    What's false? That Inoue has been undisputed in 2 divisions while Tank hasn't even unified 1 division yet?

    That Tank hasn't fought the best in any division yet? If so, who was it? You're not talking about Pedraza 7 years ago, surely.

    You claimed he fought the best in all divisions. He only fought in one division that had a nice level of talent, and he skipped fights with all of those guys.

    Look at you, writing an essay about why Inoue didn't need to fight the guys at 115 and 118 who actually mattered.

    I base my views on how good the opponents are who were beaten, and in what matter. Does it matter if some medicore British guy at 118 held a title and high ranking in the division while Martin was only fringe top 5? Absolutely not, because Martin is the more talented fighter in the far deeper division. That's how that works.

    Literally undisputed at 118 and 122. Was signed to fight Casimero but the latter pulled out.
    Oh, and he beat Tapales.... the man who beat Murodjon Akhmadaliev.

    Bait thread it bait. **** like this is why I stopped visiting the General forum.

    Did you even read what I wrote? Where did I say he didn't need those fights? I never said that, I simply said why those fights didn't happen. Inoue tried to make a number of those fights and they either declined, Covid, then declined, lost before they could face him, or were simply not at the same weight for anywhere near long enough for it to happen. You added 2+2 and got potato.

    Also why are you so forgiving of Tank ducking every top fighter in his own division yet seem so harsh on Inoue for not fighting guys, some of who turned the fight down? Perhaps you should cast the same critical eye on Tank, if you did, you'd realise Tank for all his ability and talent which is a lot, doesn't have to balls to do what Inoue has been doing time and time again and fight the best.

    You're basing your views on nothing but pure conjecture. You say one fighter is better than another when they don't even fight in the same weight class or have fought the same opposition to have a direct comparison. When we are comparing fighters who will never fight one another it's never a fact, it's simply an opinion. Have some decency to at least be honest in that regard.

    As for Martin, he's a good fighter for sure, but he's not proven much. He's better than I thought based on his performance against Tank but come on Donaire's record craps all over Martin's it's not even close and that's a fact. Now maybe Martin is better than Donaire, but again that's just pure conjecture not based on anything factual. See the difference one's real the other is made up in your head.

    Tank's best win was over a mentally deranged, steroid using, alcoholic, quitter, YouTubing, Instagramming, punk.

    When he fights the Loma's and Stevenson's and Zepeda's let me know. He might beat them, he might not. But get in the ring
    with them? That's funny.

    Tapales sucked. I didn't really think he beat MJ and he definitely wouldn't have officially if MJ hadn't had a long layoff heading into that. MJ won the championship rounds after the rust wore off. MJ would've been a huge favorite in a rematch.

    Once again, I do not care about trinkets, belts, and rankings when one guy fights in terrible divisions and the other fights in great ones.

    Nobody here can actually point out anything in the opening post that isn't correct, hence statboys cometh.

    Inoue's resume is stat based. His work at 112, 115, and 118 is unimpressive. He's doing half decent work at 122, another limited division, but hasn't fought MJ yet.

    Remember when Magdaleno and Frampton beat Donaire? I sure do.

    A prime fighter who just dispensed a beating to Haney.

    This thread is pure comedy gold. I have yet to see the list of fighters Tank has beat to make him the P4P higher. Bunch on nonsense stack 135 talk instead of listing Tank’s accomplishment.

    Fulton was maybe top 20 pfp. Outside of that, nobody Inoue beat was anywhere near a pfp list.

    I agree with you.Tapales is a bum! I also believe Tank has fought better opps.Cruz, Martin and Gamboa he moved up to 140.
    Tank in the division where there is the cream of creme of boxing.Stevenson, Loma, Teofimo at 140.He ducked? I dont think he is.But if he did it’s either they dont want to fight Tank or maybe he is ducking.Inoue is in a poor division in boxing devoid of stars.I believe Tank will be the bigger star in boxing in long run.

    OK, let's agree that both of these boxers have weak names on his resume.

    Champions or not, they were weak.

    Tank needs to step up for sure
