Fighters who have yet to step it up?

[Rantcatrat]

Was just thinking about how there are a bunch of fighters who have yet to step it up despite plenty of high profile televised fights on HBO and Showtime, and what will happen when they finally do. Obviously the first example to jump into my mind was Chavez Jr until recently, and how horribly that went for him against Martinez, but he's not the only fighter who has either never stepped in with a decent opponent or hasn't in way too long. A couple more that come to mind are Martirosyan, Broner, Canelo, Donaire (up till recently), Rigondeaux, Cleverly and plenty more, so question is, who should they be fighting?

No offense but you are glaringly wrong on Donaire. Among others he defeated, Vic (2007), Hernan (2010) and Fernando (2011) were highly ranked prior to suffering defeats against Donaire. Narvaez (2011) was moving up in weight, but he was the top- ranked junior bantamweight when Donaire beat him (still is). Mathebula (2012) and Vasquez Jr. (2012) were both top-ten ranked bantamweights too at the time that they faced Donaire.

Martirosyan is scheduled to face Lara.

Canelo should face a highly-ranked junior middleweight. It doesn't even need to be Cotto, Mayweather, or Martinez. It could be Gabriel Rosado, Cornelius Bundrage, or the winner of Martirosyan/Lara.

Cleverly should face Shumenov.

Speaking of Shumenov, I'd like to see him step it up soon too, although because he doesn't have a major promoter and isn't American, he hasn't been on any major network here yet.

I would like to see Edwin Rodriguez step it up. He's been on HBO a couple of times now. Arguably, he ducked Adonis Stevenson, but that's the exact kind of match he needs, or someone like Anthony Dirrell.

Mateusz Masternak at cruiserweight should step up soon. He's got 28 wins, no losses, but against no real competition. He should take on Fragomeni, or another experienced veteran on his way out.

At heavyweight, how about Boystov? When will he take the step up in competition?
