Tank will duck the smoke at 135 and 140 by targeting a superfight with Inoue

I predict this is what Tank will do in the near future

 

At what weight do you propose it’s going to happen?

 

I'd honestly back Inoue to beat Gervonta at Gervonta's weight.

 

130

 

This is as far from a superfight as it gets. Inoue coming up two weightclasses for a payday.

Also this isn't much of a payday at all, Tank has no following and Inoue can use his following in Japan without involving Tank.

Tank needs to make the Lomachenko fight happen. Loma deserves the bigger purse since he is the one that has everything to lose. A 70% 30% purse would be in order but then again even at 70 it won't be much money for Loma, personally I would advice Loma not to take this fight. Tank can go die in obscurity on his own.

 

eh honestly i don't see it happenin and Tank would faint on the scales

 

That would be interesting. I wonder if monsters fans will call for it like they do the Bam fight. Saying Bam is a weight bully who is almost the same size as Inoue. Seeing as how tank an monster have identical height and reach. I’m gonna have to check that energy.

 

Inoue too small unfortunately

Inoue could outbox Tank with ease but if he gets caught just once it’s over

 

Who outside of trolling Bam haters are calling for Inoue Bam in all honesty? I've seen calls for a Bam vs Nakatani or Nakatani vs Inoue but what reasonable merit is there for Bam to completely skip Nakatani even from an Inoue fan. If anything, Inoue fans would likely want Bam to fight Nakatani first and only fight Bam if he defeats Nakatani.

 

These kinds of fights only happen when the man moving up is desperate for a payday, Inoue is already making lots of money.

 

now that you mention it, it is just trolls hating. I want to see it too but when the balance is more even. I think they are both highly talented.
I don’t rank tank in the same level. I don’t even know if tank is the best guy at 135. And if he were to come down to 130 I think monster can do better than Santa Cruz did. It would be interesting.

 

Bam-Inoue will be a true SuperFight a year from now. Inoue-Nakatani also looks to be on Top Ranks radar this year, so we'll most likely get that fight first then Inoue-Bam sometime late this year or early 2026.

 

I think Bam genuinely wants it, but after making a mark at 118. I know Robert would rather build him to 122 to let him finish out and into his prime. This is the biggest fight he might ever get in his career. A genuine tested beast. That’s the fight you want to peak at. Be Montreal Duran.

 

Bandeedo, you are an old school knowledgable guy. Saying Tank isn't in the same level as Inoue and Bam who hasn't proven anything is kind of a crazy take. Tank destroyed a prime Ryan Garcia with ease and moved up 2 weight classes to destroy a very formidable Mario Barrios who was a weight bully at that weight. People downplay Tank's achievements way too much.
