Inoue beating Tank vs Crawford beating Canelo

Same size difference in both cases, Canelo is leagues beyond Tank P4P though so Crawford beating him would be more impressive.

 

If Crawford is a "big, big guy" then Peter Dinklage is average sized.

 

Inoue beating Tank would be far more impressive. I think Canelo has declined quite a lot. Tank is at the top of his game. I’d be very surprised if Inoue managed to beat him.

 

Inoue beating Tank because Tank in his absolute prime right and Inoue has no physical attributes over Tank

Where as Canelo is past his prime as evident by his opposition in his recent years plus Crawford is taller than Canelo with a longer reach.

 

Canelo is an ATG and has the best resume of this era. Tank is a very talented underachiever who's been carefully managed. Beating Canelo is far more impressive than beating Tank.

 

Canelo hasn't had a stoppage win in 4 years and he's been fighting in spurts just doing enough to win via decision he hasn't impressed me for quite sometime.

Yeah Davis hasn't been fighting great opposition but atleast he's stopping all his opponents and some of his wins aged well like Garcia for example.

Canelo has had a better career than Davis but I think Davis is more in his prime now than Canelo is.

Plus as I said Crawford is taller than Canelo with a considerably longer reach and Crawford's walking around weight has been as high as 180 pounds.

Hence I think Inoue beating Tank would be more impressive with the context I said above.

 

Age: Tank is younger

Experience: Canelo is more proven

Size: I don't really know what either of them Walk around at and how it would relate to the opponent They would have to move up to face. Something tells me both fights would have similar height

Inoue punches closer to tanks weight class than Crawford punches to canelos and I think inoue might just have the power to get tank whereas I think Crawford doesn't have the type of power to rock Canelo

I feel inoue beating tank is much more likely though I could also see him get flattened as he has been dropped and hurt by much smaller guys and Davis has the speed and delivery while also the ability to follow up. Crawford I feel would need to box carefully but could be very dangerous in round 7 on

 

You know what I mean. Dude is pretty heavy for his height. It´s a damn wonder he even competed at 135 given his fight night weights.

 

Inoue doesn't need to stack the deck, he knocks his opponents out. However he is not big at 122 while Bud is about a 154 sized fighter. I assume the fights would be two divisions up, 130 and 168. Assuming that the fights can be made and the outcome is fairly refereed and judged, they are both great achievements. Tank is unproven while Canelo is overrated. Inoue at 130 is smaller than Bud at 168.

It is close, but Inoue's win feels slightly better because it feels like a bigger jump above his natural weight. If these fights were made, I don't think they would be fairly officiated or scored, nor would the larger fighter accept any rehydration clause.

 

Tough question. I think on paper there's only one answer, which is Crawford over Canelo since Canelo >> Tank.

However, intuitively I feel it would be harder for Inoue.... I feel the most likely outcome is that Tank sparks him out. Perhaps, Crawford has the better frame for moving up, and perhaps, styles make fights, and Crawford has a good style to beat Canelo - so (in a very close call) I'm voting Inoue.

 

I see Inoue beating Tank as a more impossible task.
