Heaviest champion you'd favor Naoya to beat today

He`d have to punch up at Fury`s body, adding power.

 

We haven't even seen Inoue at 122lbs, yet some posters insist he could stop Stevenson at 130lbs.

While I'd certainly favor Inuoe, I'm not even entirely certain he'd beat Fulton much less Stevenson.

 

Unless Fulton brings something next level to the table, it's gonna be a demolition. You'll see.

 

Maybe.

I see a competitive fight, but if it isn't and Inoue starches the kid, I won't have any quarrel with admitting the Japanese standout exceeded my expectations.

 

I’m confident in Inoue’s chances with MJ, Fulton, and Figueroa. The Monster is a generational talent. But that still remains to be seen, especially after that performance that MJ showed last night. If he beats those 3, and still continues to move up to beat Magsayo and Navarrette then there is no doubt that he’s one of the very best of this era.

 

Fulton is slick, but he's not a master slickster. Figueroa and Roman got to him fairly easily. Inoue is a master boxer with excellent stalking/ring cutting ability. Every time Fulton tries to pivot away, his liver's gonna take punishment.

 

When I was studying at Claremont, I was trying to improve my appetite. I asked Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi how to do this. He told me things-secret things-to get to a state of concentration on food that would allow me to eat with gusto until I was so damn fat that I could not get up without help. But I was there. I was who I always had wanted to be. I was the heaviest I could be without dying. But what I realised when this happened, when it finally happened, is that now I was not more formidable against smaller fighters, but simply more vulnerable. A tiny, tiny human being could now pick away at me with power punches and I could never counter because of the immobile limitations upon my person. Inoue could now destroy me. Not without breaking a sweat, but definitely without being even nearly as skilled as he thinks he is. That's just an anecdote.

 

Damn, Bonesly. You're like my Uncle Roger.

 

Inoue going up would struggle to make 130 when Shakur has to cutdown to 130 then rehydrates 10lbs atleast. ( Shakur looked huge against Valdez for example)
Saying Inoue could move up to 130 and knockout Shakur isike saying Canelo could move up to 175 and knockout Bivol.

 

I reckon he could beat Andy Ruiz Jr. from the Joshua rematch.
Dance like a butterfly, sting like a bee.

 

Chances but not cocksure about it. Russell has no shot though.

 

Russell Jr healthy I would make a favorite over him hands down.

 

Big if though right? Inoue's right hand is the equalizer
