Alvarez, Alvarez, Alvarez!!!

I hope it's Alvarez.

Cotto-Alvarez would be a big payday for Cotto, and a big fight in general. If Cotto wins, he puts himself in line for another huge payday, possibly a Floyd rematch. And if Alvarez wins, it gets him a win over one of the Top fighters around 154 lbs, and puts him in line to fight Floyd.

I'm just worried that Cotto may be too big of a step up for Alvarez.

I also wouldn't mind seeing Cotto fight the N'Jikam guy for the MW title, so that Alvarez can fight in someone like Kirkland in December first. Than, have Alvarez-Cotto in May/June 2013.

If Cotto picks N'Jikam though, I'd be a little upset. I don't see why he wouldn't fight at least Pirog, Golovkin-Proksa winner, or Geale-Sturm winner to make that MW title much more legit. N'Jikam is in the Top 10, but it's a vacant title.

Cotto vs Lara would be a good fight.

Why is Njkam still in the running? Pirog will probably keep his WBO belt now.

Why do they keep mentioning the french guy?If he wants to move up he
should mention the winner of chavez jr-martinez or ggg-proska.

Because Cotto has a thing for vacant titles.

"opponent selection" pffff. what happened to mandatory fights and eliminators? why do they even bother with rankings then?

Chavez-Sergio winner isn't really realistic for December 1st, unless Chavez wins. Sergio only fihgts every 5-7 months, so he won't fight until Feb-Apr 2013 probably. If Chavez wins, he could fight 2 1/2 months later against Cotto, but I'm sure Chavez is headed to 168 win or lose after Sergio.

Dmitry Pirog
Geale-Sturm winner
Golovkin-Proksa winner
Hassan N'Jikam

That's the order in how meanignful each fight would be. I don't see why he only wants to fight N'Jikam at 160, not the other 3 possibilities.
