    I still have to think that Ward's days at 168 are limited.

    Roman Gonzalez has been talking about a permanent move to 112 for a while now.

    I would imagine Berto will be making the jump sometime soon, but that is sort of a baseless/bold prediction.

    All of Golden Boys' stock at 140 will soon be sliding up as well.

    For whatever reason I think that Alvarado will too move up to WW.

    The way that Donaire and Mares have been tearing through divisions, I expect them to be at 126 and 130, respectively, in the next year and a half at the most, barring a setback from Mares at his current 126.

    I think most fans would like to see Rigondeaux move up and fight Garcia but he has said several times that he's staying at 122:-(.

    Rigondeaux was 124 on fight night vs Donaire (according to ppl close to his camp that post on this site).

    He's even thought about going down to 118

    There are still some fights at 122 for Rigondeaux... but only a couple and odds are promoters will never let them happen.

    Mijares would be ideal for his next fight, to me.

    Nah Matthysse is a 140 fighter...

    If Lucas has to go to 147 then his prime is up.

    Khan's prime is running out very fast also.
