To be able to be a world champion or to fight as a champion in [multiple] divisions, you must be able to be always moving.“It’s not easy for an opponent to fight a style like that, where the fighter is always moving – everywhere, to all the corners and side to side.“He reminds me when I was young, in my 20s. Always moving. Never staying in one place.”Inoue has already achieved a sensational list of feats in his career so far, including reigning as undisputed champion in two separate weight classes.‘The Monster’ is a sensational fighter with frightening power and elite technical ability.Inoue is Pacquiao’s favourite fighter to watch right nowGettyAnd he is in the upper echelon of the boxing fraternity’s pound-for-pound list.Like Pacquiao he also is a true superstar, particularly in his native Japan where he regularly competes.Some huge fights could be around the corner for Inoue including a unification with Junto Nakatani and a meeting with Briton’s Nick Ball.For Pacquiao he too incredibly is expected to have a big year in the ring.He has astonishingly announced his comeback from retirement aged 46.‘Pac Man’ will face the huge challenge of WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios in a surprise world title shot on July 19.Top RankInoue is undefeated and is one of boxing’s biggest names[/caption]There are justifiable concerns for the Filipino icon’s health, given he was badly beaten in his last fight five years ago.But the veteran believes he will show everyone the best version of himself in his return.He said: “I always stay in shape, but once I started seriously working out again, I realized that I still had that passion and ability in me,“I went to my doctor and everything was perfect.
