    Inoue and Tank are the same height, but Inoue started his career at 108.
    Crawford is slightly taller than Canelo, but he started his career at 135.
    But Crawford is a big, big guy.

    Plus Tank is in his prime while many consider Canelo to be slightly past it. So my vote goes to Inoue.

    All fair points.

    But then Canelo is highly proven and has dared to take on challenges - Tank's highly hyped but has consistently hidden from the best available.

    Even with Canelo being past his best, the gap in provenness is waaay to wide to vote Tank, IMHO.

    Are you guys serious ?

    Who has Tank beat ? he is regular champion in most of the times, in most of the divisions. picking names carefully.

    Canelo is more proven than anyone else below 140.

    Clenelo weighs about 8-10lbs more than Crawford

    And I'd say Twink weighs roughly about the same more than Inoue

    Crawford has a 3.5'' reach advantage over Clenelo

    Inoue and Twink have identical reach

    If Crawford fought Clenelo it would be in the US

    Would Twink fight Inoue in Japan, though?

    If I were Inoue I wouldn't fight Twink in the US

    They play much fairer in Japan

    If Inoue fought Twink it should be in Japan and Twink should have to agree to a catchweight, a rehydration clause and a Japanese ref and three Japanese judges

    Why should Twink have home advantage when Inoue gets criticized for not fighting in the US even though in he has done so three times in his 28 fights, and once in the UK, and Twink has only fought outside the US once in his 30 fights?

    If Twink can slap rehydration clauses on some of his opponents despite them only fighting one division North of his and a catchweight on Ryan then he must agree to one vs Inoue

    But that fight is never going to happen, especially if Inoue wanted to stack the deck like that at the negotiating table

    How much is the weight difference between Inoue and Tank from the time that Inoue started boxing? Wasn't he 112 first time out?

    Inoue beating Tank is basically impossible so I'll take that over Crawford beating Nelo.

    Crawford beating Canelo since Tank hasn’t done anything to prove he’s on the same level as Canelo.

    I think it's Canelo vs Crawford. Canelo is past his best but still getting wins and is much more proven. By % of bodyweight Inoue vs Tank and Canelo vs Crawford are about the same but Canelo is much, much more proven. Tank isn't taking/getting big fights either, so I don't see this changing.

    Inoue 108

    Twink was in between 126-130

    Clenelo was 140 but like Twink he fluctuated between that and 147

    Crawford weighed 137 and technically only made 135 six times in his first 25 fights

    But you have to factor in age you turn pro and weight bullying

    Haney turned pro at lightweight but he's weighing in 5lbs lighter at 140 than GGG's average fight night weight

    I voted Crawford only because he's 36 nearly 37 years old - that's OLD in boxing. On second thought, Inoue would be in his 7th - SEVENTH - weight class against a prime opponent whereas Canelo is clearly somewhere on the back nine of his career.

    Nonetheless Canelo is a fringe ATG and probably a Top 5 ever SMW whereas Tank just fights TBA. So how good really is Tank? He's the LW version of Wilder with all those tomato cans...
