    Usyk took on AJ and Fury under heavyweight rules with no upper weight limit, and still beat them weighting 20-38 lbs lighter. How would Inoue do against Tank if same rules applied and he came in 10-12 lbs lighter? Would it be similar to Usyk vs other heavyweights?

    Inoue would knock Tank down and the ref wouldn't call it because Tank told him he got hair product in his eye. Fight would then be declared a draw.

    Tank would then immediately go backstage, beat his woman, get in his car, crash into a pregnant woman and announce he's fighting Logan Paul next.

    Heavyweight? So they're both sporting Andy Ruiz bods after a year of binge eating?

    Honestly if Crawford could jump that much in weight to comfortably outbox Canelo, then it wouldn't suprise me either to see Inoue also comfortably outbox Gervonta at lightweight.

    Gervonta is decent fighter but he has been very overrated at times.

    Yes, Inoue walks around at 140. He would be vary comfortable at lightweight, the problem would be the size of his opponents, but Tank is a small lightweight. Inoue can outbox him.

    Crawford is 5'8 and has a longer reach than Canelo, Alvarez is a small super-middle.

    Tank has swerved all the fighters he should have faced at lightweight, for good reason he would get his ass whooped. Lomachenko, Teo, Haney, Kambosos, Shakur, Keyshawn.
