Overall and if you look at the boxers for both Inoue vs. Goodman, even though Goodman is superior to Inoue and from the several fights they have had,
Superior?! how did it happen? I checked Goodman's boxing record, and I don't see any prominent name except Doheny; he has good movement but lacks power for his opponent to have a huge respect, everybody thinks that this is a cherry picked fight, you cannot cherry pick a superior guy I don't know what in area where Godman has advantage over Inoue, can you tell me where?
@YOSHIE here might not be following this division closely since he's saying Goodman is superior, whereas Inoue is actually the undisputed champion, and Goodman is just a mandatory challenger. But maybe he’s got a different basis for his claim, and I'd also like to know more about that.
A detailed analysis is good when you think the other way instead what the majority will think the result will be, The only comparison I can see is Doheny, whom Goodman beat via unanimous decision but Inoue stopped via TKO in round 7 if you study the highlights of the two fights.
Its obvious that Doheny cannot keep up with the power and speed of Inoue, while Doheny shows no respect on his power; its just Doheny is slow and has a hard time catching Goodman
Here are the highlights of the two fighters, I'd like to be corrected with my analysis
