    Forget Burns he has no chance at all to beat Broner. Burns will get knocked out in under 6 rounds. The fight to make is with Rios. Even though Rios is slow, he has a great chin and knows how to fight on the inside.

    He should at least fight the Burns/Vazquez winner before moving up...

    Depends how Rios tries to come in. He's the better inside fighter IMO. Broner is always improving so its hard to say, but staying low and going to the body is still a weakness of his. If Rios can use his often neglected jab, he can really punish him. I noticed Broner was getting a bit tired, his punches would lose steam, then he'd go all out landing great power punches, then they'd lose steam again.

    Broner has already refused to sign to fight Guerrero, Hell, he ran from him!

    Guerrero? So when a 147 pounder calls out a 135 pounder you think the 135 pounder is ducking, but when a 135 pounder calls out a 147 pounder and the 147 pounder accepts you think the 147 pounder is cherry picking? :huh

    WTF logic is that? :blood

    Only......... he's not.

    Broner can fight inside effectively while maintaining good defense, Rios can't.

    Rios would be an easy fight for Broner. Garcia and Matthyse are bigger threats to Broner.

    Rios would get TOTALLY picked apart.

    Honestly, I saw the Rios/Alvarado fight. I like Rios, but I don't think Rios beats any seasoned tough skilled fighters at 140. He may break a Judah, Khan, or Maidana, but he gets hit too often by HARD shots to beat the next echelon of fighters.

    Broner shreds Rios IF Rios can't get Broner to back up. If Broner backs up? Rios has a chance.
