Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (44-0-1, 31 KOs) vs. Marco Antonio Rubio (53-5-1, 46 KOs) takes place this Saturday night on HBO. 

If the nephew of the legend gets the likely win, fans might see current champion Sergio Martinez and former champion Antonio Margarito face Chavez Jr. sometime in 2012.

Bob Arum of 'Top Rank' recently commented on both Margarito and a fight against Sergio Martinez.

"I think that certainly if Chavez keeps going at the high pace at which he's going, I think that I would like to do a Martinez (Sergio) fight by the end of the year," said Arum.

"In other words, I would probably do a fight in early April or early May for Chavez on HBO, and then, maybe a fight against Margarito. And then Martinez."

Five time 'Trainer Of The Year' in Freddie Roach made it clear that his pupil has made big strides between the ropes.

"Julio's conditioning is good and his boxing ability has improved. We're trying to make him a better boxer, and I think that showed a lot in his last fight  with Manfredo. I think that you will see that even a little bit more in this next fight," said Roach

Any of these matchups should be good ones as they will all end up being great tests of where Chavez Jr.
