    Bam's a legit big talent, but he's not ready for Inoue. It would be like when Canelo fought Mayweather. Just was not ready. Why doesn't he have a fight scheduled though?

    As an American, I kind of like the idea of sending our man to campaign over in Japan for a while though, giving them hell. Like what Ali did to Europe. He could probably starch all of 118 in Japan until he got to Nakatani. Now that would be a fight.

    He is but he's about the same size as Inoue and he's 25 y/o and it would be a great match up. He said will be ready for Inoue in 3-4 years IIRC which is a female dog move because Inoue will be residing in a care home by that time if he hasn't already retired before then

    For sure. Junto will test that chin of his like never before

    Japanese Level ain't no joke. Neither is Mexican Level either and American Level isn't as bad as most make out IMO.

    No, the aura of Inoue pulled out of both Goodman and Picasso, after ghost ****ing their minds into submission, they'd had enough without setting even foot in the ring with him, knees taken.:sisi1

    With a name like that you'd think the kid wouldn't have minded spending 10 seconds on the canvas....

    Inoue will be fighting Ramon Cardenas on May 4th. I like Cardenas but I don't think he has enough fire power to beat Inoue.

    Take away Saudi money and let UK promoters do Fury vs Usyk and Fury vs AJ for you think Fury would earn n more from the Uysk fight??

    It's your examples that are horrible

    Bam’s chin seems solid. He’s been cracked clean on the jaw a few times without issue. The one time he was knocked down was a flash knockdown against Estrada and just made him mad, didn’t even seem hurt.

    Nakatani would definitely be a test. How’s Nakatani hold up to body shots though? (a legit question for any Bam opponent). For anyone who hasn’t been in there with a relentless body attacker yet, Bam is a test.
