Avenging his father (for being shoved) and soul-raping the unbeaten Man-Rod in the second round? Brutally ending the rejuvenated and rampaging Nonito in a Filipino flash? Needing just 2 punches to flatten ne'er-been-stopped tough man Payano? Violently dispatching of Jamie McDonnell with the least movement ever used in a professional boxing match?

Taking his surgically repaired eye socket for a test drive and then putting on a surgical display of technical boxing before ending it w/ a one hitta quitta? Proving that Inoue has Godzilla blood and Valyrian steel in his chin when he absorbed 3 planet-obliterating nukes from Nonito, got his eye broke,and still whooped his ass? The seasoned Taguchi lost a unanimous decision to unknown 4-0 fetus Inoue, but went on to rule the 108 pound division and unifying titles.
Blistering performance and seeing Manny Rod wincing from the body shot as blood leaked from his nose...
Inoue was definitely at his peak in Donaire 2, but I have to go with the Rodriguez KO. Rodriguez was a legit champion and is still elite at 118 to this day, with a good chin, and Inoue destroyed him in 2 rounds.
I don't know, man. The Jamie McDonnell fight was crazy. Inoue Naoya looked like he barely put anything behind his punches. And that G move of brushing aside an errant lock of hair after he buckled Jamie... Looked like a fixed fight. Or the filming of a fight scene.
Especially considering that he was giving up almost 15 pounds lol, literally fighting an opponent bigger than Lomachenko. His power is 100% going to carry up
