Bika vs Andrade would be a suitable step up in class for him - and a good indicator of his chances at the top level.
I've always fancied Bika-Miranda. Battle of the dirty gatekeepers. Although perhaps Bika can do slightly better than that. Go Scorpion
I'd like to see if he can stop Allen Green, who is stylistically similar to, but slightly better than Jaidon Condrington.
I don't see this happening. I'll be surprised if he fights someone other than another "Contender"! They are going to bleed the **** out of these guys until they can't get anything out of them.
Any fight inolving Bika is guaranteed to be hard and entertaining. My vote went to Lacy (they both beat Manfredo and it would be a respectable come-back fight for Lacy, after Taylor, assuming he loses to Taylor in the first place, of course), Miranda (both going for the KO)and then Andrade, in that order. I think Bika would have too much for Lacy and Miranda. A fight against Andrade later on would be a war of epic proportions. Hopefully it would be a title fight or at least an eliminator for the mandatory challenger position.
Good call; I think it's quite likely that Froch will want to fight Bika if he beats Pascal anyway. He fought Tatevosyan after Bute beat him. There aren't that many better fighters than Bika for Froch to choose from, outside of a unification fight. Pascal might do the same if he beats Froch; it would help set up a unification fight against Bute, in Montreal.
Andrade. Unless Librado has another route for a title. But Bika may jump high in the IBF rankings, he may go for the title and a rematch against Bute, after an eliminator for the mandatory spot. Maybe Andrade could win the spot to fight Bika for the eliminator. Andrade-Bika, and then the winner agaist Bute? That would set up the rematch, if Andrade wins. I think he would win against Bika.
