Who is left?we all know Arum likes to keep it in house.....who is left? I know Cotto wrecked the plans because he was suppose to be next .then Bradley..so now what?
did he officially SIGN with Golden Boy Promotions? I thought he just signed up for a rematch, not sure if he officially SIGNED WITH GOLDEN BOY!
no he's a free agent I asked today and he has no promotional obligations
I find it funny that Kirkland has to beat Angulo, Molina, and Vanes, just to get his shot against Canelo. It's insanity. To me, Canelo is not a real good option for Floyd unless he beats Kirkland or Cotto. Until he does that, it's a C+ fight to me.
He's not getting a shot at Canelo until Canelo faces Floyd. Nobody who can come even marginally close to beating him will face him until he fights Floyd
When that fight happens, he sells 1.5 mil PPVs, gets beat by floyd which wont affect him negatively but positively with the exposure he will get
Its ridiculous that Canelo is yet to face a 154 fighter
I completely agree
With this win Kirkland will have better wins at 154 then Canelo and Cotto combined, yet he is like #6? GTFO

You know depending on how either Kirkland or Molina win. More than like Floyd-Canelo wouldn't crown a lineal champ. It might crown a Ring champ but not lineal. And, if the ring had true credibility the winner of Molina-Kirkland depending on how they get the victory should be rank #1 at 154 at worse #2. Therefor blocking a possible Floyd-Canelo Ring title fight.

Assumming Floyd actually going to fight in November or December this year, and assuming Sergio is fighting Lee in August, as well as assumming Floyd and Pac can't their s**t together, here's what I'd like to see.
Kirkland, if he beats Molina, fights Vanes in June to get the shot at Canelo. Kirkland, if he beats Vanes, fight Canelo in September, and the winner fights Floyd in December. It'll never happen like that, but one can hope.....
Brandon Rios, Juan Manuel Marquez, Timothy Bradley rematch (if Bradley pulls off the upset). Pac will fight Brandon Rios before his career is over. I can see it now. Rios kills Abril in April, and they make a Rios-Marquez fight at 140 for July to determine who fights Pac fights in November or December at 144.
JMM IV, rest, Bradley II, Rios and/or Gamboa, . and maybe another fight we can't see yet, boxing can change in one fight. Young guys just now establishing the new set of elite. and heII maybe gbp and TR start working together again
Arum has said in interviews that Rios is someone they see fighting Manny in the future. If he continues his run, they will make it possible to get that fight.
Gamboa said many times that Pac is his ultimate goal - no idea what happens now but if he stays with TR and they say OK, fight A-B-C guys to get a fight with Pac and u can have it. thats part of the reason why he was calling out the toughest guy out there in Rios
Peterson is a Golden Boy fighter
did he officially SIGN with Golden Boy Promotions? I thought he just signed up for a rematch, not sure if he officially SIGNED WITH GOLDEN BOY!
Manny probably wont fight again until Nov/Dec. A lot can happen until then. Just like Ortiz went from being the #7 JWW to #2 WW out of nowhere with the win over Berto
You never know but maybe a JMM quad-match
JMM fourth fight.
Whilst Floyd takes on the next GBP fighter, Canelo.
well if floyd beats Cotto i cant knock him for fighting Canelo and unifying the WBA and WBC and winning the ring belt and becoming the lineal champ at 154....and i guess you are right a 4th Jmm fight would be the only option..but after that..then what??seems like he's out of options with Top Rank
