If Rodriguez fights both Choclotito and Estrada, wins both those fights, what an achievement that would be and it could all be done by the end of 2023. He strikes me as someone who would push themselves for this.

He seems to have the style and tenacity to beat both. Kid is the goods!

Not sure why they continue to say that stuff about Bam and Chocolatito being too good of friends to fight. Bam has said more recently that he would fight the Estrada-Choco winner. Now that he's in position to fight for big money, belts and legacy, he's not going to turn down anything, unless its to give his big bro the shot first.

Yeah man, timing is everything and Bam has youthful energy and the skills to pay the bills.

Hearn just being Hearn. That and Benn-Thurman been goofy talk. He needs to get a good schedule out though. Sky been putting it in his butt pretty hard lately.

I would like to see the Rey Martinez fight personally. He's only going to be able to make 108 and 112 for so long, and picking up a couple more divisions looks like it would be relatively easy to do for Bam. He could probably do it in a year, if the champs just agree to fight him. And if Estrada makes it past his bro, the Chocolatito v Estrada rubber match is sure to be a great fight, just like the first two. Give Bam some more time to build his legacy, and let the legends have their big fight.

I forgot they were good friends, so perhaps not! The fight with Estrada would great match up for either Bam or Chocolatito.
