    I think Nakatani

    Even though Bam is rated higher on the pound for pound scale he is much smaller

    Espinoza isnt rated that highly yet.

    Japan, specifically the Japanese underworld

    I have numerous 'business associates' over in Japan and I am reliably informed they are both affiliated with the Yamaguchi-gumi clan. Inoue's brother Takuma is not Yakuza affiliated at all. Hence why he has a KO 23% and his brother and Junto have a KO 87% and a KO 77% respectively. Read into that what you will
