If I’m giving you my take on the matchup in terms of who’s the greater fighter, here’s how I see it: Naoya Inoue vs. Roman “Chocolatito” González — Who’s Greater? Chocolatito has the deeper résumé at the moment: Four-division champion A long run as the P4P #1 Beat elite names across multiple eras Fought in the smallest divisions where longevity is harder Insane activity and consistency at his peak He built greatness the “hard way”: tons of fights, crazy pace, stacked divisions. Inoue, though, has the higher peak dominance and might end up passing him: Undefeated Four-division champion Unified AND undisputed in two divisions Almost no close fights KO ratio and eye test are ridiculous Destroying top guys, not edging them So my honest opinion: Right now: Chocolatito is slightly greater historically. Peak-for-peak / skill-for-skill: Inoue is better. Career projection: Inoue will likely surpass him if he keeps winning.
By skipping 112 from 108 when Estrada and gonzalez were there to face narvaez at 115. His team knew wtf they were doing. Wait for them guys to get older and possibly fight them at a higher weight more beneficial to inoue
Chocolatito has beaten much better fighters and technically is the much better fighter, imo. Inoue's talent, toughness and own skill make him better overall though, for me.
Inoue was What, 20 or 21 @ the Time???... There were Other Belts Available @ 112, So the Fact Inoue SKIPPED the Division Altogether Points to a WEIGHT MAKING Issue, Not Any Imagined Fear, Hesitance or Reluctance to Face Chocolatito...You Could Just as Easily Accuse Inoue of "Ducking" the WBO, WBA and IBF Champs of That Day, Not Just Chocolatito... The FACT REMAINS, However, Inoue Flew To America, Where Chocolatito was Being Featured...Inoue Aligned Himself w/HBO, the Network That Was HEAVILY Featuring Chocolatito...And Inoue Fought on a Televised Chocolatito Undercard That YOU ATTENDED, By Your Own Admission... If Chocolatito Doesn't Get VICIOUSLY KO'ed by Rungvisai, a Bout w/Inoue LIKELY Happens...If You're "Ducking" a Guy, WHY Would You Fly to a Foreign Country, Affiliate YOURSELF w/the Network Selling the Guy's Services AND Appear On His Undercard???... The Answer is, You WOULDN'T... REED
So he wasn't just a regular coward, he was a young coward! ? Got it I better never read that Mayweather jr avoided pacquiao, cotto, mosley, etc!!
Somewhere Out There is an Equally DELUSIONAL Fan Claiming Inoue "Ducked" Former IBF Flyweight Champion, Amnat Ruenroeng, as Well... REED
Look at these 2 nippologists ^^ It would be like if Jesse rodriguez said fuck fighting cuadras, rungvisai and Estrada and instead went from 112 to 118. bypassing the super flyweight division altogether to face takuma inoue
Funny You Say That, Because There's a Growing Number of Bam Naysayers, CRITICIZING Him for Facing 3 of the "4 Kings" PAST Their Primes...Damned When You DO, Damned When You DON'T... REED
