The fight shows Inoue's one weakness: now that he's dispensed with Donaire, he has no real opposition anymore at that level - no potential for a big, attention-getting fight. it's just the bum-of-the-month club. So how far up the ladder can he go? Can he win the featherweight title? Can he take on the lightweights? Inoue-Stevenson? Manny Pacquiao was the WBC flyweight champion in 1998. He's 5-5 1/2. Inoue is 5-5. He's 29. Manny was a featherweight champ at age 29. [/QUOTE]
