The problem is I can't really imagine who I would prefer to see Wlad face that will actually fight him (Povetkin would be a natural choice, but he won't fight). The Pulev-Dimitrenko winner would be worth a fight, as would Boystov, Chisora, or Arreola.
As much of an underdog as Cotto is against Floyd at this stage, I really think Thompson is A LOT more of an underdog. He's basically a no hoper. He's a tough solid enough guy but all he does really is jab jab jab. He lost once already, I figure he'll lose earlier and more emphatically this time. Pointless matchup, but still a step up from Mormeck who should be ashamed of himself.
