Well he’s also retired and Inoue’s career is pretty much just starting out and he’s already answered more about himself than Hamed ever has. So yeah, fraud, I’m sticking to that.
You obviously forgot about Hamed’s HBO NYC debut against Kevin Kelly that almost turned into a disaster when Hamed, struggled with him. Also, the aging fighters Hamed fought were never the caliber of a Donaire and were more over the hill than aging. They certainly didn’t come in as sharp as Donaire nor with a distinctive weight advantage over Hamed. Hamed made it a point to twice successfully beg out of a title defense against JMM. The only real test he ever had he got dominated and only fought one time after that. He was unprecedentedly gifted a spot on pound for pound lists prematurely all based on potential. He was a good fighter that was treated and pushed to be a superstar. All of that is why he’s a fraud.
If P4P matchups don't apply, then there's absolutely no reason to favor Inoue right now. Inoue has more offensive skills than Hamed, but Hamed would simply be too big and powerful for Inoue.
