He's not going to take a lower profile fight in hopes of building his profile in the states, there isn't anyone to do that against anyways really. He is 37, an all action fighter with a terrific record, and he's already fought there a few times. THe reality is he's not going to be the A side to any big fight in Vegas no matter what he does. If Chavez won't take the fight, I can't see how a domestic clash with DeGale isn't his best option.
I'd personally love to see him move up to 175 and challenge Adonis Stevenson in Montreal, mostly because I'd consider going to see it
I wonder if that wouldn't be enticing for him though, he probably has a decent profile there from beating Bute already, who was very popular at home.
