Well, he's actually, as it stands, still the #3 contender for the belt. He won't fight again until at least June, though, so other guys stand to gain ground or pass him by then.
Montiel can fight whoever he wants for his first defense, then he must fight someone in the top 5. Odds are he will not choose Galaxy. But he has to fight the #1 contender by the end of the year. Galaxy will need to get cracking, and since his rating is so high he really needs to fight the best guys to move up. I will be shocked if he gets a title shot this year, but stranger things have happened. Maybe luck will smile on him a bit for once.
