    There's a chance we're looking at another undefeated career, though I'm not too confident. Naoya has remarked how he wants to challenge himself. Rumours of Akhmadaliev, Nick Ball and Nakatani within the next twelve months is serious business.

    Please specify who you think might beat the Japanese.

    I think Inoue has too much for his SBW division. Not particularly convinced by the fighters in the SFW division either. However, at FW - Espinoza and Ball I think will be good stylistic tests for Inoue at FW so I'd probably give him the best chance of losing in that division against those two fighters.

    Its a long way away from SBW but LW have got some very dangerous fighters in Gervonta, Shakur, Keyshawn, Segura, Noakes, Andy Cruz (Loma will probs retire by then) - if Inoue fancies it.

    Inoue is certainly not getting beaten at 122. 126 is more interesting as there's fighters such as Espinoza, Ball, Leo, and now Fulton as champs. There's also Carrington, Figueroa, Vargas, Ramirez, Kameda, Kholmatov in the mix as well. Quite honestly I don't really see anyone at 126 who can give Inoue a lot of problems other than Rafael Espinoza and perhaps Nick Ball. Bruce Carrington looks like he has some talent but he's been untested against the other top fighters.

    The only guys with legit chances at beating Inoue are Junto, Ball, and Espinoza, in that order of how good of a shot they have of pulling it off. Inoue might get beat off of size and getting old at 130 though.

    Rafael Espinoza would be interesting because I think the scare against Ramirez has only emboldened. Very willful fighter. Admittedly, a couple of body shots might change his mind...or crack a rib.

    Not sure when or where, but it usually happens at some point. if the fighter is active enough and challenging themselves enough.

    There will be no happy ending for the Monster haters out there. This Monster will never be caught, tamed or slayed. He will fell all who have the testicular fortitude to stand before him, then disappear into the ether to become the thing of myths and legends, always spoken of in hushed tones. Leaving millions of psychologically ravaged whining butthurt crybabies in his wake.
