WBC's top Superwelterweights:

Alfredo Angulo
Paul Williams
Ryan Rhodes
Antonio Margarito
Vanes Martirosyan
Lukas Konecny
Zaurbek Baysangurov
Kermit Cintron
Saul Roman
Erislandy Lara
Sergio Mora
Damian Jonak
Pawel Wolak
Timur Nergadze

I don't even mind if he opts for Cintron, who's ranked # 8 right now. Emanuele Della Rosa (#16), who's the WBC Int. champ, could also get a fast track to him.

Wow, as of today, Austin Trout isn't even in the WBC top 40. I wonder if he ends up fighting Alvarez next how they will justify ranking him. I imagine if they want to fight a real contender, #3 Ryan Rhodes would be their pick. He is at least a legitimate contender and seems to have earned his shot. No way he will fight Angulo, P-Will or Margarito anytime soon...

Ryan Rhodes would not be an easy fight what so ever, he has twice the skill & power of Mathew Hatton.
