    Tank should just focus on fighting a top fighter in his weight class for once, without any advantages.

    He's getting old and done next to nothing in his career.

    Inoue's resume is overrated on here but it's still a good resume with good, top fighters on it. Tank has beaten basically no one.

      Time in on Inoue's side. What is the hurry? Shouldn't Tank at least try to fight Loma? Or is he still frightened?

        Tank is a protected fighter imo. Your right... but would still love to see that fight!

          Tank might as some point consider legacy... Loma is good, Inoue also.

            Old?! Goodness.
            Done next to nothing? How much money you making. 27 KOs in 29 fights is not “next to nothing”. I understand your point you’re getting at. But let’s keep it realistic

              I would love to see Loma pull out one last great performance against the massive power puncher, Tank. It would be so satisfying to see the great Loma defeat him.

                If Inoue was the first top fighter Tank fought, it would cap off an exemplary career of frauding.

                Incredible fraud committed so far

                  is fighting a guy several weight classes below him really a stab at legacy? There are weight classes for a reason.

                    I make decent money. Not as much as Tank unfortunuately.

                    How many ranked fighters in the weight class being fought in has Tank even beaten? I think it's about 4.

                    He hasn't beaten any in the Top 5.

                    It's not great is it.
