Inoue Naoya vs. Boxing Legends: How His Punching Power Compares to Sonny Liston, George Foreman, and Mike Tyson

Question from the reader:
Inoue Naoya is a lightweight fighter, but how does he compare to KO punchers like Sonny Liston, George Foreman, and Mike Tyson? Does his punching power reach that level?

Comparison of Inoue Naoya and KO Punchers

Recently, there has been a lot of buzz around Inoue Naoya. Despite being a lightweight, his punching power and technique are truly impressive. Personally, I’m not very knowledgeable about boxing, but when I watched his fights, I was captivated by his overwhelming strength.

Speed and Power in the Lightweight Division

It’s
certainly difficult to directly compare Inoue’s punching power to that of heavyweight fighters like Liston, Foreman, and Tyson, but I believe his style and technique are exceptional within the lightweight division. The fact that he can deliver punches that can knock opponents out even over their guard is nothing short of astonishing. The first time I watched Inoue fight, I was with a friend. As the match progressed, my friend kept saying, “This guy is insane!” We both couldn’t help but shout when he landed that final punch. It felt like we were in the ring ourselves.

Diversity of KO Punchers

Of course, the punching power of heavyweight fighters is remarkable as well. Each fighter has their own unique style and characteristics, and the ways they achieve KOs vary. Tyson’s overwhelming speed and power, Foreman’s endurance and size… in comparison, Inoue is agile, with precise attacks. Watching his fights feels like witnessing art in motion.

My Boxing Watching Style

By the way, when I watch boxing, I always prepare a lot of snacks. I sometimes end up eating too much, but the combination of the excitement of the match and the snacks makes for a fantastic time. However, I often find the snack bag empty by the end of the match, so I’m thinking I might need to hold back a little next time. Finally, what memories or thoughts do you have while watching Inoue and other boxers? Please share in the comments!
