    The weight classes are still so far apart
    Inoue is better p4p than tank or any of his opponents, but thus far he isn't close to 130, never mind 135

    I doubt he pulls a pacquiao, as he is already getting on. I know he has some range, but I can't picture inoue at 135, I think he gets killed. I think he's brilliant so would love to be wrong, but tank would murder him, provided he ain't drained. Too strong, too thick

    Tank would get KO'd by every single person on Inoue's resume. That I do know.

    Most of Tank's recent competition would finish Inoue. The size difference is simply too much.

    Right now the weight disparity is simply too great, we don't even know how he will look at 122 let alone 135. So speculating how he does in a division 4 divisions up from where we've seen him fight is just bonkers.

    It's like asking how would Crawford or Spence do vs Beterbiev or Bivol's opposition. That's how ludicrous a question it is right now.

    Inoue is a fantastic fighter but it's highly unlikely he has success above 126 in my opinion, fighters like Pac are very, very rare, not even one per era, we might not see another fighter moving up the weights like that for another 40-50 years.

    Davis defeated former featherweight world titleholder Cristobal Cruz (40–18–4, 24 KOs), bantamweight to featherweight isn`t impossible Manny proved that.

    Do you think Inoue could beat anybody at super feather? Manny moved up from bantam to super-feather.

    I do think it's possible for Inoue to have success at 126, but above that we talking about Manny level and fighters like him simply don't come around that often.

    As I said, just because Manny did it, doesn't mean Inoue can do it, if it was that easy more fighters would of done it and Inoue isn't as big as Manny. Manny first world title was at 112 at 19 years of age, Inoue's was at 108 at 20 years of age.

    Inoue winning a title at Super feather would mean he's gone from light fly at 108 to 130 spanning 7 weight divisions. That's a feat only Manny has achieved.

    We need to see how Inoue looks at 122 and 126 before we even think about 130 and above. I think at 126 there isn't such a big size disparity once Inoue fills out but above that he's fighting significantly bigger men.

    The only they Tank could fight Inoue's resume is at 112-118, therefore they all KO the mummified corpse of Tank. Such is the absurdity of your thread.

    In addition to losing to Tank himself, he'd lose to: Santa Cruz, Cruz, Garcia, Pedraza and Barrios. Very likely the majority of men on his resume TBH. I want you guys to start being realistic...............

    This answer has no bearing on who is the better, more elite boxer, but Jesus guys.........be serious. :ohno Size matters

    Nah. He was a corpse and was knocked out to the body in training camp.
