    Maybe I'm crazy but yes I do think he would have a chance. I think it would depend a lot on what weight he would come in at and how he carries the additional weight.

    I think if he gains the weight in his legs like Pac did, doesn't go to the full limit, and is able to carry the weight without it significantly hindering his athleticism, I think he does have a chance to make the fight interesting.

    I tend to overestimate the role size will play in matchups, maybe this time I'm underestimating it for once though. Idk...

    Sure. Why not? Tank has to be the favorite at LW, but nobody knows how strong Inoue might be at that weight. That's a PPV I'd buy.

    tough one to figure out. i can see inoue making 130lbs.
    if inoue slowly adds weight (3 years of so) and grows into the 130lb weight, maybe i can see a competitive bout.
    the weight gain would have to be added in a healthy way. he would need plenty of fights against top opponents as the weight increases, to prepare him for a gervonta fight at 130lbs.
    i voted no because i don't think today he would be able to win a fight at 130lbs against tank.
    three or four years from now? who knows?
