    The Inoue of yesterday against the Pacquiao of the Ledwaba fight. Who wins?

    Pac by stoppage. He was a force in the Ledwaba fight.

    FFS, these threads are gonna make me be critical of Inoue. Fulton is not Ray Leonard, calm down. The kid won 7-5 over Brandon Figureoa FFS, hardly the stuff of legends. You would think Inoue blew out a prime Sonny Liston.

    Gomez, Pac, Fenech, Barrera, and Morales would alllllll destroy Stephen Fulton.

    Inoue is quite a bit more skilled technically than that version of pacquaio.

    Barrera didn't have the fast twitch muscle to deal with pacquaio, inoue does

    Are we ALREADY forgetting that a much lesser Filipino rocked Inoue and fucked his eye? Inoue looks fast twitchy because he's never faced a comparably athletic fighter, much less a more athletic fighter like Pac.

    Imoue KOs Fulton, and not even a day later you're saying he'd beat Gomez and Pac. Slow down!

    im not sure who'd win but it would be a competitive fight. both pacquiao and inoue would knock gomez out.

    Pac for sure. I like Inoue but Manny was another level. I think his speed and power would be too much.

    Pacquiao KO 8

    Without getting into my thoughts on the current Inoue hype train, I could see him potentially winning this one.

    Pacquiao at 122 was drained, softer and very open to counters. He was dropped by Hussein and Yeshmagambetov (126, not 122) and was hurt and bothered by Sanchez just after Lebwaba.

    I'm not saying Inoue definitely would win, but I can absolutely see Pacquiao rushing onto a back-hand and a getting hurt bad enough to be finished off.
