    It would prove who the best fighter at 135 lbs and below is. In a similar manner to how the heavyweight champion can claim he is the the literal best in the world as he can beat any champion at or below his weight class.

    If that kind of thing means something to you.

      So Tank should fight Inoue then right? Then he can make his claim for being the best 122lber in the world to add to his legacy.

        No, Canelo should say (and has said) what Tank said. No.

        It’s a circus fight, for marks who are fantasy booking.

        We don’t get football fans asking for some popular college team to play against the Cowboys because they’re popular.

        I don’t recall anyone asking for Jon ‘Bones’ Jones vs. Conor McGregor.

        It’s only boxing that has this mark booking going on.

        Meanwhile, guys like Crawford get a free pass to hold up the division and duck smoke that he earned.

          Inoue would certainly be the best fighter on Tank’s resume.

          But I would prefer to see him fight the best at 135.

            But Canelo fighting Crawford at 168 to prove who the best at 147 is a great achievement to you.

            Canelo is the only fighter to you who can fight people 3 weight classes lighter and it mean something and get caught taking PEDs and be "likely clean"

              It is an accomplishment, based on the idea that heavyweight champions are better than everyone at or below heavyweight. The same concept would apply to beating everyone at or below your weight class for other weights too, would it not?

              If you don’t like that concept or subscribe to it that’s fine. Just say so and keep it moving. No one wants to see you b-tch and cry about it on every non-related topic I post on.

                So you'd be ok with Fury-Inoue next then I take it?

                You've literally just criticized the idea of Tank-Inoue because he wants an advantage all whilst praising the idea of Canelo-Crawford because it would prove who the best at 147 is.

                It's they hypocrisy that's being called out and that will continue until you address your positions.

                Speaking of which, why don't you stop being the spineless coward you are and explain and justify your position that Ngannou is assuredly on PEDs and Mayweather is clean.

                Justify that stance.

                Every time you avoid that you look more and more pathetic. Have some pride and address your claim.​​​

                  Inoue is huge in Japan.

                  But Tank wants to put others at a disadvantage, not himself. I get it.

                  So I’ll settle for Gervonta fighting the best guys at his weight…but that isn’t going to happen either, is it?
                  Shoulder- Tank v Inoue would be in America. Come on dude stop.

                  There is no way Canelo would do that. There is no way Tank is gonna do that.

                  Don’t pivot to something else rather than just admitting I have a valid point.

                    I just know how skilled, and how strong Bud Crawford is, so I think it's a 60-40 fight in favor of Canelo! I think Crawford would be a tougher opponent than Munguia!

                      You dudes are too emotional being a boxing site. This is not a knock again Inoue. I am saying that he is good enough to fight at 130 while still in his prime. The more he waits the harder it will be. If you watch boxing long enough you will know some fighters even skip weight classes daring to be great. Some of you guys just love watching your favorites fighting easy fights.
