    Like imagine if Inoue was the same exact size as Duran. Would his skills and murderous power allow him to go 4-0?

    I don’t think so, I have watched them in their prime, even when they are bigger, both Duran and Leonard has better speed and more savage.
    Tommy’s length will always be a problem for anyone and Hagler’s chin was impregnable.

    No.

    Inoue is great but there are levels.

    All four would beat him.

    Hearns is a horrible match-up for him in particular.

    I am sorry, but is is a bit of a goofy thread.

    1) If he were as big as them, then he would be a completely different athlete and fighter. Skillsets aren't from magic. They are a result of physical properties that would change if the body changed.

    2) No one is really going to answer this objectively. Whenever you do an old guy VS new guy thread, two-thirds pick the old guy out of good memories and respect, and a third are naturally inclined to say that their era is the best.

    Let's let Inoue continue to prove himself against the fighters of his era, and we'll talk in ten years about how he would have done against Carbajal, Harada, Wilde. etc.
