Naoya Inoue vs Rafael Espinoza @ 126

Inoue rehydrated up to 131 for his debut at 118 five and a half years ago and he's bigger now

 

Huge height and reach advantage for sure but if Espinoza rehydrates to 140 which to be fair I have no idea how much he rehydrates but if so in terms of weight it won't be that much if Inoue was coming in 9lbs lighter than that five and a half years ago for his 118 debut

But ''hype job'' Loma who Inoue is almost the same size as and has a 2'' longer reach than despite them campaigning four divisions apart but five when the photo below was taken isn't just routinely giving away tons of reach, height most of the time or a lot sometimes, he's also routinely giving away tons of weight too, like between 2-3 divisions or 4 against Haney. The only time Inoue has ever done that is against McDonnell AFAIA who had 13lbs on him

The guy on the right, past prime at that, vs a Haney who weighed at least 160lb and is a natural big 147 or 154 pounder with a near six inch reach advantage and who is currently considered the reincarnation of SRR and ranked top 10 P4P vs Inoue vs the Mighty McDonnell

I love Inoue. My current #3 fav, and an all time top 10 fav now at the expense of Jose Luis Lopez or McCallum no less. But come on now

 

Good work. I expected it to be about that much. That's an in shape lean 165 too.

So he weighed at least 20lbs more than Loma

I'd say at least 10lbs more than Kambosos and Linares if not a few pounds more

Even more that that against Gamboa and Jojo

And in his first fight at 140 against a big career 140 pounder who really struggles to make 140 he outweighed them by 9 freaking pounds?

Un-freaking-real!

What do I keep saying about these gigantic weight bullies still being a lot bigger than their opponents when then they move up in weight and still bigger or at worse the same size when they move up 2 or 3 divisions if not more?

But *insert name of massive weight bully* is a two or three weight champ tho. Yes by beating up leprechauns they're way bigger than. They have to move up at three divisions before they even start fighting opponents their size FFS

I told everyone that would be the case and lo and behold I was right again

When Loma and Inoue move up, especially Loma, they're fighting bigger or way bigger guys who hold huge physical advantages over them. That's what P4P greatness is and should be about not gigantic weight bullies bashing up leprechauns half their size who they hold huge physical advantages over and every physical advantage at that.

And Haney has been working with disgraced PED guru Vic Conte for years and I'm definitely suspicious he might be taking something he shouldn't be or using methods he shouldn't be to help him get down that low and make weight
