Here's to a thread that gets back on topic about boxing instead of the trash the front page is filled with right now.
Anyways, Chavez Jr is scheduled to fight Rubio next and I fully support the fight. I think Rubio deserves a shot and hope he makes the best of it. However I think he's getting laid out about mid-way through the fight, so that is the reason why I feel confident in projecting forward.
Base line rule of the thread though, Sergio Martinez IS NOT an option, because it is quite clear that Arum will go to many lengths to ensure that Martinez is not afforded the opportunity to regain his title. And lastly, this is not Chavez bash thread, that **** is for the birds.
Here are my choices, with the number one choice at the top, followed by the rest
vs. Felix Sturm
vs. Saul Alvarez @ 160
vs. Arthur Abraham
vs. Pirog
vs. Cotto @ 158
vs. G. Johnson @ 168
vs. Martiyosan

I think a Sturm/Chavez fight would be pretty awesome. As far as the others. I think of course Alvarez/Chavez would be money. Abraham, not sure if he's going to stick at 160/168 but at either weight, it'd be a barnburner. Pirog, for some reason is so overrated on these boards off of the Jacobs win, that maybe a Chavez fight is just what is needed. Cotto at a catchweight and even at 160, although its honestly a crap fight and Chavez is just too big, people are interested in it, so might as well be an option. Cotto can make it interesting.
Glenn Johnson is the type of fighter who'll test everyone. He seems to be the never ending barometer of whether a fighter deserves to be in the fight game. Chavez is so big that 168 seems like a natural progression. And lastly, Martiyosan is a guy who seemingly never has a fight lined up and barks more than he bites, two pretty similarly sized guys, lets see what he has.
