Pacquiao said,
"Inoue. Inoue is fast. Inoue's style is like when I was young."
The fight between Davis and Inoue has been a topic of discussion for a while, even though they compete in different weight classes. Davis, known as 'Tank', holds the WBA world lightweight title, while Inoue is the undisputed super-bantamweight champion.
Davis, a 30-year-old from Baltimore, has an unbeaten record through 31 professional fights. He's reportedly set for a rematch with Lamont Roach Jr on August 16 in Las Vegas, following their controversial draw in March. The official announcement is still pending.
Inoue, nicknamed 'The Monster', is a 32-year-old from Japan who turned pro in 2012. He's undefeated in 30 fights with 27 knockouts. On May 4, Inoue defended his titles against Ramon Cardenas at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. He got up from the canvas in the second round to secure a TKO victory in the eighth.
Inoue's expected to return to the ring before the end of the year. Rumors suggest he might face Murodjon Akhmadaliev, a former unified super-bantamweight champion.
Pacquiao's prediction adds fuel to the speculation about this potential super-fight. His opinion carries weight, given his status as an eight-division world champion and his experience facing top-tier opponents throughout his career.
As for Pacquiao himself, he's preparing for a surprising return to world title action against Mario Barrios. The Filipino legend's comeback has got fans excited, and his insights on current and potential matchups are drawing attention in the boxing world.
