    Yes he is, at least as Asia's (of the appropriate region and closest ethnicity) closest representative. Nobody else comes close. It could have been Rungvisai, but alas no.

    Yep at 7:17 you can see Pac's right hook almost make Margarito fall like I was referring to in a earlier comment of mine. Pac's power in both hands was nuts

    It should if been Rungvisai man he had the wrong game plan for the Estrada rematches & had success when changing stances, bad & then the fight he didn't need against the much bigger Bam, All bad,

    Speaking of why did Bam get quiet in regards to him facing Gonzalez, looks like he didn't want it, Bam vs Inoue would be good too in the future.

    Teofimos win against Loma was the most unimpressive impressive win I've ever seen. He won all the rounds where nobody threw any punches then lost all but 1 round where there were actual exchanges. Loma may have been a better win than Donaire. But Inoues win was more impressive.

    How the hell does that work? Loma beat Rigo and Walters.Donaires papi! It is impressive in the levels .Loma is a top pnd for pnd fighter head and shoulders above Donaire.Donito was beating midgets like stephon young, quabali and gaballo.Even if you combine both quabali and gaballo in one body (quaballos) they are not that great.Now if you look at performance you will say he didnt knock him out.But Lomachencko is a monster, it’s levels.He is not a ten pin bowling kind of opponent.You bowl over with one shot.Plus Teo was 23 years old you dont even see young cats these days fight that kind opposition early in their careers.Kid is 26 and fought better opps than Nooway.I speak of Loma and Taylor.Nooway is 30 and fought Fulton.

    He could take every drug in the book it still won't give his frame the size Pacquiao had, which allowed him to move up.

    Pac fought from 107 to 147. Inoue will never fight over that large a range. He's fought from 107 to 122 but is way too small to get up to 135 and maybe not 130. And Inoue would have to defeat Loma, Lopez, Davis, Haney, Stevenson or at least look good against them to even come close to Manny's resume.

    When the dust settles after Inoues career he will be in the ATG conversation. Inoue don’t use PEDs and has a small frame so won’t go past 130 probably.

    If he is, who are this generation’s …

    1) Ms Pac-Man?

    2) Super Mario Bros?

    3) Tetris?

    Pacquiao's resume destroys Inoue's resume it's not even close really and i like Inoue.

    Pacquiao was an 8 division champion and has wins over the likes of JMM x2, Barrera x2, Morales x2, Sasakul, Larios, ODLH, Cotto, Hatton, Clottey, Margarito, Mosley, Bradley x2, Thurman.

    As i said earlier Inoue has yet to beat a top 10 P4P fighter Pacquiao destroyed Barrera who was P4P number 3, beat Marquez who was P4P number 3, Hatton who was P4P number 10, Cotto who was P4P number 7, Marquez again who was P4P number 4, Bradley who was P4P number 3, Bradley again who was P4P number 10.

    He is a better boxer than Pac at that weight but that's it. Pac had more power and speed. Pac was truly, a magnificent beast.

    Probably not. Inoue is so small I can’t see him having success above featherweight.

    It's hard to say until he starts fighting at higher weights.

    The Donaire victory concerns me.

    Just as the the Roman Gonzales vs Carlos Cuadras fight concerned fans of Gonzales.

    These lower weights, it's a bit of an up for grabs, squeeze a zit on the globe with a blind fold on and

    When you refuse random Olympic style blood testing you CAN take every drug in the book
