    Browne, but he already declined a fight with Gvodzyk. Wouldn't stand a chance in hell.
    Next is Jack, but he's fighting the pimp.
    Then there's Mikhalkin, but he's fighting Kova next.
    Then there's Joe Smith, but he's coming of a loss...
    Murat maybe?!

    Murat doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell either.

    Now Smith Jr has balls and legit power, his jaw is healed ... that's be a good fight.

    Christ. I see Browne is listed as fighting Francy Ntetu!? Heard rumblings Murat was going to be fighting Yarde so it might not even be him.

    Joe Smith Jr is a personal hero of mine, give him the fight immediately.

    Don't count your chickens before they hatch :), watch the WBC take 3 years to enforce Gvozdyk's mandatory.

    Both the Pimp and Alvarez are Michel's fighters anyway, so him saying he never received any step-aside money means nothing. He can just change the % of his cut out of both the Pimp's and Alvarez's fights.

    Yeah Smith Jr vs Gvozdyk would be a great fight, it's actually a dangerous fight for Gvozdyk, far more so than Alvarez would've been.

    Damn right, but I only added that for Browne to explain why he wouldn't take the fight.

    Ward retired due to fear of THE SMITH

    Well, Joe Smith Jr. (WBC#6) and Karo Murat (WBC#7) fought in July and don't have next fight scheduled yet.

    Blake Caparello (WBC#8) is not available (has a fight scheduled already).
    Jean Pascal (WBC#9) has retired.

    Lucian Bute (WBC#10) is available and he actually can also be the one for Gvozdyk. Bute has already fought DeGale, Jack and Alvarez (lost to all of them) so he may not care if he loses once more... :)

    Browne should be fighting that guy that he got a gift against in a rematch

    Kaladzic indeed. But don't think he ever will because he was litterally hanging on for dear life in that bout and it's unlikely that he gets another referee that calls everything in his favor again. Can you imagine a referee calling a 3 to 4 point swing in your favor in a single round, and letting you grab and hold the whole fight?!

    Browne looked a good prospect when he was knocking out trash then he fought a guy he was unbeaten with a draw and it was a close fight and Browne couldn't land anything powerful and at the end he won pretty much every round which was a joke and then the kaladzic fight he fought like he knew he would get the win anyway

    Yeah I bet al has set up a deal where who ever wins out of jack and pimp will fight alvarez next and Gvozdyk will be made to wait about two years.
