Is Bam a future P4P King? (Video)

Bam vs Nakatani would be a huge fight as well. That's a fight where I can see Nakatani getting the better of Bam.

 

could happen. nakatani is legit, and this is new territory for bam, he may find hes not as effective against bigger stronger guys. bam hasnt faced any real hurdles, hes so far made it look easy. what happens when he faces a crisis in the ring still remains to be seen.
personally, i think hes gonna blow nakatani out of the water. hes too strong, hits too hard, and is way too talented to lose too much over 3 lbs. if he was 30, that would worry me, but the kid might not even have stopped growing yet.
i knew this kid was special the first fight i saw him, before he had a title. hes a natural fighter that was blessed with the tools to rise above other naturals. hes got the jaw, the power, the speed, and the reflexes to go as far as his ambition and worth ethic can to take him. inoue is the closest thing to him. thats the fight that would put bam up in rarefied air. thats the fight he could get knocked out.

 

Nakatani is too good of a fighter to be just blown out of the water from Bam. Bam has the goods and very talented but like all fighter they have their limitations. It's still telling how he got dropped by Gallo so whose to say that Nakatani wouldn't be able to do the same and perhaps hurt him badly?

Before Bam considers facing Nakatani I would really like to see him go up against Fernando Martinez, who is another fighter than can give him a tough outing.

 

i think he will fight martinez and choco in the next 10 months, and end next year with nakatani.
when i envision these fights i see them in a natural progression. the way i would advice him if i was handling him. he is still developing so he needs to be brought along correctly. bam will be better by the time nakatani becomes the target, by having beat another legend and unifying another division. he will be ready to make his statement.

 

Nakatani is most likely fighting Inoue by summer 2025 so I dint see Bam there.

 

Those would be great lineups for Bam's 2025 run. I still think it's not a foregone conclusion that he beats Nakatani though. Nakatani himself is on his way to greatness and is only gonna keep getting better as well. He could very well be the guy that could give Bam and Inoue their toughest fights and perhaps beat both if he continues improving.

 

didnt know that. i think its better for nakatani if he takes bam on first. its a smarter move, as its a more winnable fight for similar money. bam-nakatani would sell out the alamo dome. if he wins that, the inoue fight becomes that much bigger. if he moves up, bam will eventually get to both.

 

i just dont see any weaknesses in bam. most fighters i can watch and see holes that i would exploit if he were my problem. with bam, when i think i found a chink, he changes it the next rd. if he doesnt want to be touched, you cant touch him. if he wants you in front of him, you cant get away. if he wants you at distance, thats where you stay. and his punch selection for a 24 yo is insane. kid is inventing punches. i guarantee saturdays ko punch was never practiced.
all that tells me theres very little learning left, now its just perfecting the motions and putting them together in a well planned strategy.

 

I don't see Inoue fighting Bam, if Bam, claims the timeline is 3-4 years. By then Inoue will likely be retired. Nakatani is a more likely opponent for Bam in the next year or 2. Inoue might get Nakatani 1st though, so it's all up in the air.
