Comments Thread For: Manny Pacquiao Gives Naoya Inoue His Flowers: "He's a Special Fighter!"

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The lower-weight classes normally fly under the radar. They often house lesser-known names and simply don't receive the hoopla that fighters from heavier divisions frequently receive. Naoya Inoue, however, is changing that storyline.

would much rather see a circuit show between pac vs monster at a cw than pac vs muay thai fighter bawkaw.

With the right matchmaking and catchweight stipulations, Inoue can be another 8 division champion.

I think of a younger Pac when I watch Inoue. I feel like Pac was a faster and more talented version of Inoue. Inoue is great, absolutely. But I feel like Pac in his prime at the weight would have beaten him, and pretty badly.

Kind of goes to show the weakness of the era we are in with boxing. Fulton is good, but looks mediocre if you go back ten or fifteen years to the previous generation of guys. Inoue is by far the best at these small weights now, and he would have competed in the previous era. But in some ways I feel like he is just standing out because the sport is declining.

I see Loma, Crawford, Inoue, these guys are throwbacks. But overall, the great fighters of now would have been just really good in past eras, and the really good fighters of now would have been trounced in past eras.

We hear these comparisons to Pacquiao, most likely because Inoue is Asian. To be honest, he has a better style than Pacquiao ever had. He's a better boxer and puncher. Pacquiao was fast, but made a lot of mistakes. Inoue seems to be more of complete fighter/boxer - one without many flaws.

Both are phenoms, but I see Inoue as a superior boxer (not necessarily a better overall fighter) to prime Pacquiao. Pac was a physical force of nature with supernatural speed and endurance, but he had real flaws as a boxer. Look how Erik Morales handled a prime Pacquiao in their first fight in 2005. Pac was great, but he was beatable even at the peak of his prime.

Manny was a one armed fighter until the second Moralles fight

PAC is just following the blueprint of the great Floyd. It’s funny because PAC and his fans have been so critical of Floyd fighting exhibitions AND now PAC does it, they ALL support it.
