Why did Inoue leave the Superfly division?

He's 5'5" in a division where everyone else is 5'3"-5'4". Everyone knew he was going to bantam someday. Anyway, Inoue is a thick dude for his size too like his brother who is two inches shorter but fights at bantam. He might have stayed if Gonzalez had remained undefeated to set up a superfight, but then Rungvisai knocked Gonzalez out and put the kabosh on that plan.

 

I hear that he simply finds the weight increasingly difficult to make, which is a shame as there are so many great fights to be made at Superfly.

 

Rungvisai - 31 years old
Estrada - 27 years old
Gonzalez - 30 years old
Cuadras - 29 years old

The Superflies became prominent when they were fully grown. Inoue is 24 and a growing boy. Tete and Nery are no joke. They have a greater chance of sparking Inoue out clean than the current superflies.

 

He's cultivating mass bro

 

hes overated and will get exposed at 118 anyway...

 

Scared of Charlo.

 

Gonzalez beat everyone relevant on the way up: Yaegashi, Estrada, Viloria, Sosa, then he started cleaning out superfly with Cuadras and Rungvisai. As for Lomachenko, I guess he could have fought Santa Cruz or Frampton, but the way that they ducked Rigondeaux they wouldn't want any piece of Lomachenko. As it is, there's no one for him to fight at super featherweight and he should move up to fight Garcia and Linares at lightweight. When it comes to Mikey Garcia, his whole career has been a mess. Taking two and a half years off was the worst thing he could have done. He should have fought all kinds of people: basically everyone Terence Crawford fought plus Crawford himself.

 

Gonzalez made a huge mistake moving up in weight. Too much pressure for a fighter to move up all the time.................too many make that mistake............

 

most boxers try to go as high a weight as possible to avoid Wanheng
