    It looks as though most of the top guys at 140lbs are fighting each other and not the number 1 Tim Bradley.

    Alexander is fighting Urango. Apparentley if Alexander wins he fights Hatton.
    Khan is fight Mallignaggi
    Valero is coming up to fight Lamont Peterson
    Maidana is fighting Cayo
    Ortiz is fighting Campbell
    He has already beaten Kendoll Holt

    who is left that he could fight

    in the WBO rankings there;

    No.3 Cesar Rene Cuenca - WHO??
    No.4 Lucas Matthysee - Cannot see GBP risking it
    No.5 Andrey Kotelnik - Not attractive for TV, coming of a shut out loss to Khan
    No.6 Juan Diaz - Moving back to Lightweight??

    From there its a who the hell are they club

    8 Lance Gostelow
    9 Ruslan Provodnikov
    10. Jose Miguel Cotto
    11. Kenny Galarza
    13. Gavin Rees
    14. Samuel Malinga
    15. Steven Willis


    Maybe someone like Joel Casamayor or European Champion Paul McCloskey?

    nobody, just wait, at this point of his career he should only be taking big fights

    khan will fight him in about 3-4 fights time so around 2011

    just take a break and then arrange a fight for july/august when some more big names will be free

    the loser of fraud vs mosley or clottey vs pac, he deserves a big step up because it looks like he is getting prepapred for his fights and also he keeps winning and he is not avoiding good oposition

    It sucks that Arum is having Valero avoid Bradley

    He should fight either Hatton or Marquez

    Galarza isnt ready to face someone like Bradley yet but he has a lot potential. One day he and Bradley might square off, who knows.....GO KOGA!!!

    I don't agree. An active fighter is a good fighter he should have fought someone in April. And it's not like he is 80-0. He has only 26 matches so he can further build his record.

    I wanna see him fight

    The winner of maidana/cayo

    The winner of alexander/urango

    The winner of khan/maligini

    valero,jmm, or hatton would be nice too.

    He can take a stay busy fight against some lower ranked fighter while he waits for results of the big 3 jr welter fights

    I think he beats all 3 IMO

    I think he should definitely fight Ricardo Torres.
