Montero has called this out on his pod a few times and ain't afraid to tell it like it is.
Those guys seem to idolise Tank and probably fear that Inoue could well humble him if they ever met.
Davis may just be a bit too big for Monster but it would be a very risky fight for him
Monster is great---but WAY too tiny for Tank.

I mean if you crippled tank down to 126 Mabey … but tank ain’t going that low for sub 100 million probably… so yea, they are to far apart.

is there a catchweight he can fight loma?
is there a catchweight he can fight Jesse Rodriguez?

I'm waiting to see what everyone says.
There's not been much of a hoopla.

Is he retired? Hasn’t fought in 15 months and is a bit small. But absolutely, Mabey at 118.5 (so still for all the belts). I hate catchweight shit but to see inoue fight a legend id do it. Same deal with Estrada.

choco has a fight comin up i think

i really hope it's not sam goodman next but him being in the ring after makes it look that way. i f it's a 122 guy i'd rather MJ or casimero. it's a shame inoue never really got in on the super fly hbo era with choco, eastrada, sor, etc. that ship has sailed for those fights to be hot, but f@ck i'd still prefer choco or bam or estrada at a catchweight than sam goodman

Here is my perfect inoue plan/plans… now they get a bit ridiculous as they go on.

His brother tries to go undisputed at 118. If he does happy days, if he dosent whoever beats his brother inoue fights (if he hasn’t before)…. So that’s 118 sorted.

littler guys Estrada, chock, Jessie rodregez 118.5 catch for the 122 belts.
Or
126lb title fights and unifications.
Or
Tank/loma at 127.5 (probably impossible)
Or
Pac-Man or Floyd at 140
Or
Mcgregor at 155
Or
Jake paul at 175

Sam Goodman…. No.

That's old for a wee fella.
I think he should just hold onto his belts, stepping up again would be foolhardy. Better to create a legacy where he is.
I don't think he cares about staying undefeated and padding his record. I would like to see him in with Akhmadaliev before he moved up to 126 where there are some very interesting fights for him, as said a few Top Rank champs at that weight so not short of options.

I saw that he is to fight at Wembley on the Joshua undercard in September, presumably against Goodman? The man is on an absolute roll, let him get in with the best ffs. Especially on a stage like that
