    I think it's a stupid fight and it won't happen for obvious reasons but some have been talking about it.

    Catchweight: 125 lbs

    Rehydration clause: 130 lbs

    I said Inoue purely out of spite. In truth Tank would win, hell Lomachenko would beat both. But the LDBC dunces need their revenge for Inoue beating one of their “slick black undefeated American” fighters. So they desperately want to hype up Tank vs Inoue to try and get back at Inoue

    I think Davis would win at 135 lbs with no rehydration clause, in America. But Davis is naturally five weight classes bigger than Inoue and he has shown he believes in catchweights and rehydration clauses when there are size discrepancies. So under the terms I outlined I think Inoue would win.

    I doubt the fight will happen though. Inoue gets a lot of money fighting in Japan and doesn't need to disadvantage himself as a B-side in America. Davis is also very unlikely to fight on Inoue's terms. And Inoue's still got unfinished business at 122 and a lot at 126 before he's even in striking range of Davis weight-wise.

    The only point of the fight, with these conditions, would be, as you said, spite. I wouldn't want it below 130. Also in no case would I want to see the fight with no rehydration clause.

    Davis doesn’t believe in rehydrations, he believes in gaining advantages (I.e., Ryan Garcia). He only does it if he, really Mayweather advisors, think they will weaken the opponent to Davis’ favor. Since that wouldn’t happen to Inoue…the point is mute. Davis will demand the fight at full weight

    Loma wouldn't beat ****, he gets bodied by both Inoue and Tank. He'd beat Inoue at 130 though just cause of size, Inoue > Loma p4p talent.

    Lies, I remember what Loma did to Rigondeaux who was easily top 5 p4p undefeated fighter at the time. Inoue would be no different. And same with Davis too. They too short and too weak to think they can handle loma.

    But given the how Loma has been screwed over by corruption several times, it may not matter

    You remember when 45 year old Rigo moved up 2 weight classes and previously almost got knocked the **** out by bum ass high school drop out NEET Amagasa? Cool? What does that have to do with Inoue? Who had Rigo beaten in the 3 years span leading up to Loma to make him p4p #5, forget about moving up 2 weight classes and him being ancient.

    Tank beats any version of Loma. Loma is allergic to power, Just like how Teo kicked his ass.

    …yes. I just remember Rigondeaux being unbeatable. He whooped Donaire, then some of those featherweights Abner Mares fought in that tournament, then went life and death some Japanese tall guy. Bottom line is he was great, undefeated and then went up and lost to Loma. And my point is same would happen to Inoue.

    As for Davis, he’s too short. We saw what Loma did to Nicholas Walters, who decapitated Donaire with pure power. But Loma too good and out boxed him. Davis too slow and short for Loma I think.

    but you got me with the Teofimo fight

    Many of the same guys who hype Davis were saying that double Olympic gold medallist Rigo would break Loma's jaw. Rigo was top 10 P4P from 2013-2018, 4th P4P when he fought Loma, widely regarded as one of if not the most avoided fighter in the sport (Santa Cruz and Frampton wanted no part of him), he was 37 but nearly four years and four fights later fought three weight titlist Casimero to a razor-close SD in a title fight. 18-0 Rigo moved up from 122 to 130 and 9-1 Loma outlanded him 55-15 (Compubox), making him quit (for the only time in his extensive career, amateur and pro) in 6.

    Davis's team didn't evince any willingness to fight Loma and his record suggests avoidance of tough opponents and A-side antics.
