How much success do you think Inoue would have had against the Pacman that destroyed Ledwaba back in 2001 (the first time Pac was on a PPV event on a ODLH undercard)? Inoue is rated now higher than Pac was before he faced Barrera, and is 3 years older than Pac was back then. By and large the same size. Comparable punching power, comparable speed, accuracy. I put this question to you also to speculate how far Inoue can go, in terms of weight (above 126?) and success.
I saw Inoue for the first time yesterday, my friend e-mailed me a vid by a youtuber showing highlights from Inoue`s career and his punches are shorter than Pac`s and he`s a brilliant combo puncher, Pac was open to right hand counters because he often left his rear hand low when he jabbed, Pac didn`t have a great jab but I don`t know much about Inoue`s jab either, Pac had a tendency to lunge against opponents with long arms, so he could run into punches with bad balance but that wouldn`t be the case here because there reach es were/are probably nearby each other. Pac`s head movement often wasn`t that great which would hurt him here and I`ve saved a vid of Inoue`s defensive highlights that I haven`t watched yet, after I watch that vid I could know a lot more how this bout would go but also we`ll have to wait until this guy fights someone with Pac`s offensive abilities and power.

Monster is the next "Asian Sensation" and it will be a shame if his promoters don't help him capitalize on that.
This is excellent analysis, thank you. The problem is that we do not have anyone around with or even remotely close to Pac's offensive abilities. I am just wondering if Inoue would be able to climb further reasonably soon (say within 18 months) and take out the likes of Frampton, Santa Cruz, Russell Jr, etc.
