Inoue's next opponent, Paul Butler, is awful

I thought this was just for all the trinkets. Butler obviously isn't in Inoue's ballpark.

 

So Inoue shouldn't officially become the first undisputed bantamweight champion in 50 years because you don't deem Butler to be a worthy opponent? That makes ZERO SENSE. Once again, Inoue KO'd the number 1, 2, and 3 ranked guys in his division. Are you saying he's ducking and avoiding someone by fighting Butler to become undisputed?

Inoue made an offer to fight Casimero (again), Warren, and Russell back in December 2021, so obviously he can't get anyone he wants in the ring with him. He has also expressed that his goal is to fight Fulton and MJ when he goes to 122. Fulton said that he's only focused on MJ and MJ injured his hand in the Rios fight. You're bitching and moaning about nothing, basically.

 

Nonito was being a sensitive pansy ass, for sure. No arguments here. But make no mistake about it — he wasn't ducking Casimero and he would have destroyed Casimero.

 

Absolutely. But some people on here think hes slick and good enough to go rounds. I think he will get slaughtered.

 

I don't know about destroy, i'm sure Casimero would have trained hard & possibly beaten him, more likely.

 

Yeah Butler is average but cant blame Inoue for wanting to be undisputed... he will fight better guys after this (if they dont duck him).

 

Casimero ain't very good. He's sloppy. I think Nonito would have punished him badly and stopped him.

 

Naoya KO2. I think Paul can run enough to survivor a round.

 

It's possible, but I've come to respect and fear the No Hopers.



Sandor Martin and Andy Ruiz both flipped the script in spectacular fashion. Martin shocked Mikey's system and made him quit the sport.

 

It’s not Inoue’s fault that it happens to be Butler who holds the final belt he needs to be undisputed, but yes Butler is a dreadful opponent to be fighting for undisputed.

On a related note, most of Inoue’s resume is poor for someone who’s considered to be in the P4P #1 discussion, but then again it’s not Inoue’s fault that the weight classes he fights in are mostly devoid of serious contenders.

 

Inoue's resume is **** poor anyway, not much he can't do since his divisions really lack talent

 

Butler is a solid little boxer, but operates a little beneath a level that Inoue has already cut a swathe through. He will, of course, be blown away. It's a belt-collecting exercise.

 

Inoue has a great resume. If an unpopular, non-English speaking fighter is being ranked as the #1 or #2 pfp fighter by every major ranking organization, he obviously has a good resume.

Consider this, not only has Inoue beaten his #1,#2 and #3 contenders, he has also beaten two hall of famers and the #1 in multiple divisions.

 

I love Narvaez ive seen all his title fights he was a very good little fighter but theres no way hes getting in the Hall Of Fame.

Donaire is the only HOF fighter Inoue has beat so far.
