    Chavez Jr is too good for him frankly.

    This is from Rafael's chat..

    Within Top Rank, they prefer Barker because they think he is the easiest. They view Rubio as the toughest.

    BIG mistake!

    I'd love to see Barker expose Chavez. Then again I'd very much favour Rubio to beat him as well, and Manfredo would at least be competitive.

    He wouldnt expose him tbh, maybe he has a good chance of beating Chavez beat him but i guarantee it will be a close fight either way.

    sounds promising for Barker

    my bet would be on Manfredo.

    I hope Barker gets the shot and beat him in fact i hope any of the three mentioned beat Chavez.

    Arum is pissing me off just trying to match him what he thinks easy so he can put him and cotto together keeping it all in house.i thought martinez could go for WBC being 'champion emeritus' or am i wrong?

    I do think Chavez Jr would probably take this. But choosing Barker would be the stupidest out of them options as a supposed 'routine defence', Rubio would probably sell better as well

    He can, but Rubio is also trying to force the WBC to give him a title shot and they'll bend the rules if Uncle Bob pays them enough.

    Would barker have a chance of getting the decision? Maybe picking him as hes not perceived as a puncher
