Comments Thread For: Bob Arum: Inoue is a Tremendous Fighter...Probably Better Than Pacquiao Was

[Silence]

Canelo > Pac > Froid > Inoue in terms of p4p greatness.

Inoue gonna surpass Froid eventually. Pac is hard to surpass but possible as well.

[hugh grant]

I'm sure Inou e is better than pac in certain areas. And you are saying pac isn't better in some areas too?
And then pacs resume and achievements is greater too

[GBP4LIFE]

Not better then Pac Man LOLLLL.. try again buddy

Arum doing his best to promote Inoue. That is what he gets paid to do.

Imo, Inoue is the more skilled boxer, with a much higher IQ and better defense than Manny. Power looks to be similar.

He may never be as accomplished as Manny in terms of “title” wins in divisions. I dont see him going to 147 or 151 like Manny did.

I think he will end up the 2nd best in Crawford’s era just like Manny did in Floyd’s era.

One caveat- Inoue goes through 126, wins a belt at 130 and then wins a title at 135, especially over Tank, I think this becomes Inoue’s era and he the best boxer of the era and also a top 3-5 ATG boxer ever.

I hope we get a chance to see it.

So going to 135 and beating Tank makes him a top 3 - 5 ATG? LOL Sometimes I wonder if you really believe your own bullshyt.

Arum is right. Inoue is more technically skilled than Pacquiao. And that's one factor Pac's rise to fame grew fast. He was mostly the underdog in most of his fights, or at least in 50/50s. How many boxing aficionados branded Manny as one-dimensional, face-first brawler, etc.? He was never credited as some Loma-level fighter. He was always in see-saw battles and got hit a lot. Which made him an attraction. Of course, there are many anti-Pac's that will twist anything remotely positive about him.

People don't realize it, but to become an attraction in this sport, you have to show vulnerabilities. Guys like Spence, Thurman, just to name similarities at the top my head. Wilder's meteoric rise was in his first fight with Luis Ortiz, as another example. Fights like those are what draw casuals and hardcores alike. Of course, natural charisma is innate in some and can't be duplicated.

Does the post say that? No.

As usual, you are parsing a comment from a black poster and lying, then asking the black poster about your lie.

Please stop doing that. It derails threads and creates dishonest arguments and racial tension and race baiting where none is needed.

I get you like this type of atmosphere in the forums but the rest of us just want to talk about boxing.

If you want to discuss the actual post, let me know.

Otherwise I will leave you to your agenda.

As much as I'm a Monster fan, this is laughable from Arum

One was knocked out multiple times, the other was not.

So

[champion4ever]

Which is the reason why Money May won't let him near Gervonta Davis unless he agrees to random VADA testing. He has a mistrust of Asian fighters. He believes the "Monster" is juicing.

still waiting for arum to air all of pac's dirty secrets out.... i thought once manny leaves arum then that's when arum will expose pac of his cheating??? wouldnt this be the perfect time since arum has inoue now??
