Where do Naoya Inoue and Devin Haney land after impressive wins?

play

The No. 2 pound-for-pound fighter in the world, Naoya Inoue, scored a second-round knockout victory over Nonito Donaire in their second fight of the year.

The 16-member panel gave Inoue more votes than before, but he couldn't beat Crawford. The difference between them shrunk from 40 to 10.

The way he dealt with Donaire moved him to the top of the list.

For a long time, Inoue was second on my list. The "Monster" feasted since his fight of the year win over Donaire.

The future Hall of Famer was on a roll at bantamweight. As he sliced through the divisions, we thought he was just a fighter, but that was not the case. He might be getting better. He is just 29 years old.

Ben Baby thinks moving Inoue after defeating Donaire is a mistake.

Inoue has always been included in the pound-for-pound rankings. Three of the other guys on my list have won titles after moving up a weight class and becoming undisputed champion.

Inoue is well on his way to becoming a certified star after winning titles in three different divisions. He will be on the top of the pound-for-pound list if he continues on his current path. Not just yet, isn't it?

The undisputed lightweight champ got enough votes to make the top 10. Jermell Charlo and Gervonta Davis both knocked on the door after their victories on May 28.
