NAOYA SHOULD FIGHT GERVONTA DAVIS.. NO CATCH WEIGHT NEEDED

Why isn't he calling for Twink to move up to 147, 154 or 160 to face one of the best guys at those weights?

Inoue is campaigning in his 4th weight class but Hunter wants Inoue to move up to his 7th to fight Twink?

When Twink moved up to his third division, or rather made a brief appearance up there so he could cherrypick the weakest champ at the weight, and it was the WBA regular champ Barrios at that not the legit champ Josh Taylor who according to Leonard Ellerbe ''brought nothing to the table'' other than all four belts and a top 5 P4P ranking that is

And Twink slapped a rehydration clause on Barrios too

And then what did Twink do after grabbing the belt?

Did he hang around up there and go right for the elite of the division and try to become undisputed (which is exactly what Inoue has done in his 4th and 5th division)?

Or did he drop the belt like it was molten lead and duck back down to 130/135?

Take a guess

“I don’t think Gervonta [Davis] should go below 135,” Hunter told Fighthype. “I’m sure Inoue walks around at ’40, ’45 – 145. [Inoue would] have to come up just like everybody else. Where is the value of [Davis] coming to a catchweight to fight you? You’re big in Japan, and I’m big in the States. So there should not be any weight concession. ‘If you want to fight, come and fight me.’”

Hmm.. Twink fought Ryan at a catchweight of 136 despite having won a belt at 140 and slapped a rehydration clause on him too.

Twink weighs a whole weight class more than Loma with a 2'' longer reach than him but even though Inoue is almost as big as Loma with a 2'' longer reach best believe Loma wouldn't receive an ounce of credit from Hunter and those calling for Inoue to face Twink and so many others if he beat Inoue even if he dropped down to 126 to face him. But Inoue needs to move up to his 7th weight class to fight Twink who won't even move up 2 and stay there or fight the elite in any of the ones he's fought in?

I'm not even trying to poop on Twink who respects Inoue and doesn't see the fight as being realistic himself and he isn't calling Inoue out either.

 

Hunter citing Rigo moving up to fight Loma.

Firstly, Rigo is the one who not only called Loma out but both he and his fanbase literally begged Loma to fight him and waged a protracted campaign on social media goading him to take the fight, accusing him of running scared and ducking him, so Rigo could expose him and they were so confident he was going to do so.

Rigo was offered the fight at 126 but he kept screwing Loma around but they were still adamant he was going to school Loma and knock him out at 130. However, after Loma literally toyed with him like he was a club fighter without even having to move out of second gear all we heard from them were excuses about size and how Loma ain't beat no one. Loma even said that e didn't consider it a great win because Rigo was too small and this was after tons of disrespect and goading from Rigo and his fans. How many times have you seen a bigger fighter say that after beating a smaller one?

Not a peep out of any of them about size when Loma fought an 11lbs heavier Salido or when he moved up to 135 to face opponents who routinely hold the kind of weight advantage he held over Rigo, or more or way more of a weight advantage, only difference is they also held big/huge reach advantage over Loma too whereas Rigo has a 2'' longer reach than Loma.

Loma fights a 20lb heavier, six inch longer reach, with a 36 hour weigh in, in Haney's backyard, with a home ref and three home judges but not so much as a peep about weight or size advantages from any of them

 

They're insisting Inoue play by a set of rules against someone who won't and hasn't ever played the same game as him, let alone by the same rules, and who they don't expect to play the same game either

 

Twink lost one of his world titles at 130 on the scales and very nearly lost another after only managing to make the weight at the third attempt. He's had to strip naked a bunch of times to make weight, at least 3 IIRC. He missed weight by a whole pound the first time of asking for his 135 debut.
