Vergil Ortiz's barely warmed up and shaked off ring rust before Tony Weeks stopped the bout in the first round.

If Ortiz and Tszyu were making a deal for the summer with Tim fighting Erickson Lubin in March, who should Vergil fight?
There is:
Charles Conwell (18-0, 13 KOs): He is a hard hitting contender in his prime. Accidentally killed Patrick Day in the tenth round knockout.
James Metcalf (25-2, 15 KOs): Experienced vet coming off wins against Kerman Lejarraga (Avanesyan's second best win) and Dennis Hogan whom Tim knocked out in the fifth round some time ago.
Liam Smith (33-4-1, 20 KOs): Gritty gatekeeper with experience against the top. Was recently stopped by Eubank Jr.
Brian Mendoza (22-3, 16 KOs): Tszyu just gave him a UD beat down after going consecutive streak of big wins over Rosario and Fundora. Vergil have a common opponent with Tim, but it seems rather recent.
Israil Madrimov (8-0-1, 6 KOs): Uzbek boxer with a deep amateur, is currently in talks with Magomed Kurbanov. Has a win over Michel Soro.
Erickson Lubin (26-2, 18 KOs): Currently coming off a controversial win over Jesus Ramos, is rumored to be in talks to fight Tim soon.
Brian Castaņo (21-1-2): Has not been active since 2022. Could probably hear something soon.
Radzhab Butaev (15-1, 12 KOs): After fighting and losing to Stanionis in a competitive bout, he moved up knocking out the Uzbek golden Olympian Fazliddin Gaibnazarov (Was 11-1, 6 KOs) in the third round.
Sebastian Fundora (20-1, 13 KOs): Is in talks to fight Sergii Bocachuk (22-1, 22 KOs), would be a interesting fight Ortiz vs Fundora if both fighters were in a winning streak.
Danny Garcia (37-3, 21 KOs): Has been quiet of late, had a performance against Benavidez Jr recently and was in talks for Erislandy Lara at 160, but nothing has been mentioned for months.
Jesus Ramos is coming off a loss and Xander Zayas is currently stepping up. I believe both will be ready by 2025 to fight at the top echelon.
