It's not just a question of gallons. How long is the tank? If it's a tall tank, 36" long, no tang will be comfortable IMO. If it's a 48" long tank, you could get away with a kole, yellow or tomini. None of the larger or bullet-shaped tangs will work.

I don't think you asked the right question. Is any tang to small for an 80 gallon tank or did you mean the 80 gallon is to small for any tang?
