    He beat Fulton? That's worse than beating Ryan Garcia.

    He beat Donaire? The truth is he got his face cracked against a shell of a guy who hadn't had a good win in like six years other than the Burnett fluke to prop him back up. Give me Tank's ko of a prime Barrios at 140.

    Luis Nery? That dude reminds me of a shot Wilfred Benitez. Give me Tank's win over a prime, undefeated Martin. Martin actually tries to get out of thr way when a punch is thrown at him.

    Tapales? Worst unified champ I've seen in my lifetime. Give me Pitbull.

    Emmanuel Rodriguez? Trash. Give me the highlight reel ko of Leo Santa Cruz.

    Maloney? Bogan trash. Give me Tank's ko of an undefeated and title holding Hector Garcia.

    Narvaez? Wasn't this guy Donaire's midget leftovers from over a decade ago? I'll take Tank's thrashing of an undefeated and title holding Pedraza.

    Paul Butler? Throw this guy in a room with Liam Walsh and I literally wouldn't be able to tell who's who.

    Payano? Couldn't crack an egg. At least Rolly can bang.

    So what are we really talking about here?

    Tank PFP>>>Inoue

    (I apologize in advance to anyone whose feeling I might be hurting).

    He faced and beat the best in his division in more than one division, when Tank does that in one division then maybe he'd be on Inoue's level but right now P4P it's not that close. Inoue head and shoulders above Tank right now.

    Inoue fights the guys ranked at the top of his division.

    When Wahid starts doing that me know and we'll have the discussion.

    Kind of a meaningless stat if the guys you beat aren't actually that good.

    And btw you're lying:
    1. He beat Fulton at 122 but still hasn't fought MJ, the other top guy there.
    2. He missed out on Roman Gonzales, Estrada, and Sor at 115, so you can wipe that division off his stats.
    3. 112 and 118 were atrocious and still missed Tete and Casmiero at 118.

    Basically, a fake argument.

    The only stacked division he fought in was 115 with Sor, Estrada, Gonzales, and Cuadras. Guess what fights he took there?

    They’re definitely behind Crawford and Usyk. Canelo has a case to be ahead of them too.

    Why are you operating under false premises?

    It’s who you beat, period. 112 is a shallow division, always, and 118 was shallow when Inoue was there. He didn’t fight the best at a deep 1115 and is still proving himself at a mid 122 division.

    135 is among the deepest divisions today, historically, whenever. If a talented kid walks into a gym and eventually becomes a pro boxer, he’s probably at least making a pit stop at 135.

    Inoue undisputed in 2 weight divisions, fought the best in all divisions.

    I'm a Tank fan but he's never faced the best in any division, and so far he's never unified titles. Tank needs to unify with Loma or Shakur (if Shakur wins the WBC) to be in the discussion, realistically.

    Lol, you gotta be trolling or downright not know the first thing about boxing if you think Twink is a top P4P guy. Fake ass career and fake ass fights fighting a bunch of wax figures.

    Which might be meaningful if Tank was actually fighting the best in his division, he's fighting mid level guys and ducking the best, same can't be said of Inoue.

    He would have already fought MJ if he had not lost his belt to Tapales, who Inoue beat. So I'd argue he's beaten the 2 top guys at his weight already.

    Gonzales fight could of happened, Inoue offered him the fight but he passed on it. So can't say he didn't try.

    Estrada didn't win a title at 115 until 2018. Inoue vacated his titles to move up to 118 a month later, so I don't really see there ever being a big window of opportunity for that fight to happen. Estrada should have moved up earlier if he really wanted that fight.

    He offered the fight to Casimero more than once and the fight got made but Covid saw it cancelled, so you can't say he didn't try to make that fight. Casimero then blew it when he pulled out against Butler and lets be clear Inoue makes short work of any version of Casimero.

    Tete signed up for the World Super Series so would have fought Inoue had he gotten past Donaire but pulled out with an injury before he fought Donaire and then lost his title to Casimero, who Inoue then instead tried to fight, but Covid happened and when they tried to make it again, Inoue agreed but Casimero wanted more money so Inoue fought Maloney instead.

    You can't always fight everyone because circumstances can get in the way or fighters simply decline the fight. Tank is not even trying to fight the best in his division unlike Inoue.
