WBC: Chavez Jr. Must Fight Sergio Martinez, No Interims - Boxing News
The main loophole is if the two promoters can work something out that permits Chavez Jr. to keep the belt. I'm not sure what Arum can offer Dibella at this point. It appears Cotto won't fight someone as dangerous as Martinez ever again in his career and there isn't anyone else on the Top Rank roster that is a big enough name to satisfy Dibella. I can see Dibella and Arum agreeing to Andy Lee versus Chavez Jr. for February, which is a real test for Chavez Jr., mind you. His realest threat so far in his career. Then the winner would face Martinez in the early fall assuming Martinez successfully defends his silver title against Macklin on St. Patty's day in March.
