Why did Inoue SKIP 112? Why has he not fought same level of comp as Gallo/Choco...

    He was waiting for the Roman(who was p4p #1 at the time) fight. Roman then lost twice to SSR so Inoue moved up. Everybody thought Roman was finished but in hindsight SSR’s brute style is just a bad matchup for him. Inoue moved up to perform in a tournament that was suppose to unify all the belts at 118.

    Side note: There has been much hype about the new “Four Kings” at LW but the real Four kings are at SFW they all fought each other to razor close decisions except for SSR vs Gonzalez 2 and probably are all gonna fight each other once more.

    All three men have a higher Ko percentage than Donaire too.

    Inoue hasn't fought a puncher at 115 or 118. Except an old Donayri.

    I am not saying they beat Inoue but they have a punchers chance indeed or do some physical damage to inoue.

    All three guys want nothing to do with Inoue. They don't talk about him. They don't mention him. They don't really call him out.

    If they want greatness, Inoue is just 3 pounds north.

    BTW, Inoue hasn't faced a KO artist, but the guys he has crushed are much bigger than the Superflies, so he's faced bigger punchers than all three. Payano, Donaire, Moloney, McDonnell, and Rodriguez all hit harder.

    Inoue is metrosexual samurai. He is boy band ninja. He is androgynous Takeshi Kitano taking on the Yakuza on his Jack Jones. Chocolate Tito, Estrada and co ain't got nothing in their guns to deal with what he brings to the table. They all get put to sleep on the same night.

    He was supposed to fight Chocolatito. Then Srisaket Sor Rungvisai happened. Twice. So he moved on because he was starting to have trouble making weight.

    That's it; that's the reason why. I know, I know, no real juicy gossip with this one. Just a straightforward story of the fight he was waiting for falling through and being unable to make weight.

    Everyone at 115 who wants a fight can move up 3 pounds. Both Gonzalez and Estrada comes in at around 126 on fight night. They can easily move to 118.

    Has anyone of them called out Inoue? Nope. They kept his name out of their mouths because they know they'd all get smashed.

    Donaire hasn't fought at 115 in over a decade you jackass. Of course they'd probably beat him, since he'd be emaciated, but that's the only weight they'd have a chance against him at. But you never said that in your opening post now did you goalpost mover? That being said, Donaire made 118 comfortably, So who knows. As far as today's Donaire goes... he was coming off of badly hurting Frampton several times up at Featherweight and made it to the finals of the WBSS, you idiot. He clearly isn't a spent force yet. Gallo and Roman would never make it to 122, because they would be massacred at 118. 126 is completely out of the question. Boxing isn't for you is it? Stylistically, Naoya would dominated everyone of them. That's quite apparent to anyone who has even a vague understanding of the sport..

    Four kings? They ain't king of nothing until they fight each other. That's what made Hagler, Leonard, Hearns, and Duran noble. You're right that those little princes down at super flyweight are ten times the men that those lightweights will ever be.

    He's the only one of them who could take Inoue's punch or give it back. Rungvisai is a little brute. He's the Rocky Marciano or Super Flyweight.

    ****, that would be nasty. Dropping three divisions and picking up a title at 38. But he might be able to if that ain't bull**** about him getting to 116. He is an oversized monster at that weight. He's four inches taller with four inches more reach than Chocolatito. He was going tit for tat with Inoue and would just rag doll Estrada and Chocolatito if he weren't completely drained. He'd probably rehydrate back up to lightweight.
