No, you're not. This fight is total garbage. Any of the fights you list is better.

Personally, I think if he's outgrown 118, he should just bypass 122 and go straight to 126 where the big fights are. He can have his freebie there instead of wasting it on Vasquez, and then if he looks/feels good at the weight, work toward a fight with Gamboa, which IMO would be bigger and better than the Gamboa/Rios match Arum is trying to sell (though that one is not bad either; Rios's size may be a problem for Gamboa). Salido, JM Lopez, and Chris John are obviously all better fights than anything at 122 as well.

I'll say it again -- if he's going to waste a fight at 122, it should be with Nishioka. That's the only matchup that's even halfway competitive at that weight.
