    Announcement coming Monday. But just trying to figure out who it'll be.

    Jo Jo Dan is mandatory but an interview with his trainer sounds like they aren't going to be in the corner in March. I'd have thought they would know by now if there's a press conference Monday.

    That said the only guys available snd viable in my mind would be

    Chavez
    Maidana
    Bradley
    Marquez

    I think Bradley would be a good choice and most likely.

    What do you guys think?
    Have you heard anything?

    None of the Above , it will be a softly softly tune up fight to get back in the swing

    totally agree Stevie. Plus no way anyone is getting Bradley over to fight in a 10,000 capacity arena, would be financial suicide.

    This, that's why Eddie wanted to get the mandatory out the way because Dan is a step below the top tier of welterweights.

    I could see it being Berto or Bundu. Was always going to be a soft opponent in his first defence and then the stabbing just settled it.

    Paulie would be decent, easy win and a name in the states but like its been mentioned would demand too much £

    Another nobody to add to a resume that is 99% filled with nobodies.

    Kell's a nice guy and a decent fighter, and I know this is a mando defence, but boy does he need some big scalps this year.

    Is everybody forgetting the whooping he handed out to Porter , When Porter beat Alexander and blew away Malignaggi he was made out to be invincible an out n out beast , Brook Schooled him where the words of Delahoya

    I think khan willfight bradley as he won get fmj or pac and bradley is the only top welter that cant punch
    Brook will be an easier fight to test his leg jo jo dan would have been perfect a decent fighter but nothing special

    Don't think b Gavin wouldn't b shocked if it's josesito Lopez as known in America won't b a big name they won't risk that in his first fight after knife attack

    True I don't think Gavin either, but Josesito Lopez is a good shout to try and build a name in America
