Naoya is a less technically sound Pretty Boy Floyd. But still very good/elite

LOL, you Euros always think drugs are a viable (and legal) solution. :nut
That's why Russia is banned from the Olympics in many sports.

 

This.

 

So...what had Floyd done after 9 pro bouts?...Inoue has already beaten 3 either reigning or future champions..

 

Yeah but Inoue is half a decade away from his prime. To see what he's doing at his age is truly remarkable. Inoue has more power now than Floyd ever had and is arguably faster too. He can work on his technique, but from a raw ability point of view, he's as gifted as anyone who's laced them up.

 

Wilder has had a better resume than Inoue after 9 fights.

 

Powerful - definitely not. Inoue is arguably one of the hardest punchers in all of Boxing p4p. Floyd was never known as a power puncher at any stage of his career. One does not simply move up two divisions and KO a guy who went 12 rounds with Nonito Donaire...but Inoue did that, in 2 rounds.

Faster - again the smaller the boxer, the more likely they're faster than guys bigger than them like Floyd. 90% of Flyweights today are faster than Floyd, Gamboa, Manny etc. It's just the way it is with smaller guys.

Technically sound, of course Floyd was better...in all honesty who can compete with Floyd technically. However considering Inoue's age, injuries and experience he's not too far off, which is telling of how great this guy is.

 

He didn't just knockdown Narvaez, he destroyed him. It took Floyd 7 rounds to KD Corrales, it took Inoue seconds. Go figure.

 

To put it into perspective, Floyd, in fight #9 fought Jesus Chavez (no not the good one) and took 5 rounds to stop him, inflicting his 12th stoppage defeat. Inoue just blitzed a mandatory challenger in 2 rounds.

At that point Mayqeathwr was 0-0 in world title bouts,Inoue is 4-0 (4), and the record holder for the fewest fights to become a 2 weight world champion. He was 21 when he set that record in fight #8.

Mayweather claimed his first world title in fight #18, and wasn't a 2 weight world champion until fight #28. He was 25-at the time.

Inoue also completely skipped a division as he couldn't be ****d waiting for Reveco...who incidentally fought a guy Inoue BATTERED in his test bout

 

No one can deny that Inoue has one of the very best careers in history for anyone under 10 fights. Yes, better than the cab drivers Mayweather fought.

But, let's reserve judgement in regards to Inoue - he has elements in his game to develop.

 

Who's comparing him to Mayweather? :huh

 

Because of the IV.
