However, he has nothing to offer to Inoue at this point and so just like you, this should be Inoue's last fight in the division. And we really wanted him to fight in the US and not just box in Japan and moving him for him, there will be a lot of competitions because he might be small at 126 lbs, or we will not known if he is really that good if he don't want to go to US and move up in the next weight class.
Inoue's management team should realize that the US market is the place to establish his legacy. If he allows Arum to run the full course of his career, I'm sure he can give him legacy fights. There are great names in the featherweight and the lightweight division; he should move forward just like Pacquiao did. He is being compared to Pacquiao when, in fact, the only future Hall of Famer that he fought and beat is an aging Donaire.
Japan has been great for Inoue's career, but he needs to move forward, and the US is the best place to be.
Exactly, but I think Inoue knows that, and so Bob Arum will have to push him to fight at 126 lbs in the US to cement more of his legacy. Yeah, he had been undisputed, but later on there will be discussions how he could be great if he fights in the US just like Manny did during his prime.
He had beaten a lot of great fighters, but it seems that once he beat them, they are no longer the same. Just like Fulton or Nery for that matter. If Fulton and Nery could make a career then maybe we can judge them later as how Inoue beat them in their prime years via knockout.
