    Just dreaming about match ups in the higher divisions.

    130-5 lbs?

    He himselt said that Super bantam is his limit right now. So he will move up after unification fight and that's it.

    But I want him to move up two divisions (feather weight) and fight guys like Gary Russll jr. and Navarrete

    I think at best, he can top out at Feather, and even that might be a stretch.

    i think hes pretty close to ideal weight. i could see nothing in him that i didnt like, this weekend. so i believe, with his talent, he is a serious threat to anyone a division above.

    I think 122 will be his max.

    The Featherweight Division should be the highest division for Inoue to move up in weight. Inoue vs Navarrete at 126 is what I've been waiting for.

    Donaire struggled at 126 big time and he gave Inoue a broken socket. I would say 122 is his max weight.

    He might rule 126 if he wants to. It's a weak division. And most of the top guys are former Super Bantamweights too.

    I'll take him to beat gervonta if he wins a belt at light welter.......

    On a serious note...not much higher...he's still bombing everyone out but soon he won't be hurting people...Nonito is one of the beat I've ever seen for carrying his pop up divisions and shots that he woulda bin one shotting people with at lower weights were barely giving people a wobble...feather is probably a big ask

    He has the physique of a flat chested teen girl, so probably shouldn't go above 122

    Given his stature I'd have to say 122 max. He doesn't have the frame to move up too much.
