Come on bro, Loma is 396-1 in ams, he has better ring IQ than almost anyone ever Offense - Loma, Inoue has incredible power but he isnt a generational talent when it comes to offence, he is just an elite offensive fighter. Defence - Loma Power - Inoue, biggest puncher in boxing p4p no question, covers up for his flaws Ring IQ - Loma no question
I wouldn't say he's better than Loma as I value footwork & skills over KOs, but Inoue's only 26 & has power that would easily translate to higher weight divisions. He could probably hang with the guys at 122 now and he has a real chance to go for Pacquiao's record should he bulk up, at which point he'd have secured ATG-status.
Of course he's a generational talent when it comes to offense. He's knocked people out with BOTH hands, to the body, to the head, going forward, AND backwards. This can only be achieved because his punch selection (greatest since JMM) and boxing skills are breathtaking.
Maybe he is, but I will be honest, it’s hard assessing Inoue for me, every fight I watch of him, I keep thinking it’s a fluke, but he keeps knocking them out, I’d love to see him in a 12 round fight with an elite level boxer. It feels like it shouldn’t be possible for someone so little to carry such power in both hands. Still, I feel he has flaws and without his incredible power he’d be top 30 p4p instead of top 5
If they were the same size, Inoue would win, he'd beat Crawford's ass as well. Inoue is my new pound for pound number 1
Okay, I hear you. I think he may have some defensive weaknesses, but I also think that might not be fair. Inoue presses the action and as such, will get hit a little bit because he has that much faith in his power to change things very quickly. So far he's been 100% correct.
I love this chick Inoue but come on... Inoue is about to have one of his biggest ever fight's with an old version of a guy [Donaire] who got KOd & schooled by two guys Loma made quit... Walters & Rigo! Keep up OP... I have been following boxing a long time and I can't think of any boxer who done so much in so few pro fights as Loma has! Inoue is doing great but he hasn't moved up as quickly as Loma.. 18 fight's since 2012. Loma has had 14 since 2013.. & I think I'm right in saying Loma has took more 0s & beaten more former & current world champions too? & Inoue's best wins are guys like Narvaez who was about 40! That's ancient for HWs let alone BWs! Great fighter sure, but better? Nah... Loma did it in fewer fight's over a shorter time period against better overall depth.
It doesn't matter who is the best between these two. For differing reasons, both are awesome. One has freakishly good footwork, the other freakish power. And God knows where it comes from. Not planet Earth, that's for sure.....
For me personally, and trust me I know how over the top this is about to sound, but for me... Lomas probably the most skilled fighter Ive seen. Where he becomes vulnerable is a slight lack of physicality (which really only becomes apparent against larger opponents with a certain style)
All those guys do somethings better than others and Loma does some things better than some of those guys. Skills are skills. What Im saying is there is no most skilled ever and to say Loma is the most skilled ever is laughable but not an insult.
