Yup, better to wait for his time, if he pushed things out he might lose and regrets things, he can continue enjoying his fame and dominance on his current division and jump up when the time he already got everything he needs especially his experience facing strong opponents, he needs those kind of fights before challenging either Nakatani or Inoue, just continue increase his worth that's the wise decision both career and money wise.
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.
Possibly it's because that Junto Nakatani, just like Inoue only fought in Japan and so he is not that expose to US boxing fans. So it's better for Nakatani to fight in the US, or if even Bam is going up in weight and challenge Nakatani, it should in the US of A and not in Japan.
So let's see how it goes for Bam next year, there are a lot of potential fights in the horizon for this kid. And I would say that he is for real and not overrated, unless he faces a Filipino who has nothing to lose and give him a close fight,
. Usually this Filipino fighters are kinda like a spoiler of the party, derailing all the plans for that big fighter.
