Comments Thread For: Naoya Inoue Admits Gervonta Davis Fight Is Unlikely, Praises Him As P4P Worthy

This is doable. If Inoue wants to chase Pacman’s legacy, he should take this fight.

Size mean alot but it isnt end all. All the big guys couldnt beat Pacman yet a small Marquez was his Kryptonite.

One of snow white’s seven dwarfs Cruz was able to hang in there with Davis. Inoue would do alot better.

Pacquao is significantly larger than Inoue. Below is his first fight at 130 FFS

Another thing to note, Pac is 27 here. Inoue is currently 30 and just moved to 122. I just don't see how he'll be able to move up to 135. Do we know how much he rehydrates?

every boxer physically peaks around 29-31.
after that, you would start to notice decline in performance.

It's too late for Inoue to jump and fight Tank.
It would only look like Rigo vs Loma.

I don't know the number, but I don't think it's that much considering he originally stated he didn't see himself fighting past 118 during the WBSS tournament. (Said it was likely his limit and that his goal was to be the GOAT bantamweight)

EDIT - I got curious and did some googling. saw someone on reddit say he hydrated to 130 against Fulton. Not sure if that's true or not though.

He doesnt have the frame. But he is so much better than his peers that it would be interesting to see how far he can move up.

Weight classes are usually set in place for a fighter's safety and to prevent gross mismatches. Naoya Inoue, however, doesn't seem to abide by those rules.

Well the article misquoted Davis record, got it confused with Inoue record so not impressed with commentary after that.
