Overall and if you look at the boxers for both Inoue vs. Goodman, even though Goodman is superior to Inoue and from the several fights they have had,

Superior?! how did it happen? I checked Goodman's boxing record, and I don't see any prominent name except Doheny; he has good movement but lacks power for his opponent to have a huge respect, everybody thinks that this is a cherry picked fight, you cannot cherry pick a superior guy I don't know what in area where Godman has advantage over Inoue, can you tell me where?

@YOSHIE here might not be following this division closely since he's saying Goodman is superior, whereas Inoue is actually the undisputed champion, and Goodman is just a mandatory challenger. But maybe he’s got a different basis for his claim, and I'd also like to know more about that.

A detailed analysis is good when you think the other way instead what the majority will think the result will be, The only comparison I can see is Doheny, whom Goodman beat via unanimous decision but Inoue stopped via TKO in round 7 if you study the highlights of the two fights.
Its obvious that Doheny cannot keep up with the power and speed of Inoue, while Doheny shows no respect on his power; its just Doheny is slow and has a hard time catching Goodman

Here are the highlights of the two fighters, I'd like to be corrected with my analysis
Tj Doheny vs Sam Goodman FULL FIGHT HIGH

Naoya Inoue Stays Undisputed vs TJ Doheny | FIGHT HIGHLIGHTS

of course, Goodman can win by an upset, but he cannot be a superior fighter coming into this fight when your record is subpar against your opponent; you cannot be a superior fighter.

Akhma Murodjon seems superior to Doheny and even to Goodman, but because Goodman ranked high and this is a mandatory defense, Inoue has to fight him. This is a very good year for Inoue. Casimero is very likely to defeat Inoue seeing the man just executed his best shots in Japan recently.

If Inoue climbs to 126 after smashing Goodman, I think he is really ducking the two Casimero and Murodjon. He couldn't move up all the way, or he would be beaten by some unknown fighter, all because his weight doesn't make him perform the way he should.

Maybe we can speculate it that way, that Inoue has duck Casimero and Murodjon Akhmadaliev. But that's the thing is boxing, there are a lot of great fighters and this boxers can only fight at certain point. And we can say that Goodman is lucky to have a chance to fight Inoue for his last fight at super bantamweight.

Because if they are going to stay true at their plans, next year, Inoue will be fighting in the US for a new weight class. And then we can only think of what if for Inoue for 3 fighters, including fellow Japanese Junto Nakatani. Inoue is 31 years old so he is about to hit his peak and that is good for him to leave and go to the US and really test against the best of 126 lbs. Brandon Figueroa, Rey Vargas and Angelo Leo will be a mega fight for us boxing fans.
