What next for Arce?

Jorge Arce is a 3 weight world champion after his excellent stoppage of Wilfredo Vasquez Jnr last night. The Mexican warrior has had a great career but what next for him?

Rigondeaux would be more likely to fight him in America than Nishioka which could make that fight more likely. Donaire may step up which would be a great fight. Or would retiring on top be best for a fighter who looked like he was finished a couple of times last night?

I can see wilfredo asking for a rematch, maybe not straight away but after one more fight. It is sure to be a FOTY candidate and fights like those always go to a rematch. Wilfredo impressed me and given he only started boxing at 21, two years older then when arce won his first world title, he could still be a star.

Donaire has said he wants to weight hop, and only mares and darchinyan seem like viable opponents at Bantam. I think donaire stops arce and outskills him. They may even fight at Bantam as arce could become mexicos first 4 weight champion.

Rigondeux is a fast rising star but hasn't had anyone as experianced as arce in front of him. I think rigondeux can outbox him or blast him as he is an incredible body puncher and arce is battle worn and his stamina is not as good as he was in his prime.

I would like to see him retire on the top, he's given is wars, but these mexicans like to take on the best even when they are past there best. He has a good few fights less and a few more paydays.

I think their will probably be a rematch as well but would rather see him go out on top.

Don't think he's got enough left in the tank for Donaire and Rigondeaux.

Rematch looks the best bet for me, agree Donaire and Rigondeaux are too much at this stage.

I think a Arce vs Montiel at Bantam would sell well. Before donaire, montiel was p4p top 10 and regarded as #1 or #2 at Bantam by anyone. He had a huge loss, it happens, donaire is a speicial talent and a KO artist. Montiel and Arce are the standout mexicans of the lower weights. They are both 3-weight champions and are both warriors. It would be a FOTY candidate I'm sure. It's a chance for arce to become mexicos first 4-weight champ and it also gives montiel a chance to be one of the top dogs in the division again.

I would love Arce to become Mexicos first four weight World champion. He's never had the praise the fighter like Morales, Barerra or the Marquez brothers had.

Would love to see Montiel v Arce two great fighters maybe past it but looking to go out with a bang. Would fancy Arce after what I've seen in both of their last fights Arce looks in better shape of the two.

He is a four weight world champ now, who knows he could pick up a belt at bantam too just not against donaire

He only held an interim title at bantamweight.
