Of course next for Inoue is Junto Nakatani and after Juntos performance this past weekend I feel most of us are already looking past this fight. Once Inoue fights Nakatani (assuming he wins) there really is absolutely no business left for him or his legacy at 122lbs UNLESS Bam Rodriguez ends up wanting to take on the challenge, which I don't think is realistic right now unless Saudi money sways him.
That said at 126 Inoue has said in the past its his absolute limit and hed like to unify Featherweight as his 3rd division before retiring. Most people seem confident Inoue can/will beat Nick Ball and I personally think Angelo Leo is very manageable for The Monster, but what about Rafael Espinoza or Bruce Carrington? (assuming Carrington claims the WBC world title on the Teo vs Shakur card) these guys are way bigger than Inoue, in their primes and skilled undefeated champions. We've seem Inoues power get noticeably less devastating at 122, and recently when asked about Featherweight Inoue has seemed a little less certain thats still the plan.
Do you guys think its realistic Inoue can unify 126? Even likely he will try? How do you see the rest of his career playing out, hes said in the past he doesnt want to stay in beyond the end of 2027 and once he feels a decline he wants to call it.
