept it but don't understimate El Vaquero he is coming for all
I want to see Roman vs Navarrete. We're not going to see Inoue vs Navarrete realistically any time soon. He just moved to 118 and after he beats Donaire I don't expect him to move up right away. So in the mean time let's get Roman vs Navarrete, I got Roman.
I didn't write that Inoue is hype, I wrote Navarrete is the only one who can stop Inoue hype, I didn't say Inoue is a hype job or something but he gets a lot of attention for guy in his weight class, thats hype, and Navarrete by hypotheticaly beating Inoue stops that hype
It could be a tough fight for Inoue but his timing and power is superb. But Navarette does have a 4 1/2 inch reach advantage. That's big. I'd still take Inoue, though, by KO.
I've bet against Inoue in almost every fight since Narvaez. I'd have to bet against him for this fight but lets see him against Nery first.
English isn't my mother tongue, but I thought the meaning of hype was attention, promotion, people talking about it... Someone like Messi or Federer get a lot of hype, they may be overrated by some but that doesn't mean they are overrated,
Navarrete is a huge 122 pound fighter with good skills and pop. Great fight to make if inoue moves up.
Until we actually see it i can only say that out of the titleholders at 122 navarette is the most dangerous for inoue
