I agree. He should go a different route. Manfredo has climbed back in the rankings with his 6 fight win streak but he didn't look all that good his last outing.

Martinez should really go after the winner of Zbik/Chavez Jr. He can grab the WBC strap back, (not that it matters. People know who the champ is) whilst putting an undefeated fighter down with a name that will sell tickets. It's probably the smartest fight right now. If they could haul Surm's ass out of moth balls, I'd like that one too but they won't.
