Virgil never asked that of ward

[_Rexy_]

Is that on the paper or what the scale read last fights ?

What??

His next fight is at 115. He had three title fights at 115 already, all in 2022. Why does it matter what his last fight was at when discussing a fight that doesn't even exist?

I love the argument that “Manny did it, so why can’t Inoue?” Yeah let’s use the most extreme statistic to prove a point. One guy out of thousands moved up this many divisions, so this guy should too. Manny was already fighting at a higher weight at an earlier age (pretty sure). The notion that it’s “only 10 pounds,” is dumb for someone who’s moved up that much already. At what point is too much? It’s only 10, then 11, 12 and so on. There inevitably becomes a limit. It’d be great to see how high he can go but it’s amazing how much is now being expected of him, while the absolute bare minimum is expected of others.

When Manny was the age Inoue is now, he had already fought at 135

Formula is difference over original.

Hence the 27 pounds separating 108 and 135 is a 25% increase.

130*1.25 would give 162.5. So you had the right weights but not the right percentages.

But it's not quite that simple, which is part of why the weight classes are separated the way they are, and why there is exactly one guy who has become an 8 division world champion, or seven. Only 2 6 division champs. Btw, if Inoue gets a title at 126, that will be across 6 weight classes. And that's without cherry picking or leaving any viable contenders or belts behind in two weight classes, if he can finish conquering 122. No tuneups. No A-side rehydration clauses or catchweights. Just who's the best guy on the night against the best available competition, for his entire career.

Manny was 7. I'm not sure why he suddenly gets credit for winning a 140 title

Thought so. Wasn’t sure what class but was fairly confident he was above Inoue at this age. Makes that guys argument all the worse.

The BS lay in the idea Inoue cannot move up 10 pounds, its possible if he chooses to try.

Your claim " My issue" and then finish with " I'm 100% right whether you like it or not" is fan stuff, Im against fans against it, why would any fan be against that fight, or TC vs Canelo, Id like to see Bam Bam fight Inoue and he has got to go up more than 10lbs , I dont expect any of them to do it thats their decision but if its mentioned Im all for these fights.

Like I said. Tank has fish to fry that he never has, and at this rate NEVER will.

It is what it is.

The fact of the matter is Inoue DOESN'T need Tank for his legacy.

Let's push the best to fight the best within their respective divisions. Inoue isn't ducking Tank.

By the way Roadblock

As a Tank fan, you should press him to fight the people who he should be fighting. Tank fans think everyone is ducking him.

You don't count beating the lineal and Ring champ? As far as I'm concerned, that's just as credible, if not more so, than the alphabet organizations. I don't rate the IBO, but Hatton was the man at 140. It's certainly more credible than, say, a WBA (regular/world).

Its not even about that its about the possibility of Inoue fighting him Im no more a fan of one or the other they both great fighters I enjoy watching, if it happens great same if Davis would fight the big fights that would be great to, I dont really care I cant effect anything so I just enjoy the boxing as it unfolds.

What do you mean what lol, In simplified terms, their last fights weighins were Bam Bam was 111 pounds , Inoue was 121, that appears to be 10 pounds between them right?

Stop trying to play “gotcha” on a fight that doesn’t even exist. Bam has moved up to 115, and is not returning to 112.
