    How likely is this fight to happen and how important is it regarding their futures?

    I wouldn't like to see this as I like to see Junto go to 122 and 126.

    If I'm Nakatani I'm looking at this as the ultimate fight to aim for if he chooses to move up from bantamweight at some point. I don't think Inoue will be at 122 for too long, so I can see this being a featherweight superfight in a few years. It's a fight I think both guys would take, especially in a few years when Nakatani is around 30 and Inoue is older. If they fought tomorrow I think Naoya would smoke Nakatani, but in the future it could be very competitive.

    In 2 years this will be a mega fight at 126 and I will absolutely be there.

    I like both but on a P4P basis Inoue is a class above, plus Inoue is vastly more proven at the higher weight classes.
