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

[User Name HERE]

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.

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

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

I actually have a great idea...wait a few years until Inoue goes undisputed in 126, and in the mean time have Tank go back down to 130 and become undisputed there, and then let them meet at catchweight 129 at the end of 2027.

It is already expected that Inoue will go up to 126 around 2025 after he goes undisputed against Tapales then defeats the likes of Nery and MJ. With champions eagerly lining up to face him already even before he's up to 126, he should have no trouble getting the 4 belts lined up and be able to become undisputed in 126 by the summer of 2027.

Tank is currently at 135, but started in 130 and already has experience going back down in weight from 140 to 135. It is not crazy uncommon for even champions to choose to go back in weight and since Tank hasn't grown taller from when he was at 130, he just needs to shed 5 pounds which isn't that hard to go back to 130 by 2025. There he can become the first undisputed super featherweight in the four belt era. He has won multiple belts at 130 including his best win of his career against Pedraza, so we already know he can excel at 130. Like Inoue, given Tank's cash cow status it should be easy to get all four title fights lined up, and should be also able to go undisputed by summer of 2027 as well.

With both being undisputed, 34 yrs old undisputed featherweight champion Inoue vs 33 yrs old undisputed super featherweight champion Tank Davis should be an absolute ****er. Both still not too old, similar age, have same height and reach, and should have settled into their respective weight class already. So from there Inoue only has to gain 3 pounds which he's done multiple times already in his career. while Tank just needs to shed 1 pound in half a year which should be very easy.

Disclaimer: I am being sarcastic and saying multiple extremely idiotic stuff on purpose.

tank would knock him the **** out thats why.... they are the same height no excuse for it not to happen is hardly david v goliath if you look at their photos

You are the IDIOT of the year.

tank is huge inoue fan.

its the inoue haters who want him to jump 3 wgt classes, because he steamrolled their boy fulton.
even tank said he’s too big to fight him.
