Fair offer? Yafai is nowhere near the name value of those two nor does he bring anything to the table in terms of significant victories like those two.
Yafai not ready for Inoue. Hearns just doing his job you don't throw your guy in against a monster (pun intended) until he's well established. The fights should be as follows: SSR vs Estrada Inoue vs Cuadras Chocolatito vs Yafai
Beating Inoue makes you the co-king of the division alongside the Rung-Juan winner and boosts your profile significantly. Hearn on some crack.
Yeah they said it was premature to make the Gonzales vs Inoue matchup until Inoue was more established in the US. Now Gonzales seems to be on the way out and it will never happen. Yafai is now 28, which is 4 years older than Inoue. He's probably at his peak and not going to get any better. He should take the fight while the opportunity is still there.
The difference is that Inoue himself said that he wasn't ready for Roman. Serious sign of maturity/confidence. Yafai has said that he wants the best.
