What's wrong with you PBC/Haymon fan girls? Inoue's attempting to chase greatness and you're giving him flack for it? But then you celebrate 2 year inactive guys who have a sleeper hold on belts because they're mentally frail (Justine Charlo) and fake hand injuries (Judy Charlo)? Or a guy that calls himself TBE and fights a 0-0 guy in last fight?
Terrible match-up for Inoue, he could hang with the sLomos and Haneys of the elite boxing kind but Gervona is nasty and would probably do what Montiel did to Hasegawa or Donaire to Darchinyan, carrying a much stronger body, a deadly punch and immaculate timing. I have no doubt that Monsta power will carry to at least able to hurt and probably even stop the elite as deadly timing and sniper-like accuracy gets PacMan type of results. But he's a very lean 5'5" and Gervonta is a massive block of 5'5½″, night any day difference.
I wonder if this will be like Manny Pacquiao moving up in weight, remember when people thought ODLH would destroy Pacquiao at Welterweight because of size difference ? Now I'm not saying Inoue necessarily beats Tank, but with what Pacquiao achieved you never know.
Right now, Inoue hasn't even thrown a single punch at 122, nevermind 130 and 135, so Tank should murk him (as of now). But Inoue's 5' 4" and Tank's 5' 5" and both have a listed reach of 67". If Inoue can grow into 130/135 and retain his speed, it's a winnable fight and if he looks destructive at 130, he'll beat Tank.
This is Canelo vs Usyk tier One Bivol beating later and Canelo is trying to drain a 39-year old Badou Jack Inoue could clean Fulton's clock with his first punch and he's still going to go life and death with most featherweights
Gervona has 66% chance of sparking anyone up to welterweight irregardless of skill level, he has that level of power, timing and delivery. Inoue is 4 divisions smaller. It's not about height or reach. Khan had both advantages on Clen.
Twink is only brave enough to talk about facing legit threats on Twitter. Inoue would simultaneously brutalize, terrorize, baptize, and euthanize him, if Twink ever manages to grow a pair of plums to step foot in a ring with him that is and there's about as much chance of that happening as there is of Sunny Edwards sparking out Beterbiev. The only thing about Twink I'd be worried about if I was Inoue would be him being sexually attracted to me because Twink is as fruity as a fruit salad.
Got to love Inoue's ambition, but he's not even had his debut at 122 yet, let alone talk about beating one of the top guys at 135. We don't even know if his power or speed will travel up that high. I'm pretty certain he unifies 122 and probably cleans out 126, but 130 and 135 are a stretch even for great fighters to have success in so many divisions is rare. But man if this fight ever happens, with 2 of the hardest punchers in the game, it could be a hell of a fight and makes the winner a legend.
Davis is probably the biggest puncher Inoue has ever fought.I dont wanna hear about yanaguchi, mcdonalds and Buttler.Tank Hits harder than Nonaire? With both hands.Right and left.A lot Nonoya opps cant crack an egg.Specially the hype jobs. Jaime Mcdonalds and Buttler.Davis lands oh boy.
He must plan on dying then. Tank would hurt that boy. I have no interest in this much better fights out there for both of them.
