    Love me some Inoue. Feel like the sky is the limit for his talent just wish he would fight more often. Don't want to see him turn into a 1 or 2 fight a year guy at this stage. He is well on his way to ATGness. Want to see how far he can take it

    No such thing as the perfect fighter. His head movement and defence could do with some work, he's able to take the shots so far at his current weight but as he moves up in weight he'll be fighting bigger men and bigger punchers, so simply relying on his iron chin and his power putting everyone into survival mode isn't going to work. We saw vs Donaire that perhaps naturally bigger opponent can handle his power better and keep coming and give him a tough fight, while his offence is formidable offence alone isn't enough.

    I'd like to see him vs an elite slick boxer to see how he copes, Golovkin looked like he could walk down everyone until Canelo. Also how does he deal with someone who's rough and physical like how Salido beat Lomachenko, can he adapt and switch things up on the fly when required, he hasn't shown that he can as he's so far usually been in control.

    Inoue has achieved a lot so far but he has a lot more to prove if he's to be ranked among the best ever, I for one am excited to see how far he can go.

    > Best offense ever

    In the words of Mike Tyson, "Ludicrous."

    Inoue becoming the new stupidly overrated fan favorite. Let’s see how that offense looks against non tomato cans.

    You clearly know nothing about his opposition if you think Inoue has only faced cans...

    Hang on weren’t you just questioning Crawfords resume? Crawfords resume is Sugar Ray Robinson level compared to Inoue lol.

    Inoue's defense is quite good. He slips and rolls a ton of shots. He gets hit no more than Crawford, Clenelo, Lomachenko, or anyone else you care to mention. There hasn't been a fight where he's been lit up. Before you mention Donaire, yes, he landed 2 nuclear bombs, but that's 2 eye-catching shots in 12 rounds. Inoue pretty much outboxed him and hurt him the rest of the way while fighting w/ a broken orbital bone.

    At this point, Inoue's defense has not been a liability.

    Inoue is a complete fighter.

    You misunderstood my thread.

    Inoue is A across the board in every category. Sweet Pea does not have power in both hands. Hagler didn't have speed. Duran is close to complete, but he didn't have elite speed. Klitchscko did not have speed.

    Half of his fights have been against champions. Narvaez, Kono, Taguchi, Hernadez and such are excellent. Outside of Postol (who isn't better than Donaire) Crawford has no wins better than them.
