I think it looks like Chris John has to fight Yuriorkis Gamboa Sometime during the first half of the next year (can someone confirm this) so I'll go with that. While not getting the attention of Juanma's and Gamboa's John is a solid pro who is consistent and well balanced (apart from a lack of power). Thats a good fight While I didn't see Litzau beat Caballero thats a massive win and upset of the year for me, that has to put him right up there in the rankings. He is a exciting but limited pro. I would like to see him (or Caballero) against mabye Daniel Ponce De Leon or a rematch. Thats a very exciting fight and I think De Leon deserves a shot at a better fighter now. This leaves either new world champ Hozumi Hasegawa (problem with location of fight though) or Elio Rojas to take on Juan Manuel Lopez. This would end up (if Juanma wins) with a multiple belt unification fight if he goes on to fight Gamboa. I know this won't happen but I think it would be nice for 126 to play out that way over the next year. What do you want to see?
Gamboa , John , Rojas , Lopez A mixture of the above mixing it up , Rojas is an undiscovered gem who willm cause all of the above problems Its a great division , Arum holds the key to the fights we want , it will be very interesting Would be refreshing to see Hasegawa take on Caballero in Japan naturally but thats really ambitious
Yeah I agree. Rojas is the only one I've seen little of. Has he accomplished much in his career yet (although he's only had around 20 fights he's a world champ) or is it purely based on his skills? I know little of the division outside of these few unfortuantly.
