Added to this Manfredo's name has been banded around previously when Calzaghe ended up fighting Bika.

To me it all makes sence - perfect oppenent on all Warren's critera and to the average fan it will generate huge interest, i think Manfredo has been released from his contender contract so that obsticle will be removed.

We'll see
So if it's Manfredo.

How should the level of competition be considered compared to the Bika fight?
(perhaps considering that some ppl now in retrospect chooses to rate Bika quite high)

A step up?
About the same?
Worse?
