If Inoue beats Estrada at 118 After Butler, Would your Opinion of Inoue Improve Significantly?

Estrada doesn't beat Jason Moloney, Jamie McDonnell, Nonito Donaire, or Emmanuel Rodriguez, so those four are better wins, just not in name value owing to Estrada being P4P rated. He doesn't even beat Butler.

In my poll, 28 people picked Inoue by KO, 3 by decision, and a single brave individual picked Estrada by decision.

So aside from name value, the reality is that Estrada would be an easy ass fight for Inoue.

 

We're not gonna see eye to eye on this, so i'll make this my last post on this subject, no offense to you but i feel we're going round in circles.

As @Serge pointed out Estrada is ranked P4P #10, he has a better resume than all those fighters you mentioned. And Inoue would get far more credit for a convincing win over Estrada, than the likes of McDonnell, Moloney, etc.

I personally don't see how a dominant win over a P4P ranked fighter, and one of the biggest names in lower weightclasses in Estrada. Wouldn't be a better win and a more recognized win than the fighters you mentioned.

Overall i don't agree with you which is fine as you see it differently to me, but for me Estrada would be Inoue's best win of his career, based on the status of Estrada and how highly hes recognized.

 

Estrada is a Mexican. Inoue been fighting Ricans, Flips and umm Aussie and UKians where by they are not the toughest or the best in these division.Traditionally it has always beens a Mexican realm.But Estrada to me is not in the same mold as Mexican greats. Tough, durable and strong etc.He seems chinny.Although in saying that he hasn't been stopped in as many contest. So it could be that he needs this kind of fight to bring the best out of him and what was the reason Inoue hasn't fought Estrada at 115?

 

But you are ignoring the fact that Estrada got busted up and almost lost to a no name tune-up and almost drew with an old and smaller fighter who said he's one or two more fights from retirement. That's like Jermell Charlo beating Pac after the Thurman fight who was ranked higher than Estrada on the P4P list. Would it elevate Charlo significantly? Not in the least.

Inoue's bigger, way more powerful, faster, and younger than Estrada and one weight above.

I was hoping logic would prevail, but I guess not.
