Naoya Inoue vs Erik Morales

i don't know who would win but i can tell you there would be blood.

Gun to my head I'd pick Morales.

 

I would pay 2x PPV FEE To see this blood bath!
Money on morales

 

I'd have to favour Morales he is simply more proven and beaten better opposition. As great as Inoue is, he hasn't shown he can beat fighters on the level of Morales and may never do so, Morales was exceptional, one of the best in a very deep era.

 

I agree. He was a P4P talent when there were real ATG greats in their prime. Great era.

 

Inoue would dish out a take years of your life beating on Morales.

 

Inoue's already pushing it at 22 and Morales fought comfortably at 30 so he'd have clear physical advantage and his ferocity combined with his output and crippling body shots could break down Monsta late. Nery will answer some questions.

That said, Morales lacked one shot KO power & solid defense and forcing himself & Monsta into a firefight could be his short undoing. That's the beauty of Inoue's perfect storm of speed, two handed KO power, timing and accuracy: it just takes ones shot to upset your equilibrium and the finish comes swiftly. Surviving hell and Morales chances are increasing by the round, especially at 26 or higher.

MAB and Tapia I'd pick easier to lose, JMM is once again much larger framed than Inoue and an absolute master, albeit quite hittable. Pac is a big question mark as he's always been highly suspicious of H2H-like, unnatural growth, but if anything, at 22 or lower he looked more beatable and that's Inoue's best.

 

Morales in a classic! LIke a few others, hard to gauge Inoue as he hasn't had the eliete competition to really test himself.

 

Yep, inoue more than passes the eye test,but going for the proven guy also

Morales was a beast, but Inoue is brilliant too.

 

I need this fight

 

Y'all talking like there isn't a MASSIVE sample size of Inoue's skill and dominance. 10 years as a world champion where he went 21-0 with 19 KOs in world title fights. He's knocked out the #1 at 108, #1 at 115, and the #1-4 at 118. And he crushed the #1 and #2 at 122 at his first 2 fights there. He's boxed 156 rounds and officially lost only 6 rounds. This ain't eye test and this ain't a matter of competition. Inoue's making everyone look like easy work. Inoue's boxing ability, ring IQ, power, speed, accuracy, and chin — elite across the board. Inoue by stoppage.

@JOKER

 

Morales rangy, relentless and extremely tough. But hittable for sure.

Was he best at 122 or higher?

**** it im saying Inoue. So composed, faster and powerful.

 

Before he fights Morales does he have to go thru marquez and Barrera first then move up to face el terrible.Or just fight an old 40 year old el terrible or prime el terrible?


Inou hasn’t fought atg level comp and he is 30.
