    Haney. He will beat Prograis easily.

    Yes i expect the same though Prograsis might train for his life for this one to make it more competitive or so it seems.

    Inoue is fairly unknown to casuals, another division or two will solidify him publicly a bit more I think

    Haney.

    While I believe Haney lost to Lomachenko, he's very much an overlooked bottom-of-half of the top 10 P4Per.

    Most boxing observers rate Inoue either #1 or #2 P4P.

    I'd say Haney. Most boxing fans acknowledge Inoue as one of the top P4P fighters in the world today, so can't say he's underrated at all.

    Yes Haney lost to Loma but he's still a very good boxer, not on Inoue's level but were asking who's more underrated not who's better. I think Haney will comfortably out box the limited Pograis.

    By which demo?

    Among casuals Inoue is more underrated

    Among people who actually follow boxing Haney. Inoue is universally seen top 3 P4P in boxing circles. All publications have him there I think he was even no. 1 before Bud beat Spence so there's no way to call him underrated in boxing circles he's rated properly.

    Who on Earth underrates Inoue? He's almost universally thought of as one of the 3 top fighters in the world regardless of weight class

    To casuals? Inoue since they may not even know who he is

    But amongst more knowledgeable boxing fans, Haney

    Haney is a fraud once he can no longer boil down with extreme weight cuts and has to fight guys his own size he is finished. The kid is on borrowed time.

    Depends who you ask but i think at this point both guys have to go for it & make or break it that in itself will establish them going forward, i don't think they are even at the half point of their Careers yet, once both guys actually go through their competition the results will speak for themselves.

    Nobody actually underrates Inoue, Haney is overrated, and that will be seen soon...
