    Navarette is calling out Inoue to fight him at 122. He said that he does not see how Inoue can beat him at that weight class. Is Navarette careless?

    Funny, it's beyond obvious to me. Navarrete is very open to counter hooks on the inside, that's Inoue's specialty. Not only would Inoue spark him out in a round or two, so would Donaire.

    Make it happen, Bob. Heck of a fight. I think Navarette puts a beating on Inoue. Navarette has a chin. Don't think Inoue power will carry up to 122. Donaire's power isn't that devastating at 122 either. But we shall see. Navarette will probably max out at lightweight at the end of his career. Guy is massive for the weight and strong.Big ask for Inoue in my opinion.

    Dude, Inoue is one shotting guys at 118. Fair to say that if he lands on Navarette, he will more than just feel it.
    And Donaire was still a big puncher at 122.

    It´s like saying Manny doesn´t punch hard at 147. Yeah, he might lack the KO´s, but he clearly hurts everyone he fights. The number of knockdowns he has scored is quite something.

    I'd like to see this fight. I think Inoue isn't going to one shot as he moves up in weight. Just like Pac. Even Donaire. The opponents get bigger and stronger as they move up. Reason why there's weight classes.

    I wasn´t implying that he was gonna do so.
    I said his power would carry up and that Navarette wouldn´t just blindly walk through his power.

    Navarrete should call out people his size instead of Bantamweights.

    Yeah, it's going to be that easy. Navarrete is hot garbage.

    C'mon man! Navarette is the World Champ. He's not a bum.

    He's a world champ because he beat a bum twice and has defended his title against a long list of no hopers in a bordering on moribund division. Not only would Inoue absolutely savage this clown, but so would Akhmadaliev and Roman.

    Would MJ do it with the counter hooks strategy, or something else? Coz Akhmadaliev strikes me as an in-and-out fighter. Pacquiao-esque, who likes to use speed and a 1-2, rather than look for short counter-hooks.

    I mean, I think MJ would beat Navarette too, but I reckon he'd adopt a pseudo-Pac/Margarito type strategy.

    Definitely. That's how I saw it in my head when I wrote it.

    Good. Navarette has fought bums. These title defenses of his are just not competitive. Nice to see him calling out a P4P guy. Wether it happens tho will remain to be seen
