    Bam Rodriguez’s resume is a lot better on paper.

    He’s beaten some great names but all of which have been past their best IMO.

    Still a truly elite fighter and top 5 P4P on my list but I do think his timing has been perfect both in and outside the ring.

    I’d like to see him fight the Ioka-Martinez winner next.

    Definitely an elite fighter, but yeah, his really big wins have come against guys slightly on the slide (with the exception of Sunny - a win I expect to age well). I think he beats everyone at 115 but the fights need to be had, certainly the Ioka - Martinez winner or the Kosei - Rodriguez winner should be the priorities. Conceivable we could see undisputed at 115 before the end of 2025.

    Fight I'd fkn love would be Junto vs Bam at 118 though, assuming Junto sticks around at Bantam long enough.

      I expected Sunny to give him problems, was a very impressive performance. I’d like to see him try and unify the 115 division too.

      Would be a badass fight. Ideally, Bam cleans up at 115, Junto cleans up at 118 and then they meet in the ring.

        So he is following Canelo`s blue print, doesn`t he?

        But his wins are more impressive and better still.

          Interesting take.

            It is true, isn`t it?

            Canelo`s best wins are Kovalev, GGG and Cotto and all these guys were over the hill...so..

            Bam is very good IMO. he has a much better resume than Canelo at his age.

              Bam vs Junto is the one I want. We just need Nakatani to stop growing so fast.

                  guys like canelo/floyd etc...wait until the right time to fight guys even though they have the power to make the fight at any time. bam did not have any power to make estrada fight him a couple years ago since estrada was the a-side. he didnt wait until rungvisai was older, he fought him in his first title defense, and he only won the title by stepping in on short notice. he took advantage of opportunities to get big names, while other guys squandered them purposefully so
