Show Butler the yen; he's already said he'll go to Japan for the fight.

He will need to show he can do it at the higher weights, but he is on his way

You know life comes full-circles very often in life : Naoya Inoue started the reign of terror at 118 but destroying that English-Bum Jamie McDonnell in 2018 ; it was easy. Here we are 4 years later, and Naoya has only one more belt left to collect, coincidentally it belongs to another English-Bum ; even worse than the last one.

You know, I might go take a great risk with the sportsbook and bet that Naoya knocks-out another Englishman in the first round. petero , suck my balls.

Salute to "The Monster!" Hopefully he gets the chance to become "Undisputed!"

That would be cool but I doubt it. Inoue doesnt have to go anywhere.

IMO fighters in weight classes lower than 122 need to show A LOT to be considered on the P4P list. There just aren’t a lot of men who weigh that little, so the talent field ever since they started the sport is just much smaller.

And btw, I’m not hating on the little guys, I feel the exact same way about the heavyweights (at 200 plus the elite athletes from a young age go into other sports).

This is going to controversial, but we definitely recognize this reality by mostly excluding heavyweights from p4p lists, I don’t see why we don’t recognize it with extremely extremely small weight classes. For a long time, Chocolatito was the consensus #1 and I’m sorry, but “no” IMO.

He's such a dynamic exciting fighter. Imagine the attention he'd get if he was at a higher weight, like at least from lightweight upwards.
