Comments Thread For: Gervonta Davis Shuts Down Talk of Fighting Naoya Inoue: 'He's [Nowhere] Near My Weight'

I like how Tank haters have been thrown off by this and don’t know whether to hate him or praise him for it but since they hate him, they complain about it.

Ain't it funny how soon as you mention Tank's name these lil teenage groupies get their panties soaking wet when someone mentions their favorite heartthrob's name. These bythes are soooo jealous of the Tankster's position in boxing. You notice Canelo is in the same position where he can pick and choose who, when and where he fights (as he should) and they have nothing to say about that. HAHA Do yo thang TankTank keep these bytcthes off balance!

Well yeah, weight classes for a reason.

Weird to me that if you bring up Rigo/Loma, people will say "That's not fair, Rigo had to go from 122 to 130! That fight shouldn't be taken seriously." And now they want a fighter who started at 105, currently at 122 to jump to 135

I'm not a tank fan but good for him for shooting that down. His loser fan base is grasping at any fight other than the tough ones at his own weight class.

Some of the dudes who’ve posted about haters come off suspect af. Let the man have his hate it goes hand in hand with success, almost about as bad as pocket watching and gossiping. You new gen dudes soft af.

And in the modern era, with up to a 20lb swing or more from weigh-in to fight night, this parroted saying doesn't have half the clout it once did.

Minor details but it was from 108 (not 105)to 115, 118, then the current 122.

By the way, I think the only semi-realistic way a fight between Tank and Inoue would ever occur is IF Tank decides to come down to 130 and fight there for a few years while Inoue takes a few years in 126, then they agree to meet at a CW of 128 with rehydration clause somewhere around 2028 when Inoue is 35 and Tank is 34. However, that is also unrealistic as I don't see Tank ever coming back down to 130 regardless of Inoue.

Right, light fly, not Straw. I keep doing that for some reason.

But I agree, I have zero interest in this fight. To me a catch weight is for guys 1 class apart to meet half way. These guys have too much weight between them to fight without one of them having an unfair advantage.

It's sad that Tank has to come out and quell these rumors because his dumbass fan base keeps trying to force a fight between a 122lb fighter and 140lb fighter.
