There have been a lot of posts online about this fight, and I really hope it happens in the future when Inoue will finally decide to move up. Although the fight hasn't been confirmed yet, I'd love to hear your opinion on which fighter you think will win -- and why.

It’s true 'as a boxing fan I often see posts like this in facebook about their fight. And of course, as a boxing fan I want to see them face each other. Not when they’re already old, like what happened with the MayPac fight.

If you ask me, since they’re both undefeated but in different weight classes, my answer would be that the winner would depend on which weight division they fight in. But if we disregard that, I’ll go with Naoya Inoue over Tank Davis.

Who will win?
Davis vs. Inoue

I see the two tough boxers, from the age of the two are also not much different from Davis (30) & Inoue (31), as well as the boxing victory of the two of them 30/29 ko, after all I have seen how the two duet on the ring, if Davis vs. Inoue Really make the battle agreement in the summer this year, of course this is a good opportunity for boxing lovers and also those who want to place bets.

For Boxing Davis vs. Inoue I can predict Davis's chances of having an assessment from me Davis KO 40%, Inoue Ko 20%, and Davis's decision 20% and Inoue 20% means I can put it Betting for Davis has a chance to win 60% than Inoue this time, so my choice of victory Davis.

[Mr. Magkaisa]

I will definitely fo with Davis on this fight, Specially if this will be a fight outside Japan so that Inoue will not be protected by Japan rules in boxing and the fight will be fare. Davis has been tested with different fighters on a standard rule and not wiht opponent where the boxer is the only one to choose and not picking an opponent next to his rank. Davis for this ALL in!

I will support the bigger fighter if this match happens, and that is Tank Davis. Although Inoue has had success in the lower division, it is uncertain whether he can maintain his power and speed in the higher division, where Davis has already demonstrated his skills and strength.

I also voted for Tank Davis here to win if this fantasy fights happen in the future. He is the natural bigger guy as compare to Inoue who is the smaller and we really don't know if he can keep his power when he moves to 126 lbs in his next fight. And not just the power, but Davis has a big IQ too so this is really a dangerous fight for Inoue. Unless Inoue became the Manny Pacquaio of this generation, wherein when he moves up, he maintain his power and speed and his chin can hold the power of the bigger boxer. But so far, Manny is really a generational talent and we might not seen another fighter like him in the next 50 years or so as he is really one of a kind, a unicorn in the sports of boxing. So let's see first how Inoue deals with the power of the in the Featherweight division.

There are a lot of somehow demanding yet clueless posts online. The two undefeated fighters are far apart in terms of weight classes. Naoya is already past 30 years old. He's still fighting at 122. He'd cross the ocean just to meet tank who's naturally bigger and heavier than him at 135 or 140.

Besides, would Inoue be the same if he forces himself to reach that weight class? Alternatively, would Tank be the same if he forces himself to a catchweight just to meet Naoya at a much lower weight class? Or would he look like a victim of famine?

[GreatArkansas]

Here are the boxing records of both undefeated fighters. They are really meant to be to fight, can't wait to see this match. Age, height, and reach are almost the same. They really the perfect match for the fight, I am just curious as to why it's still happening. I am expecting this will be the fight of the year if this happens.

I do not think that they are clueless, they just wanted to see this fight, simply as that. We already have a precedence in Manny Pacquiao before and Arum was hyping that Inoue is greater than Manny. So with that, many fans and boxing pundits wanted to see if he can do what Manny has done before in this sports. Wherein he go from weight class to weight class and bet the best champion of that division.

Besides, would Inoue be the same if he forces himself to reach that weight class? Alternatively, would Tank be the same if he forces himself to a catchweight just to meet Naoya at a much lower weight class? Or would he look like a victim of famine?

We really don't know what will be the circumstances if ever this two fight. I'm also thinking that Tank will not remain in 135 lbs for the rest of his career and maybe by that time that Inoue wanted the fight, perhaps Tank is already at 140 lbs already.

A lot of them probably are. Many want to see this fight happen without a clue why it's next to impossible.

Forget about Manny Pacquiao. He's one of a kind. In the long history of boxing, has there ever been another boxer who achieved his feat? None. The reason is simply that it's next to impossible. Even the list of septuple champions is very short. Other than Manny himself, alone in men's boxing, it's only Serrano who achieved it in the women's division. Even if we go further down to sextuple champions, aside from Pacquiao and Serrano, there's only one addition in De La Hoya.

I'm not saying Naoya can't do it, but let's be realistic. He's still far away. Also, when Pacquiao was 30, he's already won a title at 135. Whereas, Naoya is 32 this year and he's still stuck at 122. His next fight or two might still be at 122. 126 might take a longer time. So, when will he be arriving at 140? At 50 years old?

Besides, would Inoue be the same if he forces himself to reach that weight class? Alternatively, would Tank be the same if he forces himself to a catchweight just to meet Naoya at a much lower weight class? Or would he look like a victim of famine?

That's what I'm also saying. And it's another factor, major factor, why this fight is most probably not going to happen.

Lol, they are not the same mate, that's only their physical attributes, boxing is more of weight classes, and that's why they are put that way because there are boxers that could be the same in height and age and reach but they could be in a total different weight class just like here.

Inoue campaigns at 122 lbs although there are news that he will be moving up to 126 lbs. While Tank fight at 135 lbs, so that is a huge 10 lbs disparity. And as others have said, Tank is the natural bigger guy so if we look at it, he has all the advantage in this fight.

[r_victory]

Both are looking to stay at the top of their divisions. It may take a while, but if the fight happens, I believe that due to his experience with fighters of the same “level”, Davis has a better chance of winning. Because he is heavier, he tends to have more power in his punches.

[Cointxz]

In able for this fight to happened they should meet in the middle since I doubt anyone between this 2 fighter willing to go other division just to face a pierce opponent while they are reigning on their current weight class.

Only fans wants this fight while the fighter is looking for opponent suitable on their own weight class. Arum is still milking on his boy Inoue popularity so I doubt Inoue will take a risk on this dream fight just quench boxing fans dream.

His much is still selling.

The question is who is going to be the A-side here? Tank against Ryan Garcia, he had ask for a catch weight and rehydration clause. And I do not think that he will conceived his weight here and willing to go down to at least 132 lbs as for sure Tank will say that he can't make that weight. So everything rest on Inoue if he can go as high as 135 lbs in the next 2 years otherwise, Tank will have to move to 140 lbs as he could have a difficult time making that weight anymore.

So as much as we want to this fight, Inoue will be at a disadvantage. It might be better if he will chase greatness like conquering 126 lbs and then unifying all the belts as if he does it, he will be the first one to do that breaking the records he had with 140 lbs and 147 lbs unified champion in Crawford, or CW and HW unified champion in Usyk. Unless Bob Arum whispers to him that he will make so much money fighting Tank Davis.

I have been mentioning this fight for the longest time, Inoue moving up at 135 lbs and facing the champion in Davis. And if I'm not mistaken, Davis has also talk about this potential fight and if I'm not mistaken, he says no as he think that Inoue is too small for him.

Regardless though, boxing now is very different from what we see from the 90's to the late 2000's

Now, it's all about the money and so I wouldn't be surprised if this fight is going to happen in the future as both could be offered huge money by the powerful broker from Saudi Arabia.

Why would Davis say Inoue is too small for him? Isn't that an advantage if Inoue goes for it? Maybe he's a bit scared of Inoue since the guy's a knockout artist and super fast. That's why I'd love to see them agree on a catchweight fight, it could be a real showdown.

I'll go with Davis 100%.

Inoue might be strong, but his opponents aren't that strong compared to the fighters in which Davis fought in the past few years. I guess the strongest fighter that Inoue fought for years is Donaire when they faced for the first time, but after that, the fighters that he fought are just average, or at least can't be as strong as Inoue. Now the question is, who will adjust in terms of division? Or will they meet at around 130 or 126.

At the end of the day, rumors will remain as rumors until it's confirmed. Inoue can just cherry pick his opponents and fight in Japan if he wants to, and many will still praise him because of him defeating fighters that aren't on his caliber. If he wants to secure his legacy, he needs to fight stronger player and that includes moving from one division to another.

It will be more interesting to watch that possible fight if Inoue would go out in Japan and fight in US. Since we provably could see how good he is for taking those huge challenge of his career.

But this is really tough assignment for Inoue knowing Davis is so strong and it seems his opponent have more advantage to win in their fight. Would really love to see this fight since provably that if Inoue would successfully finish David with TKO then provably that those people who doubt on his greatness will be shut off and for sure would agree that he is really extra ordinary fighter in this generation. So lets keep an eye with this fight and see what's going to happen.

Not this year but possibly this next year, Davis has proven himself, but he is always on the verge of retiring, while Inoue has to make up his mind first if he wants to level up his game by going in the US and ad weights to face Davis, but its better that they do it in a catchweight.
I'm sure this is the fight worth watching; I just hope they retain their unbeaten record when they meet to add excitement and prestige to the match.
I'll bet when the time comes that they face each other.

[bittraffic]

Will Tank go to Tokyo for this fight?
Inoue's camp will insist on Tokyo as they always want it. But maybe if the Saudis spend money on these two, it will be a huge catch weight match.

Whoever wins, its still serve a good fight to watch. Maybe with a rematch clause too.
