    Great video Rummy. Inoue is one badass little lesbian.:sisi1

    He is P4P Top 5 in my opinion, haven't updated my P4P ratings lately, he may very well be 1 to 3. Great recap of his matches, rundown of his skillset, and spot on assessment of him across the board. He's going to be a dominant monster for many years to come, because like you said, the scary thing is, he's still improving with every performance, he continually learns from every match and can only get better from here. As far as the pronunciations, pretty damn good. And thank you for the credit.:D And if any one has any quibbles, blame me.

    By his career's end he may have become the only boxer to achieve the holy trinity of being the P4P best male, female and transgender....

    Looks like a member of BTS, but once he unleashes he becomes a member of the Yakuza. :D
    One of the top 5 elite fighters right now IMO.

    Could always call him the monster if you're struggling to pronounce his name.

    Good video though, he is easily top 5 for me, I haven't sat down and thought about it but I could see him being p4p 1. He ran through his last 3 opponents, 3 KOs in a total of 4 rounds.

    Whenever I see this hard hitting fighter I always think about Edwin Velero who hit that hard.
    However, Inoue is not the best boxer today. He's probably the biggest puncher.

    The problem with the super low weights is there are no reference points, no elite fighters there to draw the comparison from. He beat this guy who beat this guy etc.

    In fact the first one we can really draw comparison from is his fight with Donaire because then we can say we’ll donaire faired this way against darchinyan and frampton and Rigo and Rigo did this well against Loma etc.

    It’s the same thing with chocolatito, Guy was dominant but who was he dominating? I’d have to see these guys come up to BW and FW as that’s when it really gets tough and more measurable.

    I love watching that little dude as much as anyone, but his resume needs some more building before he hits my top 5. His resume at 115 is not great and so far at 118, he has yet to face a top guy. Rodriquez is pretty good, but not a special fighter. Payano is solid, but not great. He needs some elite wins for me.

    Inoue, Lomachenko and Usyk are the top 3 in no particular order.
