Comments Thread For: Naoya Inoue Would Get Destroyed By Gervonta Davis, Says Assistant Trainer

Well, that's rather unfair, of course Tank is bigger and a more powerful puncher than Inoue.

I actually have seen people calling him "Chinaman" or "The Jap" on these forums. Thinly veiled racisim.

I think chinaman is normal talk some certain groups. I had somebody say that right in front of me and was like yo watch your mouth. Dude seemed genuinely confused. I realized he didn't really think it was an insult so i kinda just ignore now.

I have seen small asian midgets a few times around here. But for me it's not even what they say. When has one group demande that a fighter move up and fight a much bigger fighter of the same group after already beating a bigger member of that group. NEVER. thats when.

Besides why nobody is that devision gunning for the belts. What's all these cross weight cross gender and cross sports talk? Wtf is wrong with these new breeds.

How is this being entertained? Inoue looked small against Fulton! Davis is too big, fast and powerful....oh, he's also really good! No contest. He knocks out the monster within 3.

Dumb fight. I get Pacquiao did it, but Pac did it carefully. Inoue can keep going up in weight but he needs to probably choose carefully after 130lbs. And Tank will not be at 135lbs forever, he’s probably due for a permanent move to 140lbs.

For example at 135, Pacquiao picked David Diaz over Casamayor or Campbell.

An example of an “easier” opponent like David Diaz, would have been Kambosos. Very winnable opponent for Inoue. I also think that Stevenson, because he lacks pop, is a fight Inoue can lose without taking too much damage.

And this is just a thought, but I wonder if Inoue can catch Lomachenko old enough to beat him. The way he looked vs Haney, he’s still got it.

Why is even a discussion considering that Inoue has reached his weight ceiling or might have a capacity to only do up to 126 and no more. The desperation to destroy his legacy has people having silly fantasies

I think his ceiling is 130 and maybe 135, he was ripped going up this time I don't see any reason why he cant build up, Fulton was talking about going up before this fight and Inoue looked as big or bigger than Fulton.

I would say Fulton has better movement than Tank. Tank has better timing and release than Fulton. Inoue has better movement, timing and better release than Tank. Tanks advantage is he has a ko punch and I don't think Inoue can KO him (but maybe get a tko late in fight due to attrition and ref stoppage). Sounds absurd but I do see a possible window for an Inoue victory.

This would essentially be a Fury Wilder 1 matchup (before Fury fought aggressive). Essentially Inoue would have to be perfect 100% time and Tank only has to be perfect once.

It's a case of a great bigger fighter beating a great smaller boxer. Both talented and powerful. The bigger boxer beat the smaller one. No contest and I'm a big Inoue fan!

It's like ahh Fulton didn't beat him so let's throw him against tank. Why? Hes barely just got to 122lbs why he's gonna move up and fight a lightweight just so he gets beat and fans can say ahhh he wasnt that good anyway and look how great tank is because he's beat this much smaller man who happens to be pound for pound number 2. Tank has guys in his own weight class he should be looking to fight why do people wanna see him beat a much smaller man just so they can see he was a hype job or something when he's definitely not he's one of the best fighters in boxing today but it doesn't mean he should recklessly go through weight classes just so people can have there fantasy fights

The talk about Tank v Inoue is getting aggravating.

I don’t understand why so many want to knock Inoue’s accomplishments. We should be celebrating it.

I also dont get why those that hate Haymon and Floyd are so jealous of how they built Tank into a real draw. Just admit you were wrong and let it go.
