    I'm actually a Tank fan as well...................I'm also very objective and realistic. Tank ain't nowhere near the complete package. He's gifted, but he ain't Inoue gifted................there's levels

    actually, they are about the same size. if you compared their skeletons, they are about equal. tank is just a balled up little tree trunk carrying extra weight. and by extra i mean it from the point of view of a trainer. inoue has more of the ideal muscle make up for boxing. long for the weight and lean down to the fibers.
    inoue is just now catching punches from skeletons with the same density as his. thats why i was not surprised neri was able to ring his bell. ive seen what tank can do against guys bigger than him, i will wait to see inoues next few fights before i can answer your question. inoue is a more rounded fighter than tank, especially on the offence. but that may be because tanks dimensional disadvantages limit his ability to take the chances monster takes. they are both gifted fighters, and although i prefer watching inoue, tank is for real too.

    Inoue would win, he's the better all-around boxer.

    But Tank's IQ gets a bit underrated by fans, right now he's probably the best around 135-140.

    Inoue. Twink is very talented, skilled and powerful too but he ducked back down to his 1st and 2nd weight classes like the 3rd one was full of poisonous gas after dipping his toes in the waters up at 140 against Barrios, whereas, conversely, Inoue conquered his 3rd one and then moved up to his 4th to conquer that one too

    Neither can beat a same sized prime Loma though. He's too slick for them and you all know I'm right

    Both big punchers so it will depend on who could stand up to each others power better. I happen to think tank is more durable but inoue imo is more skilled. tank is way more skillful than people like to admit

    Inoue footwork is unmatched by anybody at any weight.

    The Monster would hit Tank so hard he'd become a Hare Krishna dancing in a dress in airports.
