After Juniors win tonight, realistically who do you think he should fight next?
Should he go to the U.S and take on the big boys, (if any of them will fight him)
Or
Should he stay home for a couple of defences to build confidence then go for the big boys?
My view Tony and Pwilliams need fights and that would defo get junior well needed exposure.
or a rematch with Zab?
Dont care who it is but i WILL be in the front row. :clap:
nah no props in taking on Zab again....
for me Cotto is the route he will take... loads of credit and puts him in line for a super fight when he ko's him ;D
Cotto would be a good fight for Junior but i doubt Arum would risk him, as he has only just moved up a weight,and Cotto has great earning potential in yrs to come and Arum doesnt like giving us what we wanna see(fwocker). I think Junior needs another couple of fights to make a name for himself in the U.S before he gets hold of cotto.
You wouldn't give him props if he beat Zab... :oQuote:

Would love to see him have ago at Floyd though, interesting style, tactical chess match.
;)
yeh zab isnt as big a name as he may be thinking of right now.... but u know how it is with fighters avenging losses!!Quote:

but zab beat corley... its like a step on the ladder.. zab wouldnt be a super fight but still quite a big fight!
Since this is 140, why not fight Vivian Harris or Mike Arnaoutis?
I would say he fights the winner of Hatton-Urango, With cotto moving up the winner of Torres-mighty mike would be wbo champ, and wba is still vacant. Balbi is the #2 contender and M'Baye is #1 contender for WBA so He has some good choices. I say fight Harris Im with starr.
yeah but the naysayers would say... Zab has come off 2 losses and i see and unbeaten Cotto as an easier fight that would give more credit for a win...Quote:

Ok, just making sure you didn't actually see Zab as an easy win or something.. He would proably be a harder fight than Cotto, I agree, but neither would be fight's Id pick Witter in.Quote:

would love for Urango to get injured and not fight Hatton and come back and fight WitterQuote:

Cotto would be difficult for Witter because of his defence but he does plod and would allow Witter to unload.
Cotto is never gonna fight a top light welter
im sure cotto would...Quote:

cotto will fight the best but arum isnt as dumb as he is annoying and will pick the fights very carefully and make sure miguel will win comfortably by picking fighters according to theyr styles etc... make it easyer for miguel till a little bit later i think
Harris would be easy pickings for Junior if the interested Witter turns up.
I think Saddo's right as it also fits with what Witter said in the pre-fight, he wants Cotto.
Witter believes he has the measure of cotto and it would be a cracking fight.
With a proper belt around his waist maybe the fight is viable before chunky Cotto looks at the move up?
I can't see Hatton looking to fight Witter anytime soon as the payday doesn't add up yet.
A successful fight for Witter against cotto though would give Hatton a real nugget to aim for and something that may interest the American audience.
Unification with Hatton when Hatton beats Urango,and the winner fighs Castillo? Sounds good to me.
Once again have to agree, would be nice to see 8)Quote:

Zab vs Witter would be a VERY good fight, lets hope it comes off.
I think you guys are getting a little carried away with Junior's win.
He beat a gatekeeper. nothing more.
Expect Witter's first defense to be against someone like Ben Rabah or Henry Brussels.
The closest I see him getting to a mega fight is against Pauli Malignaggi.
He will probably remain on the fringes for another couple years then he will get a big domestic fight with Amir Khan in 2008.
I can't see Ricky fighting him, not now he's gatecrashed America and can get mega fights like Urango ;)
Let's not forget he's WBC champ now though... Surely that would help land him big fights... I mean why shouldn't Hatton wan't the fight it's a unification... And as Bilbo pointed out he's fighting Urango now... NOBODY cares about that fight, so if he doesn't look great but get's another "win", I could see him fighting Witter.
