      if they were the same size as larger men would it make any difference if they were the same size as smaller men?

        Its a silly game.

        Your size is a big factor in your biomechinics, which determines your style and skill set.

        Inoue at 135 naturally means his body mechanics may not do some things he does now, so its only Inoue in name, not the fighter as we know him.

        That's why p4p is nonsense too. If Crawford was a heavyweight, his entire biomechinics are different which means he can't do most of the things he does now. So you'd be talking about a completely different fighter.

          It would be a great fight. They’re both 5’5”, I wonder if Tank can make 130lbs and Inoue can move up to 130 without getting fat.

          Anyway stylistically, Inoue feasts on fighters who come forward, lunge in, open up a lot to attack him. Tank doesn’t do this, he’s primarily a boxer and counterpuncher who happens to punch really hard. Tank’s style is to move around the ring, box, and counter. It would be a very tough fight. I think Tank’s ring IQ is very underrated. Some people talk about him like he’s Brandon Rios or something. He uses his footwork a lot and he loved to stay back and counter.

            but we have to pretend he can do those things at any weight, like we pretend they are the same size

            its basically a game of pretend

              If they were the same size, Inoue would be added to the list of fighters Tank hasn't fought, Stevenson, Haney, Lopez, who else?

              Don't you want to see Stevenson vs Tank first?

                    Short arms isn’t an advantage in boxing.

                      You can't knockout someone you would avoid fighting. It's impossible.
