    Manny only fought 2 forgettable fights at 118. This would be a fight of the decade nominee imo. Albeit a non existent right hand, i dont think inoue could keep young Manny away from him. Constant pressure vs pure skill.

    Inoue via MD 115-114.

    Inoue would knock a young Pacquiao out.

    Manny was still very unpolished back then and even then already had great talent and physical gifts. Quite possibly the best opponent inoue would have than his entire resume. Im picking manny by stoppage

    Bantamweight Pacquiao was a unfinished product and Inoue would knock him out. There's a lot of interesting fantasy fights at bantamweight you can make with Inoue but this isn't one of them.

    Inoue beats a young pac, but if he stays at the same level? He isn't as good as Pac became at the higher weights

    P4p Pac beats him

    Pac could KO Inoue. Inoue could also KO him.

    50/50.

    Manny isn't hopeless in this matchup. He could very well KO Inoue with the nukes in his fists.

    Inoue by KO.

    Pac was very hittable and only had 3 punches at this time. He mostly won based on size. Inoue has too good of defense for this version of Pac.

    I'm going with Inoue at that weight, the higher we go up the more I favour PacMan

    Wasn't Pac 18-19 when he fought at BW?

    I think it's more interesting we're talking about the Inoue of 5 years ago (admittedly I've never seen any of those fights).

    Inoue came out of the gate almost elite. Yeah, I think he takes out BW Pac.

    Technically he never fought at bantamweight. He skipped S/fly and B|W because he was drained and weaken.

    He jumped to 122. That Pacquiao is far from easy fight for Inoue. The one that beat Lebwaba and Julio was a 23 yr old that was getting the attention of the boxing world.
