    Most likely but I think Inoue has real power and is willing to take a punch to land a punch. But Rigo packed granite too.

    I'll always wonder how prime Rigo would've fared against prime Loma...maybe 124? Cause I could see Inoue doing a poor man's Loma too...

    I think Donaire was just as lethal as Inoue (at least with the left hook), but more defensively sound. Inoue seems easy hit and believes in his offense to overwhelm opponents. Against a prime Rigondeaux, that wouldn’t work out though.

    Lomachenko was quite a bit bigger than Rigo and would therefore always give him problems.

    I really think Inoue is the better boxer. Both will be known for having shakier chins. Rigo could definitely drop Naoya but I don't see him winning most rounds and probably he doesn't survive

    Rigo. Easier than people think. Rigo dominated a better Donaire, Inoue had all he could handle with a faded Donaire.

    People really must've forgot. Prime Rigo was something else. I love Loma but he beat a blown up shell of Rigo.

    Rigos chin was pure glass he doesn't last two rounds with Inoue.
