Japan's 'Monster' Inoue retains titles against Dipaen

I agree.. Inoue is a very talented boxer, pretty evident from his power, accuracy and agility.

But I feel like most fights set here is so predictable, low hanging fruits type of set ups... Not to mention the over the top nicknames... He should move up weightclasses, do what Pacquiao did

He should move up in weightclasses and actually fight real boxers... Do what Pacquiao did and not pick low hanging fruits

Dipaen who??????

He needs to fight Lomachenko or Crawford, some big names and in Vegas if he wants to be considered world class.

Inoue at the moment is only a "Monster" to no-name fighters.

Inoue is special for us. We want him to succeed. Take it one step at a time, rather then Main Card Fights like Pacquiao which is risky, dangerous, and not worth it, just to prove to foreign audience how great he is.

Manny Pacquiao greatest boxer to ever live, won at many Weight classes, yet he never got the recognition he deserves even now!!

Manny Pacquiao name should be next to Mohammed Ali. Among the greatest! First and only Asian fighter to achieve such greatness, yet still not good enough for many fans that are not Asian.

You don't really follow boxing suggesting Crawford.There's a thing called weight classes.

Do some research before spouting off. Even Pacman fought early on as a flyweight, and had fought as high as welterweight. Crawford has fought at lightweight and big money fights are often arranged at catch-weights between weight classes. So it's entirely feasible.

The article is re. Inoue so not getting your Pac-rant. However, to address your points, even though Pacman was very good, he is far from the best ever. In his last 18 fights he only scored one KO, lost to several journeymen, and was KO'd cold by JMM. Those are hardly Hall of Fame stats, though I enjoyed watching him fight
