Does ginger take a risk with a Floyd fight looming?

[Bushbaby]

This is a serious question. The rumor is that they're fighting on the same card & hooking up later in the year. So does golden boy risk his (0) against a good jr middleweight, or they continue doing what they usually do & find some over-matched guy to further the phantom hype??

I mean, honestly now would not be the time to put ginger in with anyone dangerous. However if golden boy doesn't do that, how will they sell a Floyd/ginger fight?? If I were them, I'd tab Maidana, or maybe even Ortiz. I guess I'm resigned to the fact that some fighters can fight whoever they want, while others fight whenever they get a chance, thoughts???

[Weebler I]

I don't think they should abuse Maidana or Ortiz like that, at least have him fight a natural 154lb opponent. The Josesito Lopez fight was a joke.

[ElBossHogg™]

no one at 154 can beat him, only reason they been fighting lighter opposition is cause them dudes can help sell a fight, as opposed to anyone else in the 154 who only people paying will be people to see canelo.

You want to box, have some freaking fans at least.

[SkillspayBills]

Probably another WW moving up. I'd be almost shocked if they put him in with a lion considering the big money fight that comes with a win for Canelo.

I think Ortiz would be a risky fight for Canelo. Victor would have no problems making 154 and has the punching power to make it entertaining.
Personally I just want to see Canelo fight a legit 154 pounder. Doesn't have to be Trout, but damn fight someone in your own division!!!

[Enzo Mc is SHIT]

Trout, Cotton and Lara are all big risks with a huge payday and profile raiser coming up (even though he definitely won't win it). I expect a welterweight.

Senchenko?

[Bullrider]

He should fight Berto to deserve a fight with Queen Floyd.

I think any true boxing fan would agree with you. But my point remains. Do they test ginger (now), with a Floyd fight on the horizon?? That's the question. I don't see them testing him against a real jr middleweight now more than ever.

[4Corners]

I think it'll be Angulo, which won't be too bad I guess.

It should be Trout though.
