    There's a whole generation of P4P level fighters for Tank to fight at 135/140

    Hell, Shakur, Devin, Teo, & Loma are ALL on P4P lists currently.

    He's the cash cow of American boxing & could fight any of them if he truly wanted to.
    I always know it's Inoue fight week because social media is full of casuals commenting on Inoue promotional videos with "Fight Tank or Devin you bum!"

      Dude is fighting at 122, Porky is fighting between 135-140. Unlike Porky Inoue is fighting the best in his divison, Porky should be doing the same instead of bringing up FWs in fights nobody is asking for. You are making a fool of yourself arguing for this nonsensical fight. You know what makes sense is Haney/Porky but the hype job is much too scared.

        Whenever ppl would say "Tank is Young!!!" I'd always bring up Inoue and Tanaka. Up until a couple years ago, the response is "Nobody knows who those bums are. No money bums. Tank the face! Tank the money! TANK THE TANK!!! YOUNG AND RICH BOYYYYYY!!!"

          Three weight classes apart and Inoue has only had 1 fight at 122. Give me a break troll.

              Mike Tyson and GGG are the same height.


              So I guess that's hardly some size difference.

                I know he is and that means he won't grow any bigger himself. My point was about Inoue being 30 he ain't gonna be going up to 135 or anything like that because he's said himself that it was hard for him to get to 122 and adjust himself to that weight class.

                  ****, Inoue said after the Fulton fight that he hasn't even grown into 122 yet, and expects to do so in his next couple fights

                  Dude could be undisputed and still feel he's not grown into the weight

                    Sebastian fundora is the same height as Anthony Joshua does that mean he should go up from 154 and fight Joshua at heavyweight?

                      The following fights featured fighters jumping up TWO weight classes:

                      Jermell vs Canelo
                      Brook vs GGG
                      Rigo vs Loma

                      How did those work out?

                      Expecting someone to jump 3 classes is just plain dumb. Why is this fight even being brought up?
