Aside from all of the rubbish Lonegen is spinning here, he does say that JP's next opponent will probably be his highest independently ranked so far (meaning on Boxrec). From memory Kali was 31 when they fought, so it would have to come from the top 30, that's good news at least and should rule out Madungo.
As available opponents in the top 30 go, that doesn't leave all that many for ChCh:
- Malik Scott
- Antonio Tarver
- Steve Cunningham
- Carlos Takam
- Tony Thompson
- Tomasz Adamek
- Christian Hammer
- Mike Perez
- Andriy Fedesov
- Odlanier Solis
- Bryant Jennings
We know Duco are obsessed with rankings and have all but written off the WBA; of those Tarver, Thompson, Hammer, Perez and Solis are unranked with any of the WBC, WBO or IBF.
Which leaves Scott, Cunningham, Takam, Adamek, Fedesov & Jennings.
Thoughts? Or am I looking too much into what he said..?
