    I think that punch for punch, Hamed probably hit harder.

    But he was an exclusive head hunter and neglected the body. And his defense was porous against the very best, although it hardly mattered most of the time.

    I'm picking Inoue because of his discipline and all around boxing IQ. He's a more complete fighter than Hamed while having similar punching power.

    Ridiculous question, Inoue by lightyears.

    Inoue would destroy Naz worse than Barrera did.

    I wouldn't.

    Inoue's lost like 6 total rounds across a decade long career and in those rounds, it's a difference of a little more activity or a punch or two. He's never been dominated in a round or lost wide.

    Wild ass one handed Pac brutally destroyed Barrera. Inoue would do even worse. He's a savage combination puncher and I don't think Barrera holds up.

    That still doesn't pull Hamed level with Inoue, though.

    Now that's a fair comparison. Really tough one, at that. (depending on the weight class)

    Hamed showed he couldn't take a loss. He fell into oblivion after Barrera. Meanwhile inoue suffers a broken orbital against Donaire in his toughest fight. Learns from his mistakes and knocks out Donaire the second time around. I have a feeling even if inoue eventually loses he will find a way to come back. When your supposed to be elite the fighter with the greater heart, not just skillet, always wins.

    Inoue's looked invincible his entire career bar 2 punches from Nonito that shook him up for a second or two.

    Chris Algieri said it perfectly before and after the Fulton fight. He said Inoue was fundamentally perfect in every way. And then you throw in elite speed and monster power...

    Do you think Inoue will retire undefeated?

    Yes, unless he does something crazy like go to 135. I think he'll clean up 122, 126, and win a title at 130 and then retire. He's mentioned 35 years of age as an exit point.
