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?
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.
Paulie wants wages , ibf wouldnt sanction the fight after his last fight with porter being a ko loss you cant fight for a world title
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
1. Jo Jo Dan 2. Not Rated 3. Timothy Bradley 4. Amir Khan 5. Frankie Gavin 6. Shawn Porter 7. Robert Guerrero 8. Devon Alexander 9. Sadam Ali 10. Diego Chaves 11. Kevin Bizier 12. Antonin Decairie 13. Fredrick Lawson 14. Josesito Lopez 15. Yoshihiro Kamegai It has to be one of these guys as IBF wont sanction anyone else. 5. Frankie Gavin 9. Sadam Ali 10. Diego Chaves 12. Antonin Decairie 13. Fredrick Lawson 14. Josesito Lopez 15. Yoshihiro Kamegai These are the ones it has a chance of being and I would guess at 14 or 15
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
