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

[famicommander]

What the hell does Inoue need Davis for anyway?

Inoue just freaking sold out the Tokyo Dome and has his pick of several ranked contenders and former/current world titlists to fight at and around his current weight (Goodman, Akhmadaliev, Casimero, Aleem, Doheny, Nakatani, Vargas, Figueroa, Lopez, Espinoza, Ball, Ford, Nishida, etc). He's 9-0 against TBRB top 5 opposition.

Tank, meanwhile, is about to face his first TBRB top 5 opponent in his 30th pro fight (#5 Frank Martin).

Yeah, why not Benavidez vs Lomachenko, then...

Who wants to see an excellent little guy be outgunned by a decent much bigger guy? It's an insult to the sport, and to the smaller fighters who work to rise to the top in their respective divisions.

It's reduces top tier boxing to bullying, and being bullied, for large sums.

This sheik makes good press for himself with some (what have become) dream fights, but then looks like a complete idiot with this nonsense.

I appreciate Turki putting money in boxing but like Roger (RIP) would say, that mfer don’t know shi.t about boxing. Trying to get folks killed when there are more realistic fights to put money behind.

Man, that was just irony...

Hyperbole, actually. But the comparison is close enough. Canelo vs Crawford is the same thing.

[BustedKnuckles]

Why doesn't Tank take on someone his own size, like the other top ranked boxers at 135 and 140?

Yeah, just fight the best boxers at his weight. Let alone moving up, like all the other champs seem to be doing, and seem to be expected to do, these days.

[A.B Counterhooks]

Forget about this one fellas, way too much weight in between....not gonna happen it wouldn't be fair.

Make it at 126 w/a rehydration caluse

As if Tank is ever going to drag his fat ass down to 126. He could barely make 130.
