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

[Eltron]

And Pacquiao never fought Inoue. What the ass is your point? Lol

Your logic is that because Inoue has no negative outcomes like getting knocked out, he’s greater than Manny. You can apply the same logic with Calzaghe and Armstrong. Because Calzaghe has never lost (much less get knocked out), he’s greater than Henry Armstrong, who has been knocked out and has lost numerous times. Nobody except dumb asses who use your logic will say Calzaghe is greater than Armstrong.

I sincerely hope you find another calling because damn bro, boxing isn’t it lmao.

Calslappy never fought Armstrong, that's what you don't get.

Let's look at Calslappy, Hopkins, Jones. All fought each other .

Only one of them wasn't knocked out.

That one is better than their opposition.

You missed the point, and this is the last.

IF Calslappy fought Armstrong, he would slap his way to a W over Armstrong.

IF Inoue fought Manny, he would sleep him.

BECAUSE when you've been knocked out, you're not the same fighter and you will likely lose to a guy who has figured out a way not to get knocked out.

[Eltron]

Lmao. Yeah so I guess since Mikey Garcia never got knocked out, he would knock out Tommy Hearns and Roberto Duran if they fought. Your ******ity is pure entertainment. Please don’t make this your last comment!

And what Donaire did to Arce, Montiel, and Darchinyan was not amazing? Fulton and Rodriguez are NOT even close to what Arce, Montiel, and Darchinyan were. Hell, they’re not even close to to Mthlane!

And Inoue smoked Donaire. lol

[ELPacman]

The couch potato talk is in full effect.

What Inoue did to Fulton, Rodriguez, and Donaire is amazing. He’s better than Donaire in every way.

Nah man. What Donaire did to Darchinyan (twice), Arce, Montiel (crazy KO) were better than anything Inoue has done yet.

Like I said, Inoue doesn't have "legends", "knocking on the door to legends" under his belt besides an old Donaire. He's beaten guys that weren't all that impressive in their own careers, but the best thing Inoue could fight. That's not a knock against Inoue either, it could just be current times and him facing what is available/the best available. Unfortunately, the best available, isn't all that great/talented.

pac ran through weight classes and beat barrera, JMM and Morales and that is only at the lower weights never mind his second run at higher weights.


Inoue is 30 now and beat Stephen Foulton and 40 year old Donaire.


Inoue vs Rigo is a better comparison in terms of legacy and head to head. The pac comparison is ******ed.

[Eltron]

And Inoue smoked Donaire. lol

And Berbick and Holmes smoked Ali. I guess they’re greater than Ali? Joey Maxim smoked Sugar. I guess Joey’s greater than Sugar? Right?

Pacman beats everyone including Crawford or whoever, when it comes to resume.

no argument there.

But to say who is better than who based on skill is something completely different.

Inoue has been nearly perfect up to this point.

I see Manny having a lot more holes in his game than Inoue.
But at the end of the day it's opinion.
But both are comparable in terms of skill, athleticism.

[JOITATS]

I don't know why some ppl get all riled up,
Arum is entitled to think that. Even Tyson said that Inoue maybe better than Pacman.

[Eltron]

Nah, it doesn’t work like that. Pacquiao has objectively proven he is the more “skilled” fighter by actually beating better opposition. I don’t care how “fundamentally” sound you are. Muhammad Ali was not the most “fundamentally” sound but you cannot say that he wasn’t skilled. The fact that he reigned in an era full of HW ATGs OBJECTIVELY proves that’s he’s more “skilled” than your typical “fundamentally” sound fighter. Being a great fighter is more meaningful than being “fundamentally” sound.
