Great boxer, but i wish he would step up and fight someone like Tank , time to move up like Usyk and Bud did...All the greats did..And has he ever fought outside of Japan? Thats a huge advantage, just saying

Let Tank comed down to 122.
Tank LOST to a 130 Pound Roach. He sucks and hasn't face anyone. No Loma, No Teo, No Shakur..Has never Unified, Never been Undisputed.

Why didn't Tank go up to 147 and face Crawford? YDKSAB. Indoe fought out of Japan MULTIPLE TIMES.

Has KO everyone at his weight class. Surelly the face of Boxing. 2 Time Undisputed, 4 Division Champ.

Sad truth is that right now more members of the general public know Schmex & Fast Ed better than any fighters.

It's still a whoooole lotta people here in the UK that even in 2025 can literally ONLY name AJ & do not know the names of any other fighters smh.

ONE HAS TO BE FAMOUS TO BE THE FACE OF ANYTHING GLOBALLY SIGNIFICANT & sadly, outside of Japan... Inoue just isn't :/

You haven't been paying attention. He's fought outside of Japan several times. In the US and in Scotland.
And he has moved up. He started at 108. Then 115, 118, now 122. Soon, he will move up to 126. Even greats have a limit. Inoue will probably not go beyond 126. No reason to try to go all the way up to 135. Tank has plenty of good competition at his own weight, but he's too much of a cherry picker to face them.

Talk of tank fighting inoue such nonsense, tank has done nothing to deserve even being considered to fight Inoue even if they were closer in weight.

Inoue is the saviour of boxing, enjoy this ATG, now the casuals have picked up on him, next level.

New face of boxing downed by a Doordash driver walks around at light welter, best win against ~ 40 y/o Donaire.

Anyone that discredits his greatness just does not really understand his greatness in the ring. That said, I think he is simply too small to be the face of boxing. In USA at least, folks don't really get pumped about the little guys.

This Davis nonsense is from haters that just wanna see that man lose so they can discredit him anyway possible. Dude already done moved up 4 divisions and they want him to move up 3 more? He's already small for 122 and it has shown since he's moved up. Dudes just needa get outta their feelings and just enjoy a great, active fighter that fights the best he can within his limits. He's fought alot of good fighters and made them look average. Most of these "fans" don't even watch the lower weights. That's their fault. Gotta watch more boxing.
