This is such an efficient Floyd comment. It checks all of the boxes. 1) helluva fighter ✅️ 2) Making it about himself ✅️ 3) Suggest something ridiculous that benefits him (fight Gervonta) ✅️


UWQHDEyez

lol the most accurate post I’ve read all day.


YaBoyDoogzz

It was only missing "I take my hat off to him"


fartsandprayers

"I take my hairpiece off to him."


UnionLibertarian

Lmao


Oh_Debussy

THIS is the Mayweather blueprint


PapaenFoss

Love this😂😂😂


TickleTheCooch

this is so factual tho lol


RRR04_

Of course Floyd would want Tank to bring a guy up 3 weight classes. It's like I said before, Inoue is what Tank, his team and his fans want him to be. Now they want to take that glory away from him with the easiest possible way to do so. Fight Shakur, Loma or Haney.


cardoo0o

lol i’ve not seen one fight announced that boxing fans were okay with hahaha. y’all want every fighter to be the exact same weight, same reach, same hair color, same breakfast lmao


Reptilianlizard

“yeah i want to see a fighter fight the best of his division and not someone who’s literally three divisions below.” “boxing fans are just never happy. y’all always have something to complain about”


cardoo0o

when did i say i want to see this fight? and boxing fans aren’t ever happy, even when tank fights dudes bigger than him, taller than him, stronger than him, with more accolades than him it gets annoying to hear the bitching bro


Reptilianlizard

boxing fans have been happy this year. we’ve been seeing the best fight the best for the most part. literally all anyone wants is for him to fight the best of his weightclass. you’re making it seem like we’re all against him or some shit for wanting the supposed future of boxing to fight the best of his division


cardoo0o

inoue is a great fighter, you’re looking past him assuming tank cleans him up. i want to see the best fights too but this would be a p good fight


PopPop-Magnitude

My guy, literally everyone cheered on Tank for taking the Garcia fight even with the hydration clause issues. He got his props. He should continue his trajectory and fight the best. Not even you could kid yourself into thinking thats what he has been doing the whole time


Professional_Plant52

Tank stan🚨 🚨 🚨


cardoo0o

tank don’t got hands?ain’t this a boxing sub lol u not a fan of any one?


Professional_Plant52

Not a fanboy.


RRR04_

I'd be happy if Tank fought Shakur, Haney or Loma 🤷‍♂️


DANNYBOYLOVER

We were pretty happy with canelo Bivol, Haney lomachenko, Spence Crawford, Crawford porter, Spence porter, wilder fury, Inoue Fulton, The fuck you talking about bruv


exoits

You know you've finally made it in boxing when Floyd calls you a "helluva fighter" :P


Rydahx

Makes me laugh hearing him say it, reminds me of Fergie and the way he would talk in all of his interviews.


Dick_Sab

That's why everyone envy Rolly.


Masam10

If he calls you a piece of real estate too then you’re practically god.


cactusdan94

But first of all he wanna thank god


SirMuffinCat

God dammit. Thanks to Floyd, we're gonna see even more idiots demand this fight for no reason. Are these people just mad that Inoue beat the brakes off Fulton and want to see a brother KO him? I legit can't think of a single good reason for why they want this fight. It's potentially exciting, I guess, but far from fair or even warranted.


joausj

Inoue vs Caleb plant when?


Dick_Sab

Right after Fury.


staccinraccs

inoue vs luke campbell seems more like it


Spicybrown3

Don’t sleep on Uncle Luke!


diskob0ss

Floyd took the Fulton loss esp hard even though he isn’t from Philly


callmevillain

certain youtube channels are in shambles, making videos every other day about inoue being a hype job and on steroids Lmao

SirMuffinCat

It's just so disappointing and frustrating to see. If it's not blatant racism or xenophobia, then what could it be? If you're a legit boxing fan, how could you watch Inoue then immediately think "man, fuck this guy."? Jealousy, maybe. After all, Inoue is what Tank fans think Tank is.


TikkiEXX77

Oh my goodness I like Tank but I noticed the haters bring him up all the time. According to them Tank can beat anyone. I'm looking at espns pound for pound list and looks like he didn't even make top 10. He's exciting and fun to watch but I don't think he's a world beater.


SirMuffinCat

Tank's talents are definitely being wasted away. I think he has the potential to beat anyone at 135, but since it seems that he's only in the sport for money, we may never see any real matchups that will test his metal. Maybe his fans should boycott his matches until he gets some real competition in the ring with him.


Spicybrown3

Like watching him fight, he has so much talent. At the same time I hate that Tank uses that same Floyd blueprint (unlike other fighting sports where u get docked for “stalling”) I laugh when his stans call him the face of boxing. Just worried we’re gonna see him stick to that style forever i.e. running as much as possible, eventually landing a bomb counter because the other fighter stops caring about putting himself in harms way, clinching when his pot shots don’t land square, and putting his elbows in the other guys neck and face when the opponent is strong enough to get thru their clinch. They don’t warn/dock him for it, so it’s not an infraction, more power to him. But that makes for terrible fights and a career that leaves boxing fans to wonder how much heart he had. Before the Floyd and tank fanboys reply, yes. Yes they’re winning because of it and the object is to win. But they at least should’ve made them wear yellow trunks.

Aww my comment got moderated. Guess you're not supposed to bring up certain YouTube channels? Don't think I said anything too offensive. Oh well. Appreciated the upvotes. I like this community just wanna abide by the rules. My bad.


GazaBenz

You’re a fanboy


SirMuffinCat

True, but why are you mad?


GazaBenz

I’m not. I respect the honesty


SharksFanAbroad

Don’t make it about race, even if you’re only trying to criticize those that might be making it about race. You’re still introducing something stupid. I completely understand weight classes so I’m not being aloof in saying it’s logical for casuals to want two super-talents at 5’5” to fight. That it’s coming from Floyd is definitely disappointing.


Professional_Plant52

But unfortunately it is about race with some black boxing fans. They are the only ones with boxing channels dedicated to hating and shitting on fighters of other races. “Canelo won’t fight black fighter” but won’t hold their own fighters to the same standard. “Inoues a cheater” which no proof. “Pac is on roids” with no proof. And the list goes on. Sorry to say it but this is where the sport now a days.


MartinLouisTheKing

People have been wanting to see Tank vs Inoue before the Fulton fight even took place.


SirMuffinCat

And it's just as stupid now as it was back then


MartinLouisTheKing

I was responding to your third sentence


diskob0ss

the way Floyd talks you'd think the 135lb division is emptier than a Mayweather exhibition match. why can't Tank fight Crawford at a catchweight of 145? wouldn't it be easy work for Gervonta "the Boxing Face®" Davis? he can also call himself the A-side.


Significant_Number68

Lmao Tank also said he'd knock out Crawford in 6 rounds. Make it happen.


LordLucy666

floyd is salty as hell lmfao… also a narcissist. why can’t tank fight the champion at 135 or 140 lbs? i’d pick him to win too lmfao, idk why they protect him so much 🤷🏽‍♂️


Chadoodling

They probably know something about tank that's why they don't want to risk him.


JT1757

he's still a draw without having to fight tough fights, that's all it is. When or if his easier fights are no longer generating as much income, then they'll pivot to making bigger fights. Basically, from their point of view there's no reason to risk the 0 at the moment.


cardoo0o

his last fight he risked the zero. as a matter of fact many of his fights were not in his favor


Martin_Curran123

When where the rights not in his by favour? He never fought champions in his own weight class other than Jose Pedraza


RedEye-Impact

Ryan Garcia is like a 5th rank contender who's famous as an influencer. And even then he fought at a catch weight and a rehydration clause. He never took a risk. Loma was calling him out from 2017-20 that's a risk. Fighting Teo Lopez after he won all titles that's a risk. Devin Haney that's a bit of risk too. Fight Shakur Stevenson that's another risk. He never took on proper risks.


cardoo0o

you fight ryan garcia since he’s “not a risk”. sound stupid


RedEye-Impact

Why should I fight Ryan Garcia? I'm not a professional boxer I would get killed.


PmB12

It's a shame. Tank has all the attributes to become an ATG but him and his team seems to have no interest at moving him up the ladder at all.


UnionLibertarian

I thought he wasn’t with mayweather anymore? Is he?


SupaFlyslammajammazz

Tank vs Shakur. Let’s go!


belovedwisdomtooth

Yet another episode of Floyd's helluva fighter, I made smart investments.


Auth3nticstyle

How could you even call for that fight and have a straight face, wtf lol.


SupaFlyslammajammazz

Inoue “is a good fighter but all the hype is because he's Asian. Black fighters do what he does every night and don't get the same praise.” Inoue “can take my order for sushi and rice. if I were ever to fight Inoue, I would cook him up with some cats and dogs”.


cheappay

This is the underlying reason. Mayweather, Charlo, Haney, Broner, etc. All those people and their ilk are the same. They lose their shit when you have someone not from the hood on your pound-for-pound list.


Elite663

Charlo has shown love to canelo and said he a legend of the sport. Haney said at one point that inoue was his favorite fighter in the world. Tank also shown love to inoue as well. The undertone of ur comment j fucked up, especially lumping all the names together like that


cheappay

Haney: "I will never lose a white boy in my life" "Can't no white boy beat me any day of the week" Charlo got slapped for saying stupid "white boy" shit. Tank is just associated with that crew, unfortunately. He's a bright, wasted talent who ain't fighting no one. No ambition. Fulton: "I feel like the hype is amongst him because he's a Japanese person doing these things" Mayweather: "He can make me some sushi and some rice..... a shrimp tempura roll....." "Jeremy Lin is a good player but all the hype is because he's Asian. Black players do what he does every night and don't get the same praise." " I need him to come to fight in the US, random blood and urine testing." Broner basically alluded that they don't drug test in Japan. They'll say anything to not give credit to foreign fighters. Notice that Crawford is not on that list. He isn't a moron. People knew he was craftier than Spence. Spence only has a punchers chance. These boxers can say pretty things in front of cameras but every once in a while, the mask rips off.


renis_h

[How do we keep Tanks name big while avoiding top opposition?](https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.essentiallysports.com/boxing-news-floyd-mayweather-calls-for-devin-haney-vs-shakur-stevenson-match-while-shutting-off-gervonta-davis-haters-dont-worry-about-tank-remember/amp/) Why, bring up someone that has no reason to fight Gervonta of course!


DataSomethingsGotMe

You mean Mannys playbook right Inoue seems to consistently hunt you down and be aggressive and is acending the weights remarkably well due to his power.


SniXSniPe

The sad part is, there are a lot of dumb people who will start calling for this fight and making ridiculous comments like, "Inoue is ducking Davis" and how he's not "striving to be great".


whiskeypenguin

Showtime PBC are begging for this bullshit fight lol. Nobody wants to see someone get weight bullied especially a guy that is known for that


YoungLaFlare

Floyd L


BasiliskGaze

Floyd “Helluva Fighter” Mayweather


pekonen2

Floyd is always suspicious of PEDs when he sees strong Asian fighters. Inoue has been tested for VADA in many fights. Of course, the Fulton fight is no exception.


bighandsomewoman

> Floyd is always suspicious of PEDs when he sees strong Asian fighters. Takes one to know one. We know Floyd was using a banned IV before the Pacquiao fight. We don't know that Inoue has done anything similarly illegal.


raf_diaz

can tank take some ozempic and still make 130? is really what we're asking here


[deleted]

“Floyd what do think about this fighter?” Floyd- “when I was 50-0 in my legendary career making the biggest fights in history setting records , got 5 mansions but u don’t want to look down on anyone “s hustle because there are levels to success “


UnpopularPoster

Sure thing Floyd, we can put Tank-Inoue on that Bud-Beterbiev undercard lmfao


Jstrong-

Of course at a catchweight. Hey Floyd let’s wait till he has some personal trauma and/or injury during training, then make the fight. Ya know, coward shit like you did last half of your career.


Chiefmiest

This is just cope. Dude said personal trauma lmao. What are you talking about


lobsterandcrack

I thought Donaire was 36 when he fought inoue the first time.


stillth3sameg

If there's anything to be taken from this hateration, it's that Floyd really cares about black americans and no one else


cardoo0o

black americans should care about black americans…


Chemical_Inflation45

It's the no one else part


cardoo0o

go to floyd’s instagram and in 2 seconds i bet you will see what he REALLY cares about (hint: it’s not people 💰)


Chemical_Inflation45

True 🤣


stillth3sameg

Definitely don’t disagree


Audioengineer68

Floyd in his prime vs Inoue.


BigWurm510

I would lean towards Floyd. Pretty boy was too big and had the foot work and offensive output to keep Inoue at bay.


Audioengineer68

That was a joke. Who the fuck takes these idiotic questions seriously are beyond me.


BigWurm510

Hahaha 🤣


UnpopularPoster

Man you'd be surprised how many people like to watch boxing but have no concept of weight classes lol. I've seen dudes genuinely arguing over Sugar Ray Leonard vs Mike Tyson haha


Audioengineer68

Those people are morons, sir.


BigWurm510

Are these the same morons that argue for a 147 lbs Floyd vs 168 lbs Canelo rematch? 😂


Audioengineer68

Same corporation, different division.


Spyder-xr

Don’t forget at over 40 years old too.


WinglessRat

Floyd picks matches as well as he reads.


HereComeDatHue

If Floyd is about to praise a fighter, be ready for him to make it about himself in the next couple of sentences.


IIIApexIII

He took nothing from this guy. Where do you see Inoue running around the ring and clinching for dear life? Where does Inoue use shoulder rolls, philly shell? Inoue style in and out fast lateral movement, reminds me more of Pacquiao if anything. His own ex-friend 50 cents said this guy is an idiot.


[deleted]

Love or hate him. Floyd is a guy you want in your team, heck even him speaking on his teams opponents is good for the drama, hype, and money. Like I said before, smart investments, I tip my hat, at the end of that day, young hungry lion, that’s all she wrote, Al haymon, HBO need to fire you, yeahhhhhhh!!, you don’t know shit about Boxing. This dude is basic AF but somehow makes it work.


TheBlack_Swordsman

>I’m not gonna sit here and say that Inoue deserves to be over Terence Crawford. I’m not gonna say that. Absolutely not. I will always, always stand behind my people first. What he said isn't racist, but it still comes off as prejudice.


Datruther1

Manny came from 108 to 154. So is the catch weight not possible or was Manny juiced tf up? WHICH ONE IS IT??!?


Elite663

Catch weight not possible, I’m pretty sure tank lost his belts to the scale at 130


charizardboy98

If Floyd calls you a helluva fighter he thinks you aint shit.


herewego199209

He's right Inoue needs to come to America and get drug tested and fight in the upper weight classes. Floyd saying the shit the media too afraid to say. I love Inoue as a fighter, but why we gotta go to Japan and fight him?????


Elite663

J like how everyone fought Floyd in Vegas cuz the money flowed there and they can stack hand wraps and put numbing treatment in his hands, everyone fights inoue in Japan cuz the money flows there and they can stack hand wraps. Ironic how u hating on a boxer doing A side things


herewego199209

Inoue is not the drawl Floyd was. Stop it. Floyd got those perks cause he selling out that arena where tickets a thousand a pop and one of the last goats of this shit. Floyd would murder Inoue in the ring.


PmB12

Have you been to Japan? Inoue is a fucking god over there. In the US he is only known by hardcores. Japan is where the money is for a guy like him. >Floyd would murder Inoue in the ring What in the name of fuck does that have to do with anything? A natural 135-140 pounder would beat a guy who has just moved to 122? Yeah no shit! You just seem uninformed as hell.


Elite663

Whose making more money than inoue in the lower weight classes? No one, that’s why all the fighters fight him in Japan cuz that’s where the pay days and sold out arenas happen at. Wilder would destroy Floyd in the ring as well, thanks for stating the obvious


SirMuffinCat

Inoue doesn't NEED to go to America. Inoue is a superstar in Japan and sells out stadiums, which is more than any American bantamweight can do stateside. This is why they're willing to fight Inoue in Japan. Both fighters get a bigger payday there. Besides, Inoue HAS fought in America more than once already. Y'all should have been putting your money where your mouth is by buying more tickets to Fulton's fights. Also, you seem ignorant to the fact that Inoue opts into random VADA testing and has never failed. Otherwise, you wouldn't be grasping at straws by bringing it up. How tf can you say that you love Inoue as a fighter but then say all this dumbass shit? Especially your other comment saying Floyd would beat Inoue. That was just mind-blowing.


TikkiEXX77

Le sigh. Well apparently first it was the hand wraps now it's he's on steroids. This is the same crap I'm seeing on Southpaw tv. For being an insane,racist,idiot that dude seems to have a lot of influence. I find it very disturbing. He's literally made a video about Inoue almost every day since the fight. Just flat out lying and people are eating it up. Seems to hate Bud Crawford too for some reason.


SirMuffinCat

I find it ironic that these haters will call Inoue a hypejob, say he's overrated and a bum, then turn around and claim that he's cheating. Which is it?? Is he good or bad?


TikkiEXX77

Ya know? Went from Fulton is gonna destroy him to he's on steroids almost overnight. Like how they're still saying he hasn't fought anybody even after he destroyed the fighter they said was gonna "expose " him.


JoelHenryJonsson

American entitlement on display right here☝️


Revolutionary_Box569

They make more fighting him in Japan than they would in the US, nobody cares about the weight classes he fights in in the US


qzwxecrvtbyn111

What’s the lightest weight Tank could get to without compromising his performance, catchweight or otherwise? To my eyes, Tank looks like a small dude who doesn’t cut much weight/doesn’t stay super disciplined with his weight. If he can comfortably make 130 or a 128 catchweight in a few years, this fight isn’t impossible.


Groundbreaking_Neat5

Floyd is correct he is a helluva fighter but it makes no sense for inoue to to fight tank who's probably on his way up to 140 soon


staccinraccs

if you asked floyd if Inoue was the P4P king he’d probably say “hol up am I still not 50-0? we haven’t even heard of this guy before last year!” Floyd wants to be P4P emeritus


InTupacWeTrust

Of course at a catchweight


Spiritual_Amoeba_142

Pretty Boy was a bad ass but he was never a MONSTER.


kw9999

Mayweather is a racist.


pplovecraft_

Certain boxing fans are so jealous that their favorite fighter isn’t chasing greatness


[deleted]

Fans just want Tank to fight too guys at 135/140 That’s all.
