Bob Arum, head of the promotion company Top Rank, reacted to the victory Naoi Inoue in a confrontation with Marlon Tapales. The functionary noted that perhaps the Japanese is better than the legendary Manny Pacquiao.
“Inoue is an incredible fighter, the likes of which we haven’t seen since Manny Pacquiao. He may be even better than Pacquiao. I believe that he has a chance to reach 59 kg or even 61 kg. No, 63.5kg is too much. Look at Fulton, I was at the fight and he was much bigger than Inoue at 55 kg.”
