Its easy to say you want to fight this guy and you want to fight that guy when you are in the protective arms of Al Haymon.

Force Haymon to make those fights if you really want them.

I think Cuellar will be next which I am OK with. Good stylistic match up that will likely fill up Staples Center again like the Mares fight.

[TLC8]

Santa Cruz bulldozes through Selby and out boxes Cuellar if his chin holds up against Cuellar's power.

Santa Cruz vs. Russell Jr. is 50-50 and Santa Cruz vs. Lomachenko is 60-40 in favor of Lomachenko.

No reason why Santa Cruz shouldn't be able to fight 3 of the 4 within the next 2 years.

You miss the point. Haymon is slow to promote, slow to match make, and takes little risk. He'll never match Leo against these guys. Haymon will prove to his stable, he was the wrong guy to get tied in to.

Oh, sure. Now he'll fight about five tomato cans and blown up bantamweights in a row.

I see you know the reality - kudos to you. Yap yap yap - "give me that champ, give me the other champ - I'm ready!!" - then a string of tomato cans punctuated by a name.

LSC true to form. This guy has got the biggest yap on him. He's like that annoying poodle next door yapping behind the safety of the yard gate at all the german shepherds and rottweilers that pass by the other side.

The Mares fight was high reward-low risk - everyone knew that Mares' best days are behind him.

[bojangles1987]

I would like to see any of that, and hopefully now that Mares happened Santa Cruz can get his career back on track.

No way Leo fights Loma. Due to how things are in boxing it would be a very difficult fight to make. Not to mention I'm not sure Al Haymon would want another one of his featherweights to get outclassed like Gary Russell did.

Remember when Oscar tried to get you a unification fight against Rigo? What happened Al Haymon stepped right in and said "Hell NO" and the rest is history.

I can see the other fights being made against Gary Russell Jr. who lets call it what it is has had more breaks than most fighters after a so so resume. How you get championship fights over and over again after beating mostly tomato cans baffles me. Selby would be a interesting fight. Most people still don't know way to much about him.

Jesus Cuellar would be right there for the pickings based off his last fight. Which was not very impressive against a gatekeeper contender.

Leo is trending up in his career. Hope he does land the big fights in 2016

Let's see if Russell wants to avenge his loss against Loma in a unification fight. Or if the public is interested in that fight.

I feel as if Loma can beat the other three champions so for me it's a matter of who I want to see Loma become undisputed against.

I would take Santa Cruz as the favorite against Russell and Cuellar.

Santa Cruz should get Cuellar out of the way. Russell could fight Selby. Lomachenko could make another defense against a contender but people would give him flack. Maybe Lomachenko vs Mares?
