    Not really a step up, is it? Solis better be fighting some top 15 guys before he targets a Klitschko, or he is in for a bad surprise...

    No, not really... but it isn't the worst opponent either.
    And I'm not sure he's going for one of the K brothers, based on his opponents of late. It may be for his WBC international strap, but his last opponents were former WBA challengers.

    He is #2 in the WBC and #8 in the WBA. Öner said that he targets either Klitschko, and that they are avoiding Solis...:think

    Ok, didn't know he was really targetting the Klits.
    Can't imagine they would avoid Solis on this stage of his career though ;)

    I'd prefer to see Solis get in decent shape before targeting any Heavyweights of note. There's nothing as frustrating as seeing a guy with all the talent necessary to be the best but lacking the discipline to make it a reality.

    From what I've seen of Drummond he is an average fighter with a good record. Solis isn't ready for either Klitschko yet so he needs to get in rounds and condition. I wouldn't mind seeing him face someone slightly better but Drummond is an ok opponent for now. Solis by ko.
