Weight Class Comparison

Here’s a graph plotting age (horizontal axis) against weight class (vertical axis):

Inoue vs Davis Weight Class Graph

  • Davis started his career five divisions above Inoue
  • Currently, the gap is about three divisions
  • Inoue has conquered four weight classes, yet still competes below Davis’s debut division

Inoue is known for his power, but Davis — with the same height — seems even more powerful.
Davis is terrifying.

It makes you wonder: how can two fighters with the same height have such different weight class trajectories?
