Former Naoya Inoue knockout victim TJ Doheny says Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis will be too much for the Japanese star if the two fight at 135.
Boxing fans have been pushing for Inoue to move up to super lightweight (130) or lightweight (135) to face Tank Davis in a blockbuster mega-fight to prove who’s in the ring The #1 pound-for-pound in sports.
Inoue did not participate in the program, choosing instead to root at the 122-year-old site as a form of opposition to the dead, inanimate division. He showed zero motivation to reach 126 fighting dangerous lightweights, and apparently, motivation to reach 130 or 135 wasn’t happening either.
Naoya needs a complete head transplant Putting the brain of a brave warrior from his past into his body provides him with the daring adventures we’ve seen from greats like Muhammad Ali. Interestingly, Inoue moved up two weight classes, heading up to the 130 weight class to meet Tank Davis in the Super Feather Quantum, their weight class, to prove who the top dog in the sport was.
Doheny felt there was too much weight and size to separate Tank Davis (30-0, 28 KOS) and Inoue (29-0, 26 KOS) from having a chance. Irishman Doheny believes 126 is Naoya’s upper “ceiling” because of his ability in the sport.
Inoue ceiling
“Tank is an absolute dog, but if they were in the same weight class it would be a tough battle. But there’s so much difference. I think 126 is Inoue’s ceiling, I really do.” TJ Doheny said professional boxing fan Naoya Inoue was asked if she would have a chance against Gervonta Davis if he went to fight him at 135.
The idea that Inoue would never do it is too bad because it would be fun to see him and Tank take the top spot in the sport. Fans weren’t interested in seeing Inoue defeat fighters like Ye Joon Kim, Doheny, Sam Goodman, and Luis Nery.
