    I think he fights Ahkmadaliev though.

    Show proof he ducked Fulton please. And also the loss to Tapales is irrelevant, he's been the best fight available for ages now.

    Fulton was available why not unify? He picked Tapales so he can safely get into the Inoue sweepstakes.. but lost lmao.

    And how is a loss not relevant? Lmao
    He lost to the one Inoue dismantled, makes no sense fighting him after that.

    Hearns really did a good job, people actually think Inoue is avoiding Ahkmadaliev.. whats next, He's avoiding casimero?

    Tapales was the IBF mandatory.

    I asked you to prove he ducked him.

    It's not relevant because he's a mandatory and the best available opponent.

    What's hext is whoever is the best available opponent.

    Man, Inoue must be frustrated with all of these pullouts.

    Just call MJ and see if he really wants it.

    But with Arum involved we will probably get a Desmarinas type of fighter instead.

    Why did Inoue ever got involved with Arum I will never know.

    He doesn't need him at all and the only thing he will do is slow down Inoue's career like he did with countless fighters.

    Announcing your next fight on the week of your current fight is never a good idea, it shows Inoue isn't focusing on MJ and that could be a problem.

    It worked well for Bam when he announced an upcoming fight with Fernando Martinez a few days before he got in the ring with Phumele Cafu who he ended up beating easily. Inoue is always focused and won’t be underestimating MJ. He’ll be fine.

    Yeah, I'm definitely still not going to bet against Inoue, but I don't see why they couldn't have waited until after the fight.
