Interestingly, Rodriguez is ranked higher on The Ring and ESPN’s pound for pound lists than Nakatani. Inoue is already in his early thirties. The best time to make either of these fights would be in the next year or two, when they are still in their prime. Bam might be young but that doesn’t mean he isn’t ready to take the biggest challenges. Inoue might be considered the better fighter but I don’t think that fight would be a blowout. If he was competitive and the fight goes the distance, his stock would go up even in a loss.
That's a good opinion, though I do have a different view but yes why not if he and his camp is willing to take that step for his career, it's always an open opportunity that might happen if either Inoue or Nakatani accept that challenge, like what you said he might be young but it's true that the eagerness inside him can be fuel up when one of these two champs gives him that fight.
Though most of the handlers are not into this kind of risk as they value the money more than anything, if they see big risk they might not take that path and will just continue where they are getting decent opportunity.
