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

tank seems like a simpleton i doubt he even knows who inoue is and when he found out he wouldnt really want the fight. remember this is the guy that shamelessly ducked tevin farmer

He probably has an IQ under 70 and his fans are a few points below that I'm guessing by reading what they write everyday on Twitter and on here.

Fight tank at 126 and make him sign a rehydration clause. I got inoue by knock out if those were the terms. Easy

[Robi13]

crawford should fight canelo, they are the same height!!

And you know what’s crazy well not crazy if you know boxing and basic math, the jump from 122 to 135 which is 13 pounds would be the exact same jump as if you would go from 147 to 168 even though that is 21 pounds. It’s still three weight classes. Only thing is bud been established at 47 and may already be done with that weight as opposed to inoue who just came to 122 so it’d be more of a accomplishment for inoue to do it then bud in my opinion but both would have their work cut out for them if they did that… also add to the fact that canelo is a small 68 and inoue a small 122 bud a big 47 and tank a big 35. So yup

Actually, there's a clip from maybe a year ago (or longer, I think it was before the Butler fight) that really surprised me. Tank was in the gym with some of his trainers (not Calvin) and the interviewer asked about Inoue, and the trainers said they had no idea who he was and never heard of him, and Tank jumped up all surprised and said "You haven't seen Monster?!?" and started showing him videos from his phone and raving about punch selection. It actually made me like Tank because in that instance he was like a ten year old who just really loved boxing, no BS ego or persona that boxers have.

He does know who he is. There's been a few videos of tank the past couple of years off him praising Inoue/watching highlights of his fights in the gym and saying he's one of the best fighters in the world and if he could pick anyone to fight in boxing it would be Inoue. That's why all that talk started from the tank fans not realising about weight classes saying inoue should fight tank eventually.

[Boxing2695]

Thats why if it were to happen, it should at 128.

Yeah but is tank gonna fight a guy at a weight he hasn't fought at since he was like 17 in like 2-3 years time so he'll be what 32-33 then aswell. Just not practical and they just should move on from the talk about it because even Inoue himself knows it ain't viable

Yeah that video in the gym he was really giving Inoue praise and then he did a interview before the Garcia fight and they asked him if he could fight anyone in boxing if he could and he said it would be Inoue

Saying that Inoue should fight Tank at 135 because they are both the same height is like someone being dumb enough to claim that Tank should lose 13 pounds and come down to 122 to fight Inoue for undisputed title after Tapales. After all, they are both the same height so if Inoue can make 122 at age 30 then why can't Tank make 122 at age 29? /s

By the way, in all honesty I'm not truly sure if Inoue is really 5'5". Forget the body size difference, the simple height difference between Fulton who's supposedly 5'7" seemed like it was a bit more than 2 inches...unless Fulton's profile was wrong and he's actually taller. Of course he's making the weight (which is what matters in boxing) so its not bad or wrong in any way, but just my observations.

Stop with all that logic. Tank fans are going to have a panic attack.

Stop with all that logic. Tank fans are going to have a panic attack.

Actually, while looking at some heights of the current champions I came up with a masterplan to make Tank a true ATG:
126 Luis Lopez 5'4" (Robeisy was 5'5" but he lost to Espinoza)
122 Naoya Inoue 5'5"
118 Jason Moloney 5'5"
115 Kazuto Ioka 5'5"
112 Artem Dalakian 5'5"
108 Kenshiro Teraji 5'4 1/2"

Tank already has belts at 130, 135, and 140 (even a "Regular" belt at 135/140 still counts as a belt). However since he doesn't seem to want to face anyone heavier than him nowadays, he should instead start going down in weight and get 6 more weight divisions to become the first undefeated nine division titlist in history of boxing, surpassing both Mayweather and Pac at the same time.
