    I nominate Daniel Geale - he boxes well, although he might lack the firepower to keep Martinez off him.

    Rubio - he doesn't really excite, despite the win over Lemieux. Abraham at 160 would be a good fight.

    Thoughts?

    Abraham cant make in 160 anymore he'll be a zombie at that weight if he goes there again. I would actually watch Martinez Rubio. Rubio is much better then people give him credit for. And after the Lemieux fight he deserves a shot.

    I think Martinez should go up to 168 and beat Abraham.

    Geale would be an excellent choice if WBC changes it's own rules (champ emeritus getting a mandatory shot vs. regular champ).

    Rubio is a solid guy and has momentum with the Lemieux win but Martinez beats him all day long. I'd much rather see Rubio in witih someone like Chavez or Lee those would be competitive and entertaining fights. A match with Martinez would be one-sided.

    Sergio is too good for his own good.Chavez will do anything but fight him,so Rubio is the choice as he earned it.But-will HBO buy this?
