    You've heard it here first should the fight happen.

    Cintron KO Cotto.

    Still Cintron isn't particularly deserving of this shot at Cotto I feel, but hey, thats Top Rank. Finesse is going to go ape**** at me :yep

    Chavez vs. Zbik seems like an odd fight to air on CBS.

    Top rank has a monopoly on the sport now.

    If CBS is in fact inclined to give Top Rank a stage to air live boxing, then Arum would be wise to optimize the opportunity by matching together fighters that will likely produce a ko, or an entertaining action fight.

    I wouldn't be surprised if they pair it with a CBS replay of Pac/Mosley.

    Signing Bradley would seal it.

    Yeah, exactly. I think a fight like Cotto-Mayorga would have been a good fit for CBS. Mismatch or not, that's going to be an entertaining fight while it lasts.

    Chavez/Zbik on CBS would be great for boxing.

    Agreed, Cotto-Mayorga would have been a perfect fight to get this stage considering their popularity and styles.

    It would be a shame if Top Rank/CBS put lots of marketing and promotion behind boxing's return to network television only to produce a dud.

    Which is why I think a match-up like Chavez Jr.-Zbik is so strange. If Top Rank is smart, they won't put Jr. in with a fighter like Zbik who doesn't make the most exciting fights. They'll be better served matching him with another John Duddy type.
