Comments Thread For: Sunny Edwards believes Bam Rodriguez can challenge Naoya Inoue

Do you honestly think Espinoza can deal with Monster? Monster is not Robeisey. Remember that.

Well then what is the wait?

He's cycled through quite a few divisions already for a small guy. Espinoza has the Ramirez rematch next.

Ok so Bam beats an aged Gallo and SSR and he’s proven legit over Junto?
I firmly think Junto would do knock both of them out too.
You know that too. Junto’s resume is impressive, beating every too 3 guy the way he does.

the area I agree with you is, styles are different, and it’s gonna be a close fight. But I still stand by my opinion of Junto having more physical advantages over Bam. They are both proven legit P4P top 10 guys. I think they are the only real top 10 guys who have a strong possibility of fighting each other in the near future. The biggest fight for hardcore boxing fans.
(Canelo x Crawford is not real)

He's got physical advantages, but they're not as big as you think, compared to the stylistic differences. And Junto hasn't really been tested yet. We don't know how much dog he's got in him. We know that about Bam already. Unless you think Bam can't test him at all, that's relevant information that separates the great from the generational. I think very highly about Junto, but we don't yet know how he'll respond when he has to come through adversity.

And I think Junto v Inoue is far more likely. It's a huge fight for Japan, and would happen after Junto achieves undisputed at bantamweight, beating Takuma to do so. Bam looks like he's been avoiding Junto, TBH, so I'm not sure that fight happens any time soon, if at all.
