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

[Jdasilva2012]

Pacquiao is a storybook legend. Inoue is great and is a HOF already but only time will tell if he can reach Pacquio's level, however, in my opinion he's a little bit too late.

I loved Pacquiao, and he is still a source of inspiration for me and now Inoue is no doubts my favorite fighter in the sport.

Yawn. You lied about what I posted to fixate on Tank to pivot to race, then act like that wasnt your intention. I guess you think youre fooling everyone.

Tank has since made 135 with no issue multiple times since he missed weight. Youre leaving that out.

Ive criticized the Floyd call out of Inoue multiple times.

Youre again attempting diverting the thread so you can spew some anti black rhetoric.

Unless the discussion is about Inoue and Manny, I will not respond again.

Again, nothing to do with race...which you brought up first because you are a paranoid delusional psycho fixated on race. You do this on every damn thread. You're just mad because since I came along I expose your bigotry and race card playing and make you look foolish. Everyone ridicules you in the lounge and you're blaming me. Take responsibility for your own behavior for once in your life.

Tank won't be making 135 in 2 years. He may not even be fighting and if he is it will be against Youtubers and washed up MMA fighters. He's not looking for any serious challenges. That's why he is trying to cherry pick Inoue right now to drag him up 3 weight classes instead of focusing on cleaning out 135. He will duck Haney, Shakur and Loma. He won't fight for the remainder of 2023 and likely only once in 2024.

Anti-black rhetoric while I praise Crawford and insist Haney and Shakur are the ones to beat at 135? Do you see how irrational and insane you are? Paranoid. Some white teenager w with a better car than you must have cut you off in traffic again and now you're on a civil rights march through the forums. Guess what? For all your crying about race, you are the one who has posted on every single race thread in the lounge right now. Not me. Simp.

Pacquiao may be a bit over rated. I know a ref just admitted he cheated for Pacquiao when he got knocked down by Nedal Hussein so in reality Pacquiao should have 9 losses. Pacquiao also fought for 7 or 8 vacant titles something that isn’t discussed but should be.

Guy beats an old ass Donaire and suddenly he's the greatest thing since sliced bread.

He’s absolutely destroying everything in front of him

[Airtioteclint]

I may not like Pac (because he's an excuse making *****), but I respect him. And for people to say Inoue is better than him is just not true. Pac is the second greatest boxer of his generation. Inoue can't hold his jockstrap. I'm not putting Inoue on a pedestal because he beat 40yr old Donaire.

Who cares about all that. The title of the thread is who's the better fighter not who got the better career. Which is Inoue for the reasons that I stated.

He lays traps and is able to execute them with his skills.

He isn't pulverizing his opponents because they're bums but because his plan working.

Bob being Bob The promoter, I would say Monster is the next Pacman like Kobe to Jordan. Is Kobe better than Jordan?!

[allen23]

Can't we just accept they are both exceptional. Ones career is far from over so you can't compare. I've seen a few knocking mannys achievements which is ridiculous. He went through 8 weight classes and showed that having an undefeated record isn't the be all and end all in boxing.
he was fast, fearless and truky one of a kind. Let inoue create his own path and see where it falls when his career comes to an end

[Willy Wanker]

Bob being Bob.

Didn't he say Floyd was better or just as good Ali, then he said the same about Pacquiao a few years later?

[ThunderFists]

as a boxer inoue was better than pac ever was lets be honest. inoue has everything including defense offense chin heart stamina etc. pacs greatest achievement is his longetivity and consistency. if they fought at 122 or 118 inoue would have kaoyed him, inoue is a stylistic nightmare for pac and i love pac

i would also like to add inoue has been undisputed and will be 2x undisputed. when has manny even been undisputed. theres also the catchweight issue with him and floyd. guys like inoue and crawford and leaving no doubt

Lol. Inoue is a damn good fighter. Fulton hit him with multiple huge shots, Fulton is feather fisted. Donaire hurt him, and Donaire is old and not half of what Pac was.

Inoue fans are now becoming the new Spence pre Crawford fans. Spence was unbeatable, just a monster, etc. Lol. Spence another really good fighter, great fundamentals. Special beats fundamentals.

Robeisy Ramirez will end the Inoue hype. Watch. And when he does, you guys will all say Inoue jist went too high in weight. Lol.

Pac KO's Inoue inside 6. Too strong and Pac was special, not fundamentally sound.

Love Inoue but the hype is cringe at this point.
