Does anyone else feel like Inoue's career is being wasted?

    Yes he’s not fighting anyone decent and is barley fighting at all. I don’t really get how some think he’s the 2 p4p like he’s not even in my top ten.

    Why? He’s not fought in almost a year so my criticism about him barely fighting is accurate. He hasn’t fought a champions in years Like if he’s so great why doesn’t he try and unify? And he hasn’t fought any fighter that is even close to being a top p4p so he hasn’t fought any great fighters.

    His last two fights were a joke also i dont think its a coincidence that his level of opposition has decreased since he aligned himself with old ass Arum.

    Hopefully he gets back to take on the best starting with the Donaire rematch.

    He fought a few months. Against an unknown teak though Thai, but still.

    Casimero ducked him as did Warren and Russell. He's tried to get fights.

    Love to see him fight 4 or 5 times a year and really put up some numbers. I think his talent is atg level but I doubt we will see that. Can still hope though

    Casimero, Warren, and Russell declined to fight him, so he fought Dipaen.

    He’s on way, don’t see what else he can do.

    Still I got a feeling Donaire will slump him in the rematch.

    What do you mean by "actual champion"? So far as I can tell, he hasn't been THE Champion in any division he's competed in, unless you count The Ring's title and that would only make one, bantamweight.

    Inoue was rated #1 at 115 and 118.

    Inoue is already an ATG. His resume is as good as it can be for someone in the lower weight classes. It's not his fault there aren't any fighters on his level.

    Is he fighting Donaire at 118 or 122?

    I think he’s in trouble if he goes to 126..
