    You saying he a better boxer but you can't substantiate why. What makes him a better boxer?

    Inoue's gone a decade running through 3 weight classes while losing less than a handful of rounds and most of them were to Donaire after he suffered a broken eye socket in round 2. Tank lost more rounds in the Isaac Cruz fight than Inoue has in his career.

    If Inoue was a different a color, you'd be singing a different tune.

    I was very impressed by Tank vs Garcia. From what I've seen. The Monster. Tank has impressed me, though.

    He's faster, more activity, more accurate, better lead hook, better jab, better cross, better accomplishments, better resume, better defense and he wasn't being outboxed by Rolly Ramirez.

    To be fair, and we must strive to be so, Inoue's opposition has been utter trash too. The only decent guy he's fought was an ancient Nonito and he was shot to bits for the rematch.

    Inoue beat all of the top guys at 118 and the #1 at 115. He also beat Taguchi who would go on to become #1 at 108. Their resumes are not comparable.

    Naoya technique is sublime. Bordering on perfection at times

    Ignore me when I switch to anti-Inoue mode. I'm just hurling rocks back over the fence when the fetishist scum hurl them my boy's way (not Joker or you). They're lucky it ain't real life because I'd be jumping over the fence and laying them out Inoue style if it was. And that's some real doubly bubbly real talk

    You just talking out of the side of your neck now without any real numbers or any real statistics. How do you know he's faster, or more accurate? How do you know he has a better lead hook, They both have knockouts with the same punch. Also Davis has a devastating uppercut. What's the stats on thier jabs and crosses? Davis ain't never had his nose broke so maybe his defense is a little better. Rolly got knocked out and so did Donaire who was out boxing yo boy. They have different styles but they both can box and one is no better than the other. You just running yo mouth cause you DKSAB.

    I like Tank, I'm clearly one of the only people on this forum who does.........and I like Tank more than Inoue.

    Inoue is a far more dynamic boxer than Tank...........this ain't a revelation........

    What's crazy about this is Tank has talked highly of Inoue as well.........

    Tank talks about cleaning out divisions whereas Inoue does it.
