    It could be interesting depending on timing and weight.

    I think it would have to be 130 as Loma might make that again but wont go any further down. He may well stay at 135 but he does look undersized at the weight despite being one of the best there.

    Theres better fights for him at 130 as well so we'll see what happens there.

    Inoue himself will take some time to get there ans if they went this route Id inagine TR will want more build to it and Inoue making a star in the US. Hed need to move through 3 more weights and might find his ceiking before that.

    Through those weights there is Vargas, Nery, Stevenson, Warrington before he gets to SFW so lots of big fights to be had. Lets see how he does.

    If we do get it Id imagine Lom will be aging and in the region of 36/37 year old tbh.

    Loma got exposed for having fragile shoulders, Inoue should win if he targets the shoulder. Just like Kovalev got exposed for having weak testicles (he couldnt take the blatant low blows) and Golovkin got exposed for having weak judges ( got robbed twice.)

    The best chance at beating Lomax is by having a significant bulk/size advantage and coming forward and pressuring Lomax. Inoue doesn't have that frame. Lomax would embarrass him i think. Maybe even make him quit on his stool.

    @ 130 or below Inoue might just win this & I would not be surprised.

    I disagree with you that orientals can't have long reach. I am not gonna pretend to know the general stats on that, but I believe every individual is going to be different regardless of race or anything.
    I do agree lomachenko seems like a small 5.7" but he's taller than 5.5". I went back and watched the Rigondeaux fight who is 5.4" and he is at least 2 inches taller than Rigondeaux. Also I'm American so you can't talk to me in centimeters I don't understand them but he is somewhere between 5.6 and 5.7".
    I think your overall point was Lomachenko isn't too big for Inouye though which is my stance exactly. Not only do I believe that Inouye isn't too small I am of the opinion that he will beat Lomachenko personally.

    I respect everyone's opinion and I'm pleasantly surprised that it seems to be equally divided. I personally would have Inouye winning the fight. I just wanted to respond to your comment because I don't think there is anyone who could get Inouye to quit. I'm not sure what in his career would lead you to believe in that outcome but I know that I would love to get a chance at putting some money against that happening.

    Why do you say that? Just curious because Inouye has a longer reach.

    Yeah it may be a problem. If so it's what is probably the reason the fight won't happen. Who do you think would win if they did fight at 126lb though?

    Rigo has longer reach and was never able to get inside or close to Vasyl, Loma's footwork is too good to let a smaller man get inside who has inferior footwork.

    Lomachenko took a ton of body shots from Teofemale. I don't think he could do the same from Inoue. Inoue is the best body puncher in the game. Goes to the ribs w/ speed, explosive power, and pinpoint accuracy.

    All due respect, but this isn't a very reasonable hypothetical. They're worlds apart in terms of size.

    I definitely would have to disagree with considering them "worlds apart in size" Loma won his first belt at 126 and Inouye is talking about moving up to 126 soon apparently. Also there height and reach is similar. That being said I respect your view on it and concede Inouye is a smaller fighter, his body frame is much smaller along with his natural weight being much lighter. All that being said it's a very unlikely match to ever be made it was just a fantasy fight I made up not something I actually expect to see. I still think Inouye would hold his own if they did fight. But what do I know as I've heard somebody I respect and who knows way more than me say a time or two but its actually true when I say it...I don't know **** about boxing
