My list here excludes Mayweather, Pacquiao II, and Martinez, as odds have to be heavily against him fighting one of them in the next 16 months. W Margarito II (redeem one of two defeats) W Angulo (to swoop the vacant lineal Ring title at 154; PR vs. Mexico) W Sturm (WBA's middleweight titlist so in that sense it is coercible, and of course this is not my recommendation but because his camp has hinted at 160 in his future before) That would put him right back in the 5-8 discussion on P4P lists by the end of 2012, obviously depending on what the rest of that bunch does.
beating margacheato puts him in the running for a megafight. vs pac, mayweather, or martinez. if he wins that and beats margacheato he will be right back to where he wa sbefore he was cheated.
his best choice is to become the ring champ at 154, he gets beaten up by pac,floyd and sergio but become lineal champion and pick up a paperbelt at 160 and he is on top.
