NAOYA INOUE & MANNY PACQUIAO: SHAWN PORTER COMPARES IF THEY ARE SIMILAR & EXPLAINS INOUE’S POWER

Two-time world champion Shawn Porter sits with me and discusses how similar his former sparring partner, the legendary Manny Pacquiao and the current pound-for-pound superstar, undisputed super bantamweight champion, Naoya Inoue, are.
Interview done by The Porter Way Podcast & Sean Zittel KZbin channel.

[@tchlin]

This is a dumb comparison. Pacquiao fought margarito at 165 lbs when he weighed 144lbs Inoue is great but I believe he won't go above 126lbs maybe. 130lbs. Pacman was skinny. Coming up cause he was malnourished and broke af.

[@JeffPenaify]

only reason Pacquiao was a flyweight was because of his malnourishment, once money came in for him he outgrew the low divisions by considerable amount in short time. Pacquiao had the genetic potential to be much heavier and maintain his coordination. Its the combination of those factors that make Pacquiao the once in a lifetime example that he is, and why no other boxer in history of the sport competed at high level in same divisions he did. Poverty and youth is main reason he was a flyweight and not a 122-126 lb fighter as a teen

[@unkn0wn_persona545]

Pacman being skinny is something most people forget

[@pandabear1576]

Don’t forget he was also 15 boxing lol. Even Floyd said at the same age he too was making 115 pounds

[@bjuganda7758]

Yeah, not many know or just forget the fact that Pacquiao was in poverty and was skinny in his youth. He started fighting at 16(lying that he was 18) and was putting rocks in his pocket to fight properly. Once he was earning the money, his growth spurt was amazing and he became a natural welterweight

[@warmtoiletseat5596]

Pacquiao is just on a whole another level. Inoue is great tho, but doesn't compare to Pacquiao.

[@MobBless97]

Its simple where the power comes from Naoya Inoue said it himself and its literally what shawn said Naoya said , " My power come from my speed and timing but most important the precision of my punch." Naoya also said in an interview from 2019 " If i were to to hit a still object I wouldnt hit hard there are people who can hit harder on a still object. However that not what boxing is. Its about moving and having you timing and distance, with speed and hitting your opponent with the punch they dont see. Thats where the Knockout comes from." Also in this same interview Naoya showed on camera and said his grip strength is lower than the average Japanese man . " I also practice the basics no matter what form and technique" Naoya Inoue speaks for himself so there isnt a Wheres the power come from Naoya has already said it

[@SeanZittel]

Appreciate you sharing.

[@DaJump11]

Funny enough, Fulton confirms this in his post fight interview against Inoue. He said that it wasn't the power that got him but the timing that led to his KO. At the time, I actually thought he was just trying to passively discredit Inoue's power, but this actually helps clarifies things for me. Good insight though @MobBless97

[@JeffPenaify]

@@DaJump11Inoue got the gift of heavy hands, obviously his craft accentuates it but punching power is so complicated and hard to define you can only refer to it as a “gift”. You can see him as a small kid in amateurs knocking other kids out, no matter how crisp your timing speed and technique is, only a gifted fighter can do that consistently through 14 oz gloves and headgear. You can hear the impact on his shots, the guy was naturally blessed and honed his talent to its sharpest point.

[@pandabear1576]

@@DaJump11I mean when you at watch it back Inoue hit him super fast after the body shot distracted him

[@DaJump11]

@@pandabear1576 That's what Fulton said during the post fight interview. "The shot that he did land. I didn't see it. He threw the jab to the body and then came on top of the face right hand. So it wasn't so much of the power it was so the timing of the shot." I remember watching it initially back then and thought Fulton was passively downplaying Inoue's power. But, after seeing OP's post, it gave me a new perspective on Fulton's interpretation on what actually led to the knockdown. I'm not saying Inoue's power had no factor in the KO, but what eventually led to the KO was the timing.

[@DaveN80]

Manny fought legends on the way up and was a five time lineal champ before he got to ww. Inoue is a great talent but he needs the competition to compare him to manny. Love watching Inoue

@@NTR-Impact not over hyped at all but it’s hard to make a clear comparison to Manny and to be honest there may never be another Manny Pacquiao. Dude fought a hole second career at ww almost two divisions above his natural weight chasing Floyd. Inoue is an immense talent and smart IQ boxer. It’s a shame he may not have the competition to build a resume that lives up to his abilities. He may have to continue to climb divisions to do so but end up finding that weight where size meets talent to balance it. Casuals will say he was exposed if he loses but in reality he’s gonna hit that wall like every p4p does.

Pacman and Inoue has two different legacies. Pacman never got undisputed and i dont think Inoue will be able to fight at welterweight divisions and heavier just like what pacman did .he must first get through the lightweight kings before that happen. Pacmans mechanics comes from his feet and fast punches thats why he keeps winning in heavier div but rarely knocking out people while inoue relies on knocking out opponents and precision of punches. The real question is can the monster carry his power to heavier divisions

[@elel2608]

Pac’s legacy is beating names like Barrera, Morales, Marquez, Hatton, Cotto, De La Hoya, Margarito, Bradley, Mosley, and Thurman and breaking the most records in boxing. Inoue’s legacy is dominance against good competition. I think that’s what’s he’s going for.

By 25 pac had already climbed 6 weight divisions and fighting legends. Inoue is not even close to that. More comparable to Donaire.

inoue cannot moveup on weight anymore as you can see when he get down. What more at 126 lbs? If he missed again he will sleep at 126

Inoue beat unknown boxer's, Donaire maybe who is not in his prime, Pacquiao beat all legend in all boxing weight class, but both have similarities they're both Asians😂.

[@Gazz.z]

similarities? they're both Asian that's it. You can't really compare the two. Pac fought all the greatest boxer in his era, dude started at flyweight and won a belt in junior middleweight. He beating guys who's bigger than him. Besides old donaire, Inoue fought nobody.. so comparing Inoue to pacquiao is like comparing Brony to LeBron. You can't do that.

[@jakosalem]

Is Inoue climbs to welterweight, then that's the time for debate. Until then its all hype.

[@reinnierclaveria6951]

inoue may be considered monster but manny was considered a devil when he fought mexicans and manny is much more bad ass because at the time he was 31 years old or on he's way up to weight classes he was fighting much more bigger and heavier puncher boxer than inoue has fought , and to add that manny hasnt ducked any opponent in his whole career , what about inoue why hasnt he fought casimero? im not saying he's scared but why he ducked casimero tho?

[@reinnierclaveria6951]

manny has also greater chin than inoue

[@Yiren666]

Inoue didn't ducked Casimero, Casimero is the one who ducked Inoue, he has a mandatory defense against Butler but guess what he ducked Butler with some stupid excuses, his belt was stripped, that's the time where his career gone downhill, also if he did beat Butler, the fight between them is very possible, yeah not to mention he left MP. and that is why that flomo got no fights lol.

[@reinnierclaveria6951]

I love Inoue but he cannot go above 126lbs and be successful. 130lbs at this point is too much for him. Pacquiao fought and won at 154lbs.

minimum weight up to 135 is like 6-7 divisions, how did you do the 8 division math @135 pounds?

Pacquiao should've been 10th division. He skipped 2 weightclasses because fellow Filipinos were the champs at that time and he didn't wanna fight his countrymen.

[@DinosaurT7785]

Inoue will not even.come up even to 126 bec he knows that he will get KOed in higher division. See that left from Nery? That's the weight factor of him going one division heavier. He is no where near Manny's greatness.

Inoue is a weight bully just like Haney. Inoue's real weight is between 135-147lbs depending on wbo will be his opponent. Anyone can be the monster if they are fighting in lower weight class.

[@Fadeddreams5]

His walkaround weight is 140lb. That doesn't mean he's a jr welterweight. Not how it works. 🤦 At 126lb, those guys will eclipse Inoue. There's literally a 6'1 champion there who actually IS a weight bully.

[@ebola_virus1966]

@@Fadeddreams5 That is why Manny jump off two weight classes after super-bantamweight because there is no more opponents in that division during his time. While Inoue is fighting everybody even though there are more a lot of real challenge in the next weight classes.

[@SorianoBoys]

I agree people are prideful trying to defend Inoue, not saying tank will outclass him or be more skilled, but if tank lands on Inoue the way Nery did it’s over, I think P4P Inoue is the better fighter for sure, just not big enough to beat tank.

[@joelsonsabado9206]

tanks cant wven make 135 comfortably, if tank moves up to fight twrrance crawford he'll get murdered for sure

[@Dexterous559]

Also, we all know during #Pacman prime, Mayweather was ducking him!💯 All those PED testing tactics Mayweather was using was to stall the long run because Mayweather knew he could've gotten knock out by #Pacman. Same goes for Tank, the #Monster WILL stand toe to toe with him and we'll see who gets the DUBB.

[@ExamineeNumber0052]

Inoue the turtle is nowhere near Pacquaio. Inoue is not even close to the mexican legends Marco Antonio Barrera, Erik Morales and Juan Manuel Marquez. Inoue is just fighting opponents he can't beat easily in his home country. he never tried fighting dangerous opponents, something Pacquiao, Marquez, Morales and Barrera did in their career. Inoue is just pure hype for the business purpose of Bob Arum

[@NTR-Impact]

Same thoughts. While Inoue is great, I don't think he can win against Marco Antonio Barrera. Thus can't be compared to Pacquiao.

[@meow-ic6gz]

pacquiao came from flyweight into junior middleweight and still compete so good he's still considered the greatest after moving in 8 weight divisions whilst inoue is too strong for his weight division and still fighting in it 😂😂😂
