    You're effing joking right? Do you realize that Morales would bust a cap in Inoue's ass. Totally different caliber fighter. Morales is one of the best and most skilled fighters ever, in any weight class, in any era.

    WTF do you mean? It's observable. Inoue's punch mechanics are flawless. His jab is probably the best in boxing. He's never off balance. He's rarely ever out of position to attack or defend. He cuts the ring beautifully, which Pac was never really good at.

    No, he wouldn´t. We´re talking boxing here, not your gangsta phantasies, chap. "bust a cap" lmao. I see Morales going down to a liver hook, his face busted up (he busted up easily), face contorted in agony and defeat.

    LMAO. A man who eats a Pacquiao left hand is not going down from an Inoue punch. Stop it son.

    You think Morales had bad punch mechanics. He's one of the most precise punchers in the history of the sport.

    From a technical standpoint it's Inoue. Pac was more unorthodox and relied a lot on his physical gifts but he was unique.

    More technically skilled: Inoue
    Better fighter: Pacquiao

    Inoue does not lose to someone with 9 losses.

    Pacquiao for me in a case that really is open and shut.

    Hopefully Inoue gets to fight some elite fighters (not his fault) so he can prove how great he is.

    Funny how Inoue ducked 112 which is the weight Manny was knocked out at x 2 albeit he missed weight by 1lb in both instances and Manny completely ducked 115 and 118 which are the weights Inoue went 8-0 (7KOs) and 9-0 (8 KOs) at respectively, eh? I think it's a huge stain on both their legacies they ducked those divisions and never won world titles at those weights and I believe it should heavily detract from both their respective ranking in an ATG sense. So all things considered, I'd say they're both even in terms Accomplishments, Talent and Greatness and a fight between them in their primes would always end in a draw for me.

    If you take out the times Pacquaio KOd Morales, Pac only had a 25% KO rate at 130. Seems like maybe Morales' chin isn't quite as good as you think.

    Yeah, lol, which raised his KO % at the weight to 50%. Chin of steel, ole Morales. A real Naoya Inoue

    Well, Inoue did bypass Gonzalez, Estrada, Ioka, and Nietes. I've been told here that none of that was his fault, but fact remains that there were greats or near-greats nearby.
