    Inoue is a special fighter and I’m a huge fan. When he starts fighting much bigger guys (like Usyk is doing and Loma has done at LW) we can talk PFP best in boxing. Inoue has beaten top fighters his own size and has carried his power impressively as he’s moved up.

    If Loma can get down to 126 or 130 (he can definitely make 130) I’d like to see an Inoue Loma fight. Loma is older and has lost some of his speed but he’s been facing much bigger guys in recent years. I’d still pick Loma over Inoue at 130 if both guys can make the weight. It’s a big jump for Inoue so it’s probably not going to happen. Inoue beats everyone at 126 and below, probably, as Loma is older and probably can’t make 126.

    No vote for Crawford/Spence because they took too long to fight each other. PFP fighters don’t duck their top opponents for years.

    I'd like to see Loma vs Inoue too, but doubt it will happen since no titles are on the line. If Loma goes back to 130 and wins a title, things look different, though. Even more so if he would manage to do it at 126.

    The only downside is that I’m a fan of both guys. It would be a great boxing match and I would be glued to the TV or travel to see it in person. At the end, I’d celebrate a victory by either guy because they are both great for the sport, true professionals.

    If Bob offered Inoue big money to fight Lomachenko at 130, I think he'd take it. PPV SUPERFIGHT.

    ..its not real.. there is no such thing.. reality is Usyk is the best fighter in boxing.. because it's not based on myth, its probable that hed beat any current boxer. Inoue wouldn't, hes too small.

    This is Inoue's 5th weight and he's been outsized over the past 5 years. Loma jumped just 2 & spent most of his career at LW looking ripped and strong, making the exact weight as his opponents. He's not undersized, he's underskilled if he loses to FW old arse 12 loss swarmers, green young studs & no punch generic athletic boxers. Inoue has blasted the types to smithereens in many more weights and has faced more larger men than Lomo & Usyk combined. To the latter's defense, at least he hasn't lost to the Salido level LOL.

    The suggestion that Inoue has levels to climb just to reach Loma is hilariously delusional by a brainwashed community.

    Judging by the eye test, Loma gave up more size in his recent fights than Inoue has in any fight. If they are able to meet at 130, the size difference will not be as big as Loma-Haney and neither guy has given up as much size as Usyk did in his two fights with AJ.
