Comments Thread For: Inoue Awaiting Offer for Showdown in Australia

[tonysoprano]

He's gotten more 10-8 rounds than 10-9 rounds in his career. If anyone can keep decisions out of the hands of the judges, it's Inoue.

Crazy how many people don't respect his accomplishments.

Too many fans don’t care about anything below 126. Even pac never really got the attention he deserved till he moved up in weight.

Pac didn’t dominate the low weights like Inoue though. When Manny debuted in US he was 32-2 and had only held one title at 112. Inoue is a four division, 2x undisputed champ who’s lost maybe 5 rounds in 26 fights.

was a lot easier for Manny to fly under the radar. Until the Ledawba fight his career wasn’t going any differently from most other 1 division champs in Asia.

Many people just talk because they need to. Especially in boxing.

I think when Pac fought Ledwaba he was 22.

Not a fair comparison if you are comparing 30 year old Inoue to a 22 year old Pac

22-23 year old Inoue was also only a 2-division champ (light fly, superfly).

Pac would end up climbing higher and fighting all the whos who of his generation, including Floyd.


That would be like inoue climbing up to fight bud.

but that's not happening.
he don't want that type of smoke

I was just saying that you can't compare the two in the lower divisions. Manny made his name fighting above 122 because he hadn't really done anything major below that. That's why Manny was unknown when he came to the USA. Not comparable situations.

Inoue not even close.
Nobody even knows him outside of his country.

pacquiao nearly had like 20 fights with hall of famers.

inoue has what? 2? a 40 year old donaire? that's it?

Because the lower division didn't matter. Period.
All the names were above 122.
That's like Pacquiao avoiding Barrera, Morales, Marquez, because he just wants to be undisputed at 122 or 118 against cab-drivers the likes of Tamales or Butler.

Maybe cuz at the lower weight classes they aren't as known as the others

I don't have the patience for Pac Tards...
