Inoue reminds me of...

A better, more talented version of Tszyu. Obviously, I mean Kostya, not Tim.

Like he's Tszyu if Kostya had been more fluid, more two-fisted, more athletic, and more adaptable.

So, a rich man's Tszyu. Or Tszyu was a poor man's Inoue.

 

He has that prime RJJ aura where he has that athleticism, fast hands and feet, KO power, and just makes everyone look second rate. Of course he’s not as gifted as RJJ but still very dominant and explosive. That’s the vibe I get from him at the moment.

 

Some of Roy's gifts yeah, but closer to Tszyu in style than Roy.

Teo is the one who (tries) to fight like Roy. Only he's not a fraction as good.

 

He's like Tszyu but different in every way. Agreed.

 

That's what I thought when I first saw him. They have similar punch mechanics.

 

Inoue would beat tszyu within a inch of his life

 

In a P4P matchup? Yes, Inoue would stop Tszyu. Hence why I said Kostya was a lesser version.

 

Some similarities wit Tzsyu indeed but not enough imo to call one a ' poor man's'' version of the other
