Comments Thread For: Turki Alalshikh Ready to Make Gervonta Davis-Naoya Inoue

[Boro]

Tank won't even fight a legit champion at 35 and yet he's expecting Inoue to jump three divisions to fight him...

Let him fight a guy at 68 you know the equivalent of what Inoue would be doing aka moving through 7 divisions from the beginning of his career or some "champ "at 54 a three division jump..

It's also ironic how they mention Inoue leaving Japan and he's left Japan more times than Davis has left America...

benny v bud at 160
tank v inoue

idk seems a bit odd to me, he could be putting people in danger with his matchups

I wouldn't bite if I was Inoue. He'll be too small vs Davis and make Davis look incredible for KOing him. The casuals won't know much other than Davis took out a highly regarded Asian dude that was undefeated and had a "monster" punch. It would be disrespectable in a way, with the only consolidation for Inoue is that he'll make a heck of a lot of money with the fight while tarnishing his reputation in the process.

Why not a Loma vs Davis unification? They are in the same weight class.

Hopefully the fact that Inoue is already a money man will keep it from happening.

Guys were jumping 2 divisons for Canelo for that payday. Inoue is already making 7-8 figures

Amazing isn't it? They still won't utter Loma's name even at 37. But of course stank mentions him once he has a fight scheduled just to keep his name relevant

Tank deleted that tweet too

I love how the Saudis are making some great matchups that otherwise would have been unlikely to happen but come on now. This is a ridiculous notion.
Inoue has already stepped up multiple weight classes and now they want him to fight Tank? Why doesn't Tank take on someone his own size, like the other top ranked boxers at 135 and 140?
Of course there are people out there, Americans in particular, who really want to see Inoue beaten. It's killing them that this guy has now surpassed Crawford on most P4P lists. Personally I'm a huge Crawford fan and I think his skills are likely unsurpassed but he just isn't busy enough lately and hasn't fought the level of competition overall that Inoue has.

So weird how Tank’s fans don’t want him to fight 135 or 140lbs champs.

This. Why not Tank vs Loma ffs

[theface07]

Turki has some ****** matchups in mind. Just like crawford-benavidez.

I guess it makes sense with all that money you think you can just make any fight happen

I'd have to agree. He may be a huge boxing fan but he doesn't seem to understand the importance of weight classes, especially when you're talking about fighters 3 weight classes apart fighting each other. There are no Sam Langfords or Billy Conns nowadays and rightfully so. If guys like that were around nowadays, they'd dominate their natural weight classes since they were good enough to competition with much bigger opponents.

Another ****** idea from Turki.

Why not Tank - Loma?
