The Difference Between a Great Fighter and a Fraud: Roberto Duran and Gervonta Davis

To be fair, Twink hasn't actually called out Inoue. He says the fight is unrealistic and that he doesn't see himself ever fighting him

His Excellency wants to make it

The in ring weight difference between Twink and Inoue is roughly about 11lbs

They both have identical reaches

Loma is routinely fighting opponents at 135 who are not only that much heavier than him but who also often have just under a 6'' reach advantage on him too.

A huge weight and a huge reach advantage is way more advantageous and difficult to overcome than just having one or the other over your opponent

But 122 is like Inoue's 4th division, 5th from the one he started out from and 135 is Loma's 3rd one I hear you say

That's a fair point

However, it's also just as fair point to acknowledge that Inoue turned pro at 19.5 y/o whereas Loma turned pro at 25.5 y/o and had Loma turned pro at 19 y/o 135 would likely be his 5th or 6th weight class with same day weigh ins

And it's also a fair point to note that Inoue has a 2'' longer reach than Loma and he rehydrates slightly more in his 4th weight class, 5th from the one he started out at, than the maximum amount Loma ever did at his 1st one

FTR, I think it's ridiculous to expect Inoue to fight Twink but so many refuse to give Loma any credit for routinely fighting opponents who hold huge physical advantages on him that they deem highly unfair when other fighters are asked to give similar or even less ones away even just once sans the huge reach disadvantage or any reach disadvantage at all

And if they were to lose to these much bigger fighters, and I mean even legitimately lose as opposed to being robbed, they wouldn't receive a fraction of the criticism or hate he does and they certainly wouldn't be dismissed as being ''overrated'' or ''hype jobs.''

People just can't and are often loathe to even try to be remotely fair sometimes so sometimes we got to push back
