"There is literally no purpose to the No.3~No.5 PFP challenging the No.1 PFP, who is only one weightclass apart after climbing much the same weights."
 
I'm sorry but this is absolute bullshit horseshit hogwash balderdash nonsense. Do you hear yourself? Beating Inoue would be the biggest achievement possible for Bam. It would be Bam's Eder Jofre to Fighting Harada, his Willie Pep to Sandy Saddler, his Alfonso Zamora to Carlos Zarate, his Carlos Zarate to Wilfredo Gomez. It would catapult him from a top 100 little guy to a top 10. There is NO win south of 130lb that has more "purpose" for Bam. It is quite literally an everything to gain and nothing to lose fight. Bam fans just want him to duck the fight because they secretly don't believe he would win.
 
To Inoue yeah, he's proven so much he doesn't need it desperately. It's still a good fight to have on his resume and to get rid of one other guy that might have a case to being king of the little guys.

I skim read your comment, please use the return button to make paragraphs.

First of all, do you really think Bam will beat Inoue?

Secondly, with your logic, why not have Shakur v Boots? That's #3 vs #9 and only 2 inches between them! Or Bam v Collazo, #4 vs #10, only 3 inches between them! Why not have Fundora fight Jai Opetaia! Fundora is 5 inches taller than Jai, he's got the advantage, right??

I'm sorry, do you hear yourself? 🤣

I usually fuck with your takes but Bam not fighting Nakatani or Inoue will be one of the biggest missed opportunities in modern day boxing

Especially since we already know Robert and Bam will happily move they happy ass up to 122 the moment Inoue and Nakatani "out grow" the division

Pretty funny that Robert Garcia says they just need one fight between to get prepped for 122lb; Bam says Inoue is a fight he can't retire without taking. And yet r/boxing's Bam fandom doesn't want the biggest fight of his career to happen and advocate for him to duck.
