    Mayweather was never exciting. The better question would be between PacMan and Inoue. I would go with PacMan.

    Who gives a ****?
    Why not make a thread as to who's greater and see the results? That won't happen because idiots like the thread starter and you have an agenda.

    Inoue’s career is far from over. Who knows how much more greatness he will go onto achieve. Relax dude there can be other great fighters besides Floyd.

    But that isn't the question though is it? Mayweather was a great, nobody seriously disputes that. But he was as boring as batpiss to watch. Inoue is an entertaining fighter, Mayweather wasn't as entertaining. That's a fact.

    It's like Djokovic is arguably the GOAT in tennis but there is no argument to suggest that he's more exciting than John McEnroe. Hell, people would go to watch Nick Kyrgios (who has won nothing of note) before they'd watch that boring turd.

    Inoue is a product of immaculate matchmaking by Brad Goodman who has been apart of 632 events dating back to the year 2000, and has been the primary matchmaker for Top Rank and won the NABF Matchmaker of the Year award in 2022. Naoya Inoue won his first title when he was 5-0, by beating a slow plodding, flat footed Mexican opponent who was knocked out twice already and was knocked out again after Inoue won the WBC Flyweight Title. Naoya Inoue is supposed to be exciting because he’s knocking out overmatched Hispanic and Filipino opponents. Tank does the same thing and he’s criticized for not fighting top level competition, but inoue can fight Mexicans who have been knocked out 6 time and win fighter of the year lol

    This is a dumb thread though exciting doesn't mean greatness gatti was arguably the most exciting fighter ever but how great was he? The thread starter is doing this as a way to suggest being exciting means he's greater somehow that's the only reason why he made this thread, to try and stick it to pbf because he hates him. It would be like me making a thread who has better defense pbf or inoue? Why do it? It's dumb. Btw i think inoue is a great fighter I have him p4p #2 currently.

    Inoue is a unified champ in two weight classes

    I seriously doubt it. The talent nor the names don't fight at those weights. He would have to climb to atleast 135 and start beating guys there to be considered in that category. his best win is either an ancient donaire or Fulton depending on how you rate him. Not his fault the talent pool isn't as deep down low but it is what it is.

    He is but those weightclasses aren't talent rich. He's not unified at 135 and 140 or 140 and 147 or 168 and 175. Guys that fight down there will never get as much credit as guys that fight at higher weights that's the way it is and it has to do with numbers.

    Beating guys who were past their best is a lot of what Floyd did if Inoue cleans out 126 and 130 against guys in their prime he could surpass him.
