    That isn’t a “few” those resumes are padded as hell. I’d much rather have less fights with tougher opposition

    He’s a good small fighter but that’s all he’ll be remembered as unless he starts scaling weight classes like Manny and that’s not gonna happen. There’s only 1 PACQUIAO

    Is he going up to WW at some point and be an ATG there? If not, then doubtful.

    He’ll be an ATG though, may end up having the case for best BW ever. At FW, no chance of being considered the best ever there. Too much talent historically in that division.

    Inoue struggled with old Donaire. Enough said.

    Explain to me how is better than Rigondeaux? Rigo at least had the balls to take a risk and fight the 130 lbs Loma. What is Inoue doing?

    WTF? How's he overhyped? He's literally meeting and exceeding expectations.

    Inoue has won titles in more weight classes than Rigondeaux.

    Inoue has the goods and deserves his P4P status. But please let's not go overboard. Give him a few more years and see if he can manage to jump up more weight classes.
    I can see him becoming a dominant force, but GOAT is really pushing it.

    Would be 'enough said' had you added 'while boxing with a broken orbital socket from the 2nd round onwards'. At that point enough would have been said....

    So he was to fight a couple no hoper bums between his title fighters to rank as an ATG?

    Could do with becoming clear p4p number one in his own era first. For example.

    He definitely has the ability to do that.
