Re: Where do you rank Naoya Inoue P4P?
I don't have him in my Top 10 at the moment. He'd be Top 25 or so, but needs a win over either Roman Gonzalez, Donnie Nietes or Sor Rungvisai to crack the Top 10.

anywhere from 7-15 seems reasonable.

I think a win over Gonzalez would put him at or near #1.gilgamesh wrote:I don't have him in my Top 10 at the moment. He'd be Top 25 or so, but needs a win over either Roman Gonzalez, Donnie Nietes or Sor Rungvisai to crack the Top 10.
I'd love to see that fight.

I do not know almost anything about him, unfortunately . Is he really dangerous for Roman Gonzalez, or only an empty hype ?

Re: Where do you rank Naoya Inoue P4P?
Defense can be somewhat lax (his biggest weakness IMO), but overall a very good fighter. Highly explosive, with an impressive mix of speed and power, and some of the best combination punching in the sport. He's the type of ultra-athletic fighter who can throw a triple hook with power on each shot, and he also seems fresh in the late rounds if his fights get that far.
I think he'd have too much firepower for Gonzalez

Are you crazy? I want to see your p4p list. What fighters do you rank above Inoue? Guys currently in the top 10 don't even have that impressive of a resume.gilgamesh wrote:I don't have him in my Top 10 at the moment.

1. Ward
2. Kovalev
3. Gonzalez
4. Crawford
5. Lomachenko
6. Pacquiao
7. Inoue
Inoue could arguably be #7 all the way to #6 if you don't count Pacquiao who is half-retired. Most people that make some joke p4p lists.

Re: Where do you rank Naoya Inoue P4P?
Yeah, that's a horrible list. Lomachenko too high, Golovkin too high, Rungvisai is way too high, Rigondeaux too high, Gonzalez too low, Alvarez is fine, Pacquiao is too low.gilgamesh wrote:1.

Re: Where do you rank Naoya Inoue P4P?
I had him at a perhaps generous #6 - between Golovkin and Mikey Garcia. Haven't seen his latest fight yet but I doubt he could have done anything to change that against the opponent he was in with.
Isn't he moving up again for his next fight? Anyone know any more about it?

Ward shouldn't even be in top 10.
