    Yea that is a tough fight for Vargas that was why I qualified it, if he wins I would be willing to accept him as an opponent for Bradley not a great one but it would at least be passable.

    Top Rank is really thin from 140 to 154, maybe they can dig up Mike Jones~
    I'm thinking through TR and non GBP fighters

    Abregu is back.. but again, doubt he wants a rematch, especially since Abregu hasn't done anything since Canada. Ranked 5th by the WBO
    Vargas if he wins.... but if Khabib wins, Arum might keep him in JWW.

    Brook, a maybe...if he wants to take it this time
    Marquez, a possibility again....if he wants the money (but Bradley wants the big fights).
    Chris Van Heeredn has the IBO, but I heard he's dropping it soon.
    Dan Dan off that nice win of Bizier in Canada...unlikely
    Frankie Gavin? Shoot, Just throwing names out there....actually ranked third by the WBO.

    Bethuel Ushona? Hahaha, Dunno, ranked 2nd in the WBO and has wins over decent African comp. Kaizer Mabuza, Isaac Hlatshwayo , Emmanuel Clottey

    Honestly... don't really like any of them....maybe Brook or Vargas if he beat Khabib. If Vargas didn't fight Khabib though, then i wouldn't be interested in it at all

      If money is the issue would a Marquez rematch bring more that a Pacquiao rematch for Bradley? I doubt it.
      I assume the Bradley Silence and the Marquez not retiring is looking like that.
      Don't know... maybe he didn't like the money, I think Bradley still wants the rematch because he was calling for one after the pac fight.

      Marquez wouldn't bring him more money... and I don't see Arum rewarding Marquez for not taking the Pac fight and losing to Bradley.
      Guess Arum wants to run two PPV events again. Doesn't make sense because where would he stick that PPV?
      My guess is a tune-up fight for Bradley, then a summer PPV against Marquez again right before Floyd's fight, then a rematch with Pac in December? Or milk Bradley until the Pac rematch. Bradley beating Marquez again as clear as the first one would make a Pac fight and a Pac victory better for Pac.

      This is all just my speculation though.

        That list of names is grim Top Rank really need Jesse Vargas to come through but if Khabib wins they will have to use him where ever as they need credible guys.

        Mayfield is a guy they could use I guess but he needs some wins also, but given his advanced age I am sure he would jump at a chance to step up.

          He would... but dude has nothing... Herrera? Whoopty doo... Mayfield was supposed to be a Khabib sacrifice.

          Telling you..... I got nothing. Maybe they bring a 140 guy up..... but nothing really interesting at 140 other than Provo, who'll most likely fight Pac... and Provo has a claim to a rematch.

          Lundy? He has the decent win over Ajose... but he should square things with Molina first.

          Bradley is screwed in this category

                Bradley couldn't manage to win one clear round the first time, so most people don't need a rematch to know how it would go. I'd like to see it, if only to correct the wrong done on paper.

                  I'm absolutely sick of Arum matchmaking. He's cashing out on Pacquiao and protecting Bradley, because Bradley is all he has remaining in the 140-147 divisions. This is a bull**** fight which Ruslan never originally wanted and the fans all know that.

                    I agree in the part where I don't think it should be Provodnikov either because they are friends, sparring partners, have the same trainer, and even though Provo has been to 147 he's currently at 140 so they arent even in the same weight division and he shouldn't be getting mentioned as an opponent. But I also don't think that Bradley should be in line because Pacquiao already beat Bradley clearly the first time. So the real question should be, who would be a good fresh opponent for Pac to fight next had he not got robbed on the Bradley fight? It's not Floyd because Floyd will duck his way to the end of time but who else?
