Can Inoue surpass Ricardo Lopez?

No average long reigning titlist is getting close to Ricardo.

But Inoue is no average long reigning titlist.

Always have to wait for careers to end before things like this.

 

Inoue will easily surpass it. He is a better fighter and his resume will show it.

 

He is in the UK right now. So the legal issues are fabricated.

What is happening is there is these Filipino crabs that are trying to pull Casimero and his career down. They are vloggers in Manila.You know what "crab mentality" is. When one crab tries to go up there's these filthy crabs below clawing to bring it down. It's sad but it's the honest truth.

They are fellow pinoy doing a demolition job or trying to on the career of Casimero. They work for a " Kano" American Sean Gibbons. This is what disgust me the most. Lick his behind etc!! Sad and with great annoyance to see.They doing all this for their boss a "KANO" at a expense of their country man.

 

The path and how they walk it to build their legacy is different.

Lopez built his career by being the undefeated ruler of his weight class over long time of career, wipe the division clean and become 'the man to beat'.

Inoue built his career by winning against big guys of each divisions and build his P4P rank.

The way Inoue took in his career is more common, while Lopez is more unique. Lopez only went up near the end of his carrer with no one came close to him, while Inoue keep chasing for challenges in higher division.

 

For me I always felt like Lopez, should've moved up in weight and challenged himself more. Fantastic fighter and very pleasing on the eye style wise, but not enough risks took for me. No disrespect but how many elite fighters are gonna be fighting at Minimumweight.

 

Is it awkward I think he already has?

 

Lopez was hindered by the division he fought in and his resume so Inoue will probably be considered greater .But he'll never surpass Lopez in skill or ability in my opinion

 

There's a very solid case to be made that Inoue is the most skilled fighter in boxing. He's the most dominant by a wide margin.

In what areas is Lopez better than Inoue?

 

Have you changed your mind?

 

At this point, I think Inoue has definitively surpassed him. It's hard for a 2 division champion who had 90% of their relevant career in one division to surpass a 108 champ who cleared 118/122, basically impossible for a 105/108 champ specifically, if not outright impossible in practice.

 

Inoue has already surpassed Lopez, and by a long shot.

 

Thread is 4 years old.

 

Hurts me to say but he's blown past him
Both are some of my favorite fighters

 

Gigantic fan of Inoue, I had him as #1 p4p over Crawford and Usyk until Crawford beat Canelo. His place in the pantheon is secured................

I question if Inoue will be talked about like Lopez is 30 years after retirement. The fact that Lopez due to his size is still held in the esteem with only a few standout names is a testament to Lopez.

This question should be revisited in 2060
