    Inoue is better than Pac as it stands though if he can maintain his fierce fight record and demolition job he's putting on his opponents.

    Haney is precise, slick and deadly accurate not to mention evasive. I think these are pretty good comparisons although there is only one Floyd Mayweather and ever will be. I think they have similar styles would you agree?

    Which comparisons could you make with yesteryear?

    Terence Crawford is the real chess master and artist. Who would he be like from the past?

    Haney is not Floyd, not even close

    I’m not the biggest fan of Floyd, but he wouldn’t have just narrowly scraped close decisions against shot Linares and old Loma at 135

    Come on, they are completely different. Let’s also wait a little bit longer before we start saying ‘fighter x is the new Floyd etc’.

    I think Abel Sanchez broke it down good, when talking about Teofimo and Roberto Duran

    “He has that meanness, he has that bravado, he has the skill… He still has a lot to learn, he still has a long way to go to be compared to Roberto Duran. But he is as close as we’ve come in a long, long time”

    And this was after he beat Loma, today the comparisons just keep getting on point. Both got a loss on their record, Kambosos/De Jesus, but still beat the top guys in the higher weight classes afterwards. Hell, if Teo actually got the Bud fight, we might see the Duran v Leonard of our generation

    Haney is a fraud who got outboxed by much smaller older Lomachenko

    Floyd was aggressive when he was fighting guys his size. Haney is hyper defensive while having the size advantage.

    The only thing Comparable with Haney and Floyd Is their jab.

    Haney couldn't carry Floyd's spit bucket.

    lol Inoue is 30 years old and hasnt beaten anyone. His best win is against a way past prime Donaire.

    Pacquiao at 30 was a 7 weight world champion with wins over Ledwaba, Barerra x2, Morales x2, Marquez, Hatton, De La Hoya and Cotto

    Inoue is nothing like Pacquiao and wont even get near Mayweather in terms of greatness let alone Manny Pacquiao

    Floyds way better than Haney. Floyd didn't need weight bullying, he just drained opponents, picked them when at their weakest etc.
