Abner Mares, or Oscar Valdez would be good opponents.

I'm certain it's not going to be any worthy Contender or any 1 that could really challenge Diaz as they're going 2 want this golden egg to shine...don't expect no 1 above a B-class fighter...

There are few A-level fighters at 126, and most of them are with PBC. I would like Diaz/Escandon (both are with GBP), but as you implied, JoJo is being groomed into one of Oscar's next stars so the opponent probably won't be difficult.

How about the current WBA interim champion Carlos Zambrano

Good to see a couple of promising fighters added to the Canelo undercard.

I think Warrington versus Diaz would be a very good fight for the undercard. Just don't think Hearns will let that happen.

So if Golden Boy can get Escandon, Castellanos, Rios, or Lopez to fight Jo Jo those would be good fights.

As for Quigley I would try to fight another De La Rosa type fighter to put him in their with. He's progressing nicely. No reason to rush him.

Golden Boy needs to put the petal to medal to get this undercard going.
