Inoue will never get the respect he deserves. He cleans out two of the best divisions in boxing and still gets people saying nonsense about his competition level due to fighters cancelling on him and him fighting the best opponent available on short notice. When he beat Narvaez in 2014 it was moving up 2 divisions and beating a guy with a better championship pedigree than BHop, and did it in 2 rounds. That win alone is better than any victory any active champion has. I’m not even an Inoue fan. I’m much more of a Nakatani fan, but denying Inoue’s greatness is just insane.
That Narvaez win is insane, Inoue was 7-0 jumping up 2 weight classes to fight a 43-1 long time reigning champion and annihilated him. Won't get credit from the casuals who don't follow the lower weight classes.
