He needs to fight the winner of mora/forrest (for the vacant ring belt & wbc strap) in september followed by the winner of cotto/marg in december at 154 pounds. These are the fights that make the most sense. At first I was thinking winky wright but he is rather boring and doesn't bring much to the table. Plus he probably can't even make 154, oscar will not fight above 154.
Oscar's 4 logical opponents

I don't think tito can even make 160. Oscar has said her won't fight at 160 anymore. The mosley fight does sound pretty interesting though. Both guys are from the l.a. area and oscar retires in front of his hometown fighting an old friend.Comment

A third Mosley fight would be easier to make than a second Trinidad fight for sure.Comment

Why not Kelly Pavlik?
After all, Oscar fought a bigger man, the natural light heavyweight Bernard Hopkins.Comment

Damn, I think pavlik will ****in kill oscar. He would have to outbox pavlik and oscar is not as quick as he used to be. Pavlik would have to go down in weight though because oscar won't fight @ 160. He said he feels 150-154 is his natural weightclass.Comment

I understand that, but DLH fought Hopkins at 160.
But yes, Pavlik would hurt him.Comment
