Superstar Inoue is 'Mr Excitement...he can be top of the bill for 2024

His devastating victory over Marlon Tapales in Tokyo this week was another demonstration of his quality, a performance deserving of Fighter of the Year.

WHATEVER happens in 2024, Naoya Inoue should be front and centre. I put him up there with Terence Crawford as the pound-for-pound king.

He is so explosive. He tries to land the knockout blow from the first punch. He is not interested in style per se. He just goes for it from the bell. I love that in a fighter. He is Mr Excitement.

Big guys tend to get all the attention but there is none in as this generation watch underscored claiming the undisputed as riveting to him. He that by super-bantamweight title to become a four-weight world champion.

There is talk of a match-up with Gervonta Tank' Davis. I think that's a leap too far, besides my fingers are crossed elsewhere for Davis.
