If Chavez can't make 160 then it's time for him to move on. Bika is a winnable fight for him and it'd be pretty fun.
He would take the Bika fight precisely because Bika is old by now.
In my opinion Chavez Jr. would rather go for Ward next, at SMW. Ward is not a big puncher (please do not quote the Dawson fight to me)... Chavez may think that he could handle out Ward...

Only way this fight happens is if Golovkin signs with Top Rank, no way they put their arguably 2nd biggest draw against a killer like GGG.
That's the real reason Top Rank won't co-promote with GB, Top Rank almost went to shit in late 2008 early 2009 when Hopkins and Mosley killed 2 of the biggest stars at Top Rank. If Manny hadn't demolished DLH Top Rank would have been hurting bad.

"Golovkin and [Daniel] Geale are the best at 160-pounds, Sergio Martinez is out. I believe that if Golovkin wanted to fight me at 168-pounds, I could knock him out. There is nobody else who could beat him out right now. I can also fight [Golovkin] at middleweight, but it would be better to fight him in the middle or at 168, because if I don't have to struggle with the weight and I go in the ring strong - I can knock him out," Chavez said.

No, he just said that he can fight at middleweight.

Well... I see you are more attentive to the literal quotes and not to the contextual sense... Chavez said he can make 160 but he would better fight at 168 or 165... A denotative, context free assertion would have looked like that: "I'll fight Golovkin at 160". Period.

A Chavez Jr. fight would bring GGG the biggest purse in his career.

I think you wanted to imply that Chavez Jr. would walk over 180 -- the same Ward or Froch (who both called GGG) would walk...
