    Too much weight in between...Tank would love to take that fight still lol. Naoya ceiling is 130 at the most and thats with a significant height disadvantage on average.

          I will never understand why Tank stans will do everything possible to make fights with much smaller fighters happen, but claim guys in his own weight classes 135/140 are "unworthy".

          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.

            is amazing usyk could move up and whoop joshua considering the size difference but there cant be any sort of size difference in a fight at the lower weights, its unrealistic for them to fight.... explain that

                it is a likely insurmountable weight difference - if Inoue looks impressive getting a 130lb title and assuming he even looks good at 126 pounds - then I'd be all for a tank fight - and that's assuming that tank is still at 135 by that time.

                We saw what happened when Jermell went up to fight Canelo just a couple months ago - looked to be similar size or Mell even bigger - but if you are 5'4 at 135 or 5'8 at 168 then your bone structure is denser - you hit harder - so that is the difference - and that is why it's weight classes.

                  Inoue should tell Tank he’ll fight him at a catchweight, with a rehydration clause.

                    great fighters can overcome a few lbs difference in weight, look at pacquiao he did okay fighting people who were naturally heavier

                      tank is still young! remember that one? worked for a couple years there. these people have no shame they just constantly move the goalposts over their fandom of a figther. if you were saying hes too young 5-6 years ago you should be saying now wow i got tricked into supporting a guy who doesnt actually want to fight good fighters, instead they moved onto other excuses
